Abstract
Market Intelligence Report
The complete report provides an invaluable mix of vital market data and
background information, including five-year market projections. The report
comprises four main sections: Pharmaceutical Market Outlook, Background Data,
Healthcare System, and Accessing the Pharmaceutical Market. Report sections
are dynamically updated, being re-issued when market developments demand it.
Pharmaceutical Market Outlook
An integral part of the full report, the Pharmaceutical Market Outlook, which
includes five-year market projections, is also available separately.
The Indian pharmaceutical market is about to enter a new era, with the
recognition under the TRIPs (Trade-Related aspects of Intellectual Property
Rights) agreement of pharmaceutical product patents from 1st January 2005.
This change undoubtedly makes the market a more attractive proposition to
international companies, although entry into a market traditionally served by
a vast, albeit fragmented domestic industry is likely to be extremely
competitive. The market leaders are the big domestic firms: Ranbaxy, Dr.
Reddy's and Cipla, among others, although no one company has a market share of
more than 5%. In 2004, there are only three multinationals with a significant
presence on the Indian market: GSK, Pfizer and Aventis.
As the Indian economy develops, more people move into the growing middle
classes and gain disposable income. Alongside this is an increasing demand for
high quality healthcare. Espicom's Market Intelligence Report sets the
pharmaceutical market into context, providing background information on the
country, its people and the organisation of its healthcare services, including
information on the main private healthcare providers.
