"Algeria Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare Report Q2 2016" is now available at Fast Market Research

Despite a slowdown in the Algerian economy due to low oil prices, the country ' s pharmaceutical and healthcare markets are expected to sustain their positive growth trajectory over a multi-quarter horizon. The health sector expansion will be supported by long-term drivers such as growing demand for healthcare and treatment, healthcare system modernisation and sustained foreign investment in domestic drug manufacturing. Although we expect foreign investors to continue benefitting from government incentives aimed at boosting domestic pharmaceutical production and technology transfer, operating challenges will continue weigh on the market 's full potential .

Risk/Reward Index

In Q216, we have revised Algeria's Pharmaceutical Risk/Reward Index (RRI) score upwards to 50.4 (out of 100) from 48.1 previously. This is above the regional average of 41.3. The score revision was driven by improved industry rewards indices and country rewards indices. Algeria is now in eighth place (up two positions from last quarter) out of 31 countries in the Middle East and Africa region. Algeria's score is boosted by a large pharmaceutical market and a favourable long-term market development, but dragged down by the country's poor regulatory environment.
