The pharmaceutical market worldwide, after having experienced exponential growth over the past few years, is now witnessing a slump. This decline in global pharma market is largely attributed to the patent expiry of key blockbusters together with saturation in key pharma markets such as the US and Western Europe. Meanwhile, pharma markets in some developing regions like Asia and Latin America have been continuously witnessing robust growth rate in last few years on account of increasing prevalence of diseases, rising healthcare spending and increasing affordability. Overall, these markets enjoy good growth potential in coming few years.
According to our latest research “Global Pharmaceutical Market Forecast to 2012”, global pharma industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 6% during 2010-2012. The growth will be driven by low cost factor, increasing prevalence of diseases worldwide and rising per capita income of consumers. Our research identifies that sales of generic drugs will emerge as the most prominent segment of the pharma market over the forecast period, indicating large opportunities for generics manufacturers to tap.
Our regional level analysis finds that the pharma industry is growing at a rapid rate in the emerging countries like India, China, Brazil, Russia, among others, while a slowdown in the growth has been encountered in the US and Western European countries. Besides this, we have found that growing inorganically via means of Mergers & Acquisitions has emerged as the most viable way for the companies to expand/extend their reach at a faster rate and maintain their revenues. We anticipate this trend to continue in near future also.
“Global Pharmaceutical Market Forecast to 2012” provides a comprehensive analysis of every major pharmaceutical market worldwide. North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Africa have been selected as the most important regions to be presented in this report. The report contains statistical and analytical information on each of these markets, covering their current market size, demand and healthcare statistics. It also features analysis of future directions, supplemented with facts and figures.

Emerging Pharmaceutical Markets Globally
The growth in pharma markets in emerging countries has outpaced the overall growth of the global pharma market. The growth in these markets is being driven by rapidly growing economies of these countries, increasing per capita income, increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases, and low-cost factors. In 2008, pharma market in E7 countries (Brazil, Russia, China, India, Turkey, Mexico and Indonesia) was estimated at around US$ 96 Billion, and it is expected that high growth in these markets will help these countries increase their share in global pharma market.
According to our new research study on the sector titled “Emerging Pharmaceutical Markets Globally”, the pharmaceutical market in the abovementioned emerging countries is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 14.7% during 2009-2012. Currently, these markets are characterized by rapid urbanization, which has led to the growth in prevalence of lifestyle diseases.
Our report has found that China has the largest pharma market out of these seven countries, followed by Brazil, Mexico and India. However, the maximum growth in future is expected to be in Russia and China due to strong government support. Besides, we have identified that most of the E7 pharmaceutical markets are still dominated by acute therapies, but the growth rate of chronic therapies far exceeds that of acute therapies. Thus, the therapy mix of the market in the next few years will be much different from what it is today.
The research study provides extensive and coherent information about pharma markets in emerging countries. It highlights several emerging opportunities growing in line with development of pharma markets in E7 countries. The research study gives detailed statistical and analytical review on demographics, macroeconomic indicators, disease profile, key drivers and restraints. It contains all the key details that will help clients to draw up market strategies and assess opportunity areas for their success in these emerging pharma markets.

Conference on Clinical Trials Asia Summit 2010
Clinical trials in India are finally becoming transparent. There has been a dramatic increase in the number of trials that have got officially registered in Clinical Trials Registry-India (CTRI). According to records collected by the Indian Council of Medical Research and the Drug Controller General's office, between July-December 2007, only 11 trials were registered. The number increased to 137 between Jan-Dec 2008 and then to an all-time high of 546 between Jan-Dec 2009. This year, while January saw 58 trials registered, February recorded 60. India has all the competitive advantages for conducting clinical trials. As the country is increasingly becoming a favoured destination for clinical trials, a gap analysis needs to be done to scale up all resources for clinical trials. This scale up is essential for India to cope with the large global clinical trial projects. It is no coincidence over the last decade or more of economic liberalization, and years of unprecedented growth, that India and parts of South Asia are becoming a preferred clinical research destination for multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology corporations.
CTAS 2010 will examine the current issues faced in clinical trials operations, addressing the risks, timeline and budget stipulations, while effectively tackling key challenges in overcoming trials agreement and site contract arbitration problems. This summit will discuss the operational element of trial site management, strategic partnership with CROs and SMOs, patient, talent & investigators management in order to improve & optimise the overall drug development effectiveness and ROI. Discover on how to implement and benefit from electronic data management & monitoring cost effectively. This conference will be shared by leading industrial practitioners across the region to promote practical discussions; especially on the know-how to manage needs, variability of different countries and institutions to enhance clinical operational excellence and vigilance. Attendees will have the chance to learn, network and benchmark against the global top pharmas and local industry leaders on the best practices in talent, site, budget and performance management in clinical trials. The conference aims to provide a detailed analysis of what it takes to conduct clinical trials from a biopharmaceuticals and vaccines perspective in India and China and also addressing risk/benefit balance, anecdotal experiences of the multinational pharmaceutical industry in India and China, selection and role of CROs, logistics of operations, clinical trials management, government policies and pharmacovigilance.
CTAS 2010 will provide you with the data that you need to recognize this complex and rapidly-expanding sector. Knowing the future market, and what impact will that have on future business opportunities? This is your opportunity to stay ahead by learning the latest trends and networking with the trend setters. It gives us immense pleasure in welcoming you to the Clinical Trials Asia Summit '2010.
