Abstract
The Indian pharmaceutical industry addresses domestic and global markets through goods and services that encompass finished drug dosages (Formulations), Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), Research and Development (R&D), and related contract services. The domestic market comprises manufacture and sales of various formulations and APIs. The global market consists of export of formulations, APIs, and outsourcing services related to R&D and manufacturing, also known as Contract Research and Manufacturing Services (CRAMS). Domestically, major revenue sources are the production and sales of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients and generic drugs. Most of the drugs sold in India are generic formulations. Manufacturers preference for generic drugs is attributable to the low cost of research and the absence of an enforceable product patent regime prior to 2005. With more than 24,000 companies, the Indian pharmaceutical market is highly fragmented. This market which in 2006 reached revenues of $ 6.2 B and is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5% -- is projected to reach $ 10.3 B in revenues by 2010. Contributing factors to industry growth include increasing population, an increasing consumer base especially in the middle and upper income brackets, the need for improved healthcare infrastructure, and Indian companies reverseengineering skills. Among the major identified therapeutic segments, the bulk of Indian pharmaceutical sales is attributable to anti-infective drugs (18%), gastro-intestinal drugs (11%), and cardiovascular drugs (10%). India also is the destination for a large and growing volume of outsourced production and R&D by Multinational Pharmaceutical Companies (MPCs). Key factors that make India an attractive outsource include its lower costs of production and R&D, the highest number of plants certified by the US FDA outside the US (75), and highly skilled professionals. The services of these Indian companies include Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs), Contract Research Organizations (CROs) and other related services. The Indian pharmaceutical outsourcing market shows a healthy CAGR of 37.6% and is expected to increase from $ 929 M in 2006 to $ 3.33 B by 2010. In 2006, the Indian pharmaceutical CRO market was worth $ 265 M, with clinical trials contributing more than half of revenue. Projected figures for 2010 are $ 600 M, with a CAGR of 22.7%. Most of these companies are developing first-rate facilities for preclinical trials as well as expertise in research-biology and researchchemistry. This is expected to further accelerate growth in the near term. The Indian pharmaceutical CMO market was worth $ 620 M in 2006, and derives 60% of revenues from chemical synthesis. It is well set to reach $ 2.5 B by 2010 with a CAGR of 41.7%. Indian companies offering other pharmaceutical-related outsourced services (accounting, sales and marketing, etc.) yielded revenues of $ 44 M in 2006 and have the potential to generate revenues reaching $ 229 M by 2010.

Indias share in the global pharmaceutical outsourcing industry is expected to increase from 1.8% (in 2006) to 4.4% (in 2010). The various advantages offered by the Indian pharmaceutical outsourcing industry are attracting global investment on a scale that will spur the growth of the Indian pharmaceutical industry as a whole.

Indian pharmaceutical industry addresses domestic and global markets

The Indian Pharmaceutical Industrya Focused Study of Domestic and Outsourced Markets
The Indian pharmaceutical industry addresses the needs of two broad categories of marketdomestic and global. Domestic revenue is generated through sales and promotion of various drug categories. These include: Ethical drugs (available only with written instructions from a doctor to a pharmacist) Over-the-Counter (OTC) drugs Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). Global market needs are met with services that include: Outsourced R&D and manufacturing services, also known as Contract Research And Manufacturing Services (CRAMS), implemented by Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMO) and Contract Research Organizations (CRO). Manufacturing and sale of generics and APIs for the overseas market Drug discovery/modification.

Diversity of generic drugs in the Indian pharmaceutical market

An Introduction to Indias Domestic Pharmaceutical Market


Generic drugs form the bulk of what is sold in the Indian domestic pharmaceutical market. The various forms of generics include plain vanilla (standard unaltered form), value-added drugs (developed using innovative pharmaceutical techniques), and branded generics (generic drugs marketed by the company which developed the original molecule). An absence of product patent protection until the year 2005, low average disposable incomes of Indian drug purchasers, and the vast R&D investments of time and capital required to introduce new patented drugs are the chief reasons for the industrys focus on generic products rather than the more

expensive research-based products of regulated markets in the US, Europe, and Japan. For instance, while Lipitor (Pfizers cholesterollowering drug) costs 46 per tablet to a patient in the US, the generic form is available at only 6 per tablet in India. This price gap explains why India, despite having the worlds second largest population, has a domestic pharmaceutical revenue ($ 6.2 B in 2006) lower than that of smaller countries like Japan ($ 60 B) and Germany ($ 27 B)

The Indian pharmaceutical market showed a CAGR of 11.7% between 20002006

Dynamics of the Indian Domestic Pharmaceutical Market


In 2006 the Indian pharmaceutical industry was worth $ 6.2 B. The 2000-2006 CAGR of 11.7% is projected to rise to 13.5% by 2010, yielding a $ 10.3 B market. In 2005, the Indian pharmaceutical industry ranked 13th in terms of value and 4th in terms of volume in the global market.

Exhibit 4 shows that the key players of the Indian pharmaceutical market are GSK, Ranbaxy, Cipla, Nicholas Piramal, Zydus Cadila, Sun Pharma, Alkem, Pfizer, Lupin, and DRL. These ten companies account for a market share of 36.6%. GSK, the largest player, contributes 5.2%, followed by Ranbaxy (5.1%) and Cipla (5.1%). Despite the limits to growth caused by the markets fragmented nature, 2006 saw the pharmaceutical industry grow at a rate of 18% over the previous year. This is attributable to an increase in consumer expenditure on healthcare, as well as growth in health insurance. A detailed discussion of these positive drivers follows in the section titled Growth Drivers of the Indian Domestic Pharmaceutical Market. Market fragmentation is also reflected in the growing number of manufacturing units. Exhibit 5 shows that the number of manufacturing units has increased steadily from 2,257 in 1970 to 20,053 in 2000, and is expected to reach 39,546 by 2010 at a CAGR of 7.4%.

There are several reasons for this spurt in the number of units.

Disparity in quality control investments between smaller units and larger players

Poor Regulatory Standards Result in Low Entry Barriers for Smaller Players. The average investment of a small firm is $ 26,829. That of a larger unit averages $ 675,609. The Total Output/Net Fixed Investment is 52.1 for smaller units as compared to 30.8 for larger units, showing that productivity of small plants is unhampered by size. The output value per dollar invested in smaller plants is 69% higher than that of larger units, although the larger units enjoy various scale benefits like purchase of raw materials. Our research shows that lower investment of smaller units indicate a lack of investment in manufacturing infrastructure such as air control devices to check contamination, air conditioning, and effluent treatment plants.

10

Excise duty based on production costs helps smaller players

Excise Structure and Trade Margin Up until January 2005, excise was levied on the cost of production. This worked against organized players, since excise on their higher production costs elevates overall product cost. On the other hand, this excise provided additional benefits to the low-cost manufacturers and further increased the manufacturing cost gap between small and large manufacturers. This gap is expected to widen as a result of the prevalence of under-invoicing among small manufacturers. For small players with their own regional brands, there is a wide disparity between maximum retail price (MRP) and ex-factory costs. For small companies that sell unbranded generics, the MRP can be four to seven times the ex-factory prices. Small marketers/manufacturers also gain by passing on a portion of the differential between the MRP and ex-factory cost to the trade channels (in some cases, including doctors) to encourage volume sales.

Growth-Drivers of the Indian Domestic Pharmaceutical Market


Despite fragmentation, the Indian pharmaceutical industry showed a CAGR of 11.7% during 20002006. Further growth is expected because of a number of key factors.

Increased life expectancy will boost the future growth of the Indian pharmaceutical industry

Life expectancy is on a rise(4),(5),(6) The average life expectancy in India is 63 years as compared to 78 years in developed countries. However, Indias improving healthcare delivery infrastructure has ensured the continued rise in life expectancy and maternity child care measures. There has been a strengthening of specific programs, such as the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) and the introduction of Oral Rehydration Therapy (ORT) in 198687. Ongoing measures seek to control local endemic diseases. The consequent increase in life expectancy drives the growing proportion of an aging population -- the 60+ age-group will account for 11% of total population by 2021. This will further boost growth of the pharmaceutical industry.

Rising population With a population approximating 1.2 B, India is potentially a vast market for the pharmaceutical industry. The growing middle-class of around 300 M people has an increasing disposable income and higher healthcare expectations. Around 1/3rd of the middle class can afford quality private healthcare services, and this number is constantly growing. This points to increased healthcare spending and greater opportunities for the pharmaceutical market.

Consumer expenditure on healthcare showed a CAGR of 12.4% in 20002005

Increased Consumer Expenditure on Healthcare(5) The years of 2000-2005 saw a shift in the Indian consumers mindset, as evidenced by the increasing priority accorded to healthcare as a proportion of overall consumer expenditure. During this period, consumer expenditure on health goods and medical services showed a CAGR of 12.4%. There was an increase in consumer expenditure on pharmaceuticals, medical appliances/equipment (11.7%) as well as on outpatient services (12.7%). At 14%, consumer expenditure on hospital services showed the highest increase during 20002005. This reflects the primacy of healthcare as a growing concern for the Indian consumer.

Increasing Penetration of Health Insurance(4),(7),(8) In stark contrast to the US, where insurers pay more than 80% of the individuals healthcare cost, Indian insurers contribute a very small proportion. At present only 3% of the healthcare cost of an Indian patient is paid by insurers; 80% of costs are borne by the individual (refer exhibit 11). However, the insurance sector shows significant improvement, as evidenced by the 37.3% increase in the number of policies sold in 20032004 compared to 2001-2002. Sales of health insurance premiums written in India totaled $ 129.1 M in 2001. By 2006, sales rose to $ 711 M, a CAGR of 40.7%. By 2012, premium sales are projected at $ 3.8 B. This rise in healthcare insurance coverage is attributable to the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) bill, which has lifted entry restrictions for private players and allowed foreign players to enter the market. Additionally, the increase in consumers disposable income further boosts Indias insurance sector.

The growing numbers of healthcare insurance premium policies is likely to spur the Indian pharmaceutical market

At 1/6th that of the US, the density of healthcare workers (per 000) in India is very low. The majority of Indias population lives in rural areas, and poor healthcare service penetration leaves them undersupplied and underprovided. However, with increasing literacy rates and healthcare awareness, this trend shows signs of reversing. The number of doctors is increasing: from 445,455 in 1995 to 600,000 in 2004 (CAGR of 3.4%). The consequent increased penetration of healthcare infrastructure will add greater momentum to the overall healthcare sector.
th Globally, hospitals account for 1/4 of pharmaceutical market sales. In India, the proportion is only 1/11th. An additional 780,000 beds over the next ten years will strengthen the hospital sector, thereby boosting the pharmaceutical market.

Current statistics indicate that the Indian public sector share of healthcare as a percentage of GDP is less than that of developed nations. However, recent government measures are aimed at rectifying this situation. The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) launched in April 2005 seeks to provide effective healthcare to the rural population with a special focus on 18 states with weak public health indicators and/or weak infrastructure. These states are Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Jammu and Kashmir, Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Madhya Pradesh, Nagaland, Orissa, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Tripura, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh. In the finance bill of 20072008, the Government allocated a sum of $ 3,822 M to healthcare, a 22% increase from the previous year. As a result, the governments demand for pharmaceutical products is expected to increase in the next 45 years. .

Although the market is dominated by drugs used to cure acute diseases, the chronic segment is expected to reverse this trend and drive growth in the long term

Increasing Urbanization Is Leading to a Surge in Chronic Diseases Indias population is expected to show an increase in lifestylerelated diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. According to the census of 2001, the urbanization rate of 27.78% is expected to rise to 41% over the next 20 years. Consequently, lifestyle-related diseases are expected to increase. By 2020, these diseases are likely to be responsible for nearly 50% of drug sales in India as compared to only 23% in 2006. Cancer, diabetes, and rd cardiovascular disease are projected at 1/3 of the incremental demand during 20072020. Owing to the recurring nature of ailments in the chronic segment, an increased demand for medicines is foreseen; in most cases, treatment is required for the patients lifetime.

18

Indian pharmaceutical companies historically relied upon reverseengineering skills

Increase in Manufacturing Facilities The Indian Patent Act of 1970, which came into force in 1972, granted only process patents; product patents were not recognized. This encouraged reverse-engineering practices among domestic pharmaceutical players. Products manufactured in other countries were recreated using alternative processes distinct from the original method. This is borne out by the rise in the number of pharmaceutical companies manufacturing units which grew from 2,257 in 1970 to 20,053 in 2000. Despite speculations of slower growth after the introduction of product patents in 2005, the number of manufacturing units has grown. This trend is likely to continue for two major reasons: 1) Generic drugs constitute 90%95% of the drugs sold in India; very few patent-protected drugs are presently marketed in India. Consequently, the post-patent ruling is unlikely to hurt the existing infrastructure. 2) An increase in contract manufacturing outsourced to India is likely to encourage growth of pharmaceutical manufacturing units. Once patent-protected drugs are popularized, the mid to long-term may witness consolidation of small to medium-sized manufacturing units to meet regulatory and infrastructural requirements.

Advantages of Outsourcing Pharmaceutical Activities to India


Low production and R&D costs, a constant supply of qualified skilled professionals, government support, and improved infrastructure that answers to global pharmaceutical needs are among the numerous benefits of outsourcing pharmaceutical activities to India. India as a Outsourcing Favorable Destination for Pharmaceutical

India is increasingly a favorable destination for foreign players primarily because of low costs supported by a stable economy and an abundant talent pool. Low Production and R&D Costs Outsourcing achieves average cost savings of 35% and 60% for manufacturing and R&D respectively. The process of drug discovery and development places considerable demands on a companys resources and capital. Extensive process stages are involved in the development of an FDA-approved drug. In the US and Europe, it takes 14 years and around $ 1.7 B to develop a drug, of which $ 0.75 B is incurred in the clinical development timeframe.

In contrast, Exhibit 17 shows that the same drug discovery and development process when conducted in India saves companies around $ 1 B per drug. Due to low production costs and availability of talent, the greater part of cost saving occurs in the research chemistry phase of the drug discovery and development process. Additionally, with Indian labor wages at 1/7th the levels in developed countries, outsourcing to India brings the wage differential into play, and translates into 35% cost savings compared to the US and Europe.

Good educational standards and growing numbers of educational institutions are building a talent pool of skilled workers

India as a Consistent Source of Qualified Skilled Professionals Low costs and an abundant talent pool combine to make India an attractive hub for outsourcing activities in the pharmaceutical domain. The number of colleges for general education is growing steadily. Selected educational statistics of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, listed close to 13,500 colleges for professional and general education in 2005.

Government Support

The government contributes to the growth of R&D through partnerships and by offering benefits to companies

Indias Department of Biotechnology (established in 1986) has funded more than 1,800 R&D projects, helped in the development of 12 vaccines, and transferred 54 technologies to the biotech industry, of which 17 have been commercialized. It typically takes 3-4 months to get approval for pre-clinical and clinical trials. The Government is taking steps to expedite the process. For example, two government-sponsored breeding centers will supply genetically modified animals to Indian vendors. Thus, facilities for testing non-human primates are now available to the public sector through government-funded research centers like the Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow.

22

Improving infrastructure

India has world-class facilities and infrastructure for drug manufacture

India has the worlds largest number of FDA-approved plants (75) located outside of the US. India has almost three times the number of FDA- approved plants as China. Our research shows that US FDA-approved plants can be set up in India at half the cost of instituting similar plants in the US or Europe. Exhibit 19: Number of FDA-approved plants in various (12),(13) countries Exhibit 19: Number of FDA-approved plants (2006)
80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 10 0 India Italy China Spain Taiwan Israel Hungary 8 5 27 25 55 75

Additionally, Indian Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) norms are becoming increasingly strict. The Mashelkar Committee report of November 2003 confirms that governmental amendments to Schedule M, which defines the standard manufacturing practices, are bringing bring Indian standards closer to GMP norms of the WHO. However, since these GMP norms reduce cost competitiveness, small manufacturers are reluctant to adopt them. While the majority of large units have already taken steps to adapt to the mandatory manufacturing standards of highly regulated markets like the US, Europe, and Australia, small firms show reluctance to follow suit, owing to the heavy investments entailed in updating existing units. There has been a clear tendency among small firms in the Confederation of Indian Pharmaceutical Industry (CIPI) to delay the implementation of Schedule M. In response to these reservations, the Government extended the deadline for implementation of Schedule M from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004, and then again to June 30, 2005. Major steps have been put in place to develop quality standards and uniformity across manufacturing practices. The factors outlined above contribute towards making India a preferred hub for pharmaceutical activities. The overall benefits are summarized in Exhibit 20.

Indian Pharmaceutical Industry Catering to the Globe


India serves global clients through various business models and offerings, such as outsourcing of services (including R&D) and manufacturing. Strong reverse-engineering skills, a robust talent pool, government support for exports, low production and R&D costs, and world-class infrastructure to assure high quality standards are some of the factors that enable India to play a pivotal role in the global pharmaceutical market. India is considered a global destination for supplies of high-standard APIs. A central factor in Indias place in the global pharmaceutical market is its reverse-engineering expertise, whereby a drug made by foreign pharmaceutical companies after years of R&D is formulated at a much lower cost. The innovator-company patent is challenged in the US through a Para IV filing, which is made when the applicant believes that its product or the use of its product does not infringe on the innovator's listed patents.

Exhibit 28 highlights the intensive research and knowledge-oriented skills demanded in research biology and research chemistry as compared to Phase IV, which chiefly entails data-management skills since it involves activities such as clinical data-management, patient recruitment, trial management, monitoring, etc. Moreover, contract research-related outsourcing is based on a skill-based maturity. The number of global trials conducted in India has surged from 40 in 2002 to 200 in 2005. Historically, Multinational Pharmaceutical Companies (MPCs) needed to set up their captive bases in order to conduct clinical trials. Today, given the rise in the number of contract research organizations, clinical trials can be outsourced. Increased capabilities in data-management further expedite business. Activity in the Research Biology Domain Is Likely to Gather Momentum in the Long Term India conducts activities such as chemo-informatics and gene sequencing with expertise. However, proficiency in end-to-end activities needs to be developed. This skill-gap is attributable to the industrys traditional focus on process reverse-engineering. Consequently, growth in this innovative field has been inhibited. To encourage the requisite skill-set, the Indian government has initiated steps to promote research and development. This translates into a long-term time-frame of opportunity for research biology outsourcing to India. Near-term Opportunities in Research Chemistry The legacy of process reverse-engineering has served to refine the skill-sets of scale-up, process optimization and manufacturing in Indian vendors of biopharmaceutical R&D. Moreover, proven capabilities in data-management and information technology have made India a favored destination for the outsourcing of laborintensive activities involved in clinical data management and biometrics. MPCs have used these skills and secured high quality output in chemistry, while obtaining cost savings of 80%. Additionally, the Indian pharmaceutical industrys shift towards drug discovery has brought about improvements in chemistry research.

Contribution of research chemistry towards revenues is set to increase in the near future

Owing to governmental tax incentives, pharmaceutical companies spend heavily on R&D. This has resulted in an expansion of focus towards chemistry. The top 10 domestic companies with highest revenues have more than doubled their R&D budgets from an average of 2.8% to 7% of sales. Several have doubled their R&D personnel.

30

More and more vendors now offer end-to-end solutions in chemistry research. This allows large-scale rather than piecemeal outsourcing. Evolving Capabilities in Pre-clinical Development MPCs are increasingly confident in outsourcing pre-clinical development work to India. However, off-shoring of end-to-end work is still not a practical option in the short term, given Indias limited facilities for studying non-human primates and insufficient laboratories that meet Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards. Indian capabilities in pre-clinical trials have evolved primarily because of these advances implemented by domestic companies: (i) Upgrading of laboratories and vivaria (the centers that manage and house research organisms and samples). (ii) Development of expertise in conducting pharmacokinetic, drug metabolism, and toxicity studies in rodents and, to a lesser extent, in canines.

Indian companies are steadily attracting pre-clinical and clinical trials

As a result of Indias vast population, the frequency and magnitude of patient enrollment per site is high. Further it is available to patients at 60-70% of cost. Moreover, treatment-navet of most patients facilitates trials.

Conclusion
Globally and domestically, Indias pharmaceutical industry has huge untapped potential in terms of supply and demand. Acute disease therapeutics currently dominate the domestic market. This sector shows 18% growth, closely followed by the 17% growth of the chronic disease market. The focus on the acute disease sector is attributable to Indias growing younger population which is less susceptible to chronic disease. In the long term, lifestyle-related chronic diseases are likely to pose the greatest challenge to the industry, leading India to follow the pattern of developed countries, in which the chronic disease segment predominates. The Indian market is presently dominated by Indian companies. Although this trend is expected to continue in near future, the foreseeable long term is likely to witness a growing presence of global companies and the launch of their research products. Indias suitability as an attractive location for the pharmaceutical outsourcing business owes to the low cost and high quality of its products. Indian contract manufacturing is expected to register a growth of 41.7% during 20062010. Even though further cost advantages may grab China a small share of Indias CMO pie, Indias US FDA-approved plants seem poised to attract substantial additional business. Additionally, with Indian CROs expected to grow at 23.7% until 2010, India remains the stronger contender for R&D-based outsourced services. High profit margins and growth opportunities in the Indian pharmaceutical industrys service sector make India a promising focus for global mergers and acquisitions. Global generic companies already have some Indian API-based companies on their acquisition radar because of increasing demand for low-price quality APIs. Collaboration between Indian companies active in the US and Europe and research-based global companies would facilitate the entry of authorized generics into the market. The strong R&D base, reverse engineering skills, and wide domestic distribution of companies like Ranbaxy and Dr. Reddys render them attractive collaborators with research-based companies. These unique features of the Indian pharmaceutical market underscore a large and growing domestic market as well as Indias potentially vast role in the global pharmaceutical market.
