INDIA - MARKET REVIEW

India has a huge population in excess of one billion people and a growing middle class with access to high quality healthcare. Conversely, in this geographically vast country plagued by natural disasters, the majority of the population is both rural and poor and western style pharmaceuticals are not even an issue for millions of people.

The Indian pharmaceutical market is highly competitive and remains dominated by low priced, domestically-produced generics. In value terms, India accounts for less than 2% of the world market and per capita expenditure on pharmaceuticals is relatively low.

India has an established domestic pharmaceutical industry, responsible for around 8% of world pharmaceutical production. The industry is export-oriented and the larger domestic companies are competing in the global market for both generics and original products. The highly skilled domestic workforce offers good opportunities for outsourcing both research and production.

In recent months, Pfizer has announced collaborative agreements with three Indian companies, most recently Strides Arcolab in January 2010. The Strides deal will provide Pfizer with around 40 off-patent products, mainly cancer therapies, which the firm will commercialise in the US. Previously, in May 2009, a deal was struck with Claris Lifesciences for the commercialisation of 15 generic injectables, which will be marketed exclusively by Pfizer in the US under the Pfizer brand. In March 2009, Pfizer and Aurobindo Pharma struck a commercialisation deal for 39 generic solid oral dose products in the US and 20 in Europe, plus an additional 11 in France. Pfizer also acquired the rights to 12 sterile injectable antibiotics in the US and Europe.
