Emerging Trends & Opportunities

 Geographic Convergence
 Established and growing destination for Generic product
development and manufacturing
 Leading Indian companies seeking overseas markets and
global scale

 Generic – Innovator Convergence


 Leading Indian companies trying to climb the value chain
into innovative research
 India developing into a Drug Discovery services
outsourcing destination
Generic Product Development &
Manufacturing Destination
 Leader in API DMF filings in the US
 Jan-Jun 2006 – 175 of the 601 DMF’s filed were by Indian companies
 2005 - 313 of the 946 DMF’s filed were by Indian companies
 Leader in capital investments - largest number of US FDA approved
manufacturing facilities (outside the US)
 Almost 20% of ANDA filings in the US

 No place like India for generics R&D and manufacturing of API’s &
formulations
 India’s biggest assets – cost, speed & scientists – churning out generics
faster than you can say ‘copy’
 In 5 years, 30-35% of the global demand for generic products is expected to
be met by India
Generic Product Development &
Manufacturing Destination – cont.

 Leading global/regional generic players establishing a


presence:
 Teva – acquired an Indian co in 2003, setting up new
development centre & another manufacturing facility
 Sandoz – development centre, 3 manufacturing facilities,
more than 1000 employees
 Actavis - development centre, acquired CRO (Lotus)
 Mylan – acquired controlling stake in Matrix last month for
US$ 736 mn
 Ratiopharm – development centre, manufacturing facilities
Indian companies seeking overseas markets
and global scale

 Aggressive Growth Strategies


 For building a global scale – Ranbaxy aims to be one of the Top 5
 For market entry – acquiring local co or setting up subsidiaries

 Recent M&A activity – size of deals growing


 Ranbaxy going after acquisitions in US & Europe
 Acquired 3 companies in Europe in March/April 2006
• Terapia (Romania) for US$ 324 million
 Raising 1.5 billion to fund further acquisitions
 Dr. Reddy’s
 Acquired Betapharm (Germany) for US$ 570 million in March 2006
 Matrix (now part of Mylan)
 Acquired Docpharma (Belgium) for US$ 263 million in 2005.
Indian companies seeking
overseas markets – cont.

 Partnership opportunities
 Large number of large and mid-sized Indian companies with world-class
generic product development and manufacturing capabilities and facilities
 Lot of under-utilized manufacturing capacities
 These companies prefer focusing attention & resources on some key markets
(US/EU) and look for partners in other markets
 Opportunities for supplementing pipelines, filling pipeline gaps and
reducing/optimizing cost of development and cost of goods:
 In-licensing products

 Dossier and API development

 Contract Manufacturing

 Contract Research – pilot & pivotal bio-equivalence studies

 Opportunities for out-licensing and supplying products to leading Indian


companies for other markets
Generic – Innovator convergence
 Increasing number of Indian companies moving up the value chain from generic to
NDDS/NCE research
 Low cost development/manufacturing to Low cost innovation

 Some examples:
 Ranbaxy
 1 project in Phase II
 1 project in Phase I
 7 projects in Pre-Clinical – 2 with GSK
 Dr. Reddy’s
 3 projects in Phase II
 2 projects in Phase I
 4 projects in Pre-Clinical
 Glenmark
 2 projects in Phase II – deals with US$ 190 million signed
 4 projects in Pre-Clinical

 Opportunities for in-licensing & out-licensing


Drug Discovery Services Outsourcing

 Global outsourcing market:


 US$ 15-20 billion – Manufacturing
 US$ 3-4 billion – Research (informatics, chemistry services & chemical
custom synthesis)
 Big pharma is entering into deals with Indian companies to lower
their cost of R&D
 Collaborative R&D – GSK - Ranbaxy
 Service outsourcing - Wyeth – GVK, Jubilant, Lilly – Suven
 Global discovery services companies are looking at India to retain
their cost advantages
 Albany Molecular & Nektar have already established a presence
 Indian industry hoping to see 3-4 global discovery services
companies emerging out of India
Drug Discovery Services Outsourcing

 Leading Indian Service Providers:


 Contract Manufacturing – Jubilant, Shasun, Divi’s
 Clinical Research – Syngene (Biocon), Aurigene
(Reddy’s), Synchron
 Bio-informatics & other IT services – TCS, Satyam,
Infosys, GVK Bio, Jubilant
 Drug Discovery/Medicinal Chemistry – Aurigene,
Divi’s, Syngene, Suven, GVK Bio
 Pre-clinicals – Vimta, Lambda
 Central laboratory services – SRL Ranbaxy, Vimta
Key Partnership Considerations
 Supplier/Partner mapping/selection
 Capability / Keenness / Reliability / Competitiveness
 Key team members – development, regulatory & commercial
 Optimal Number of Partners
 Strategic – markets/product lines
 Opportunistic – product specific
 Relationship management
 Relationship oriented culture
 Contract negotiation
