5. CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS
• Focused expertise and resources, “trends” toward a higher
probability of success.
• Industry metrics for predicting the probabilities associated with each
stage of drug development are useful but may not be reliable.
• Life cycle management is essential.
• Licensing and acquisition talent needs to be “best in class”.
• The ability to generate meaningful free cash flow is the ultimate
predictor of sustainability.

6. KEY DRIVERS
• Growing orientation towards Research and Development (R&D) – The introduction of product
patent in India has brought some fundamental changes in strategies of Indian pharmaceutical
companies, with focus shifting more towards R&D.
• Leveraging CRAMs opportunities – India is emerging as the global hub for contract research and
manufacturing services (CRAMs) due to its low cost advantage and world class quality standards
• Growing exports - Exports have been the major growth enabler of the Indian pharmaceutical
industry in recent years. India exports pharmaceutical products, APIs and intermediates to more
than 200 countries across the world
• Expanding presence in regulated market – Over the years, India has shown better regulatory
awareness and superior technical skills, which has enabled Indian companies to penetrate the
high-value markets like the US and EU. Exports of pharmaceutical products (finished products as
classified under heading 30 of ITC-HS code) to the US grew by an impressive 33% to Rs 23 bn
and by a whopping 62% to Rs 35 bn to the EU during FY04-FY06. Regulated markets, though
difficult to penetrate due to stringent regulations, are known to give better value and margin to
exporters
• Rise in new product launches – New products launched since 2005 accounted for around 12% of
the overall market growth. These launches have been done by both domestic and international
players and some of them are first time launch of new chemical entity (NCE)

8. KEY ISSUES AND CHALLENGES
• Price Controls – Price controlled drugs are essential medicines, such as antibiotics and painkillers,
and drugs used for the treatment of diseases such as cancer and asthma. Such medicines contain
bulk drugs, or raw materials, whose prices are controlled by the NPPA - manufacturers cannot
hike prices on their own. 10% of drugs fall in this category
• Infrastructure – . Poor energy and transport infrastructure has traditionally posed a problem for
companies. Some areas lack basic hotel facilities, preventing reach and penetration
• Labour – There is an increasing concern in the domestic industry regarding a shortage of skilled
labour in critical areas. This causes a demand-supply imbalance, and has led to an increased rate
of wage inflation.
• Regulatory Control – Indian drug companies have attracted the highest number of enforcements
from the American drug regulator in 2013, a year that has seen the US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) turning stricter to ensure compliance levels and quality of medicines. As
many as 19 drug manufacturing factories across India were barred from supplying medicines to
the US, the world’s largest drug market
• Intellectual Property Concerns
