PharmaBoardroom Releases 'Healthcare and Life Sciences Review India' July 2018 Pharma Report

LONDON, July 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

PharmaBoardroom today releases its new 52-page pharma report, Healthcare & Life Sciences Review India 2018

The latest edition of HCLS Review India builds on the March 2018 report from the country which painted a picture of the South Asian nation as the 'pharmacy of the world' - able to supply affordable generic drugs to global markets and with an increasingly advanced footprint in R&D intensive niches such as biologics.

Through interviews with the heads of some of India's leading domestic pharmaceutical companies, this report delves into the biologics, biosimilars and new chemical entities being developed in India and taken abroad; the nation's hubs of development and innovation, notably the northern state of Gujarat; and how Indian companies have stepped up their quality compliance game following a spate of US FDA warning letters.

Other key topics covered in this report include the startling growth of the contract research and contract manufacturing sectors as pharma companies divest an ever-increasing number of non-core activities; the enduring importance of the domestic market, of which Indian companies hold a 77 percent market share; and how Indian organizations are consolidating their presence abroad through a series of acquisitions and tie-ups with international entities.
