It discusses key factors such as an aging population driving increased demand, regulations from the FDA and PPACA, and consolidation in the industry with larger companies acquiring smaller innovative ones. While the industry faces pressures from regulations and increasing wages, overall growth is expected to continue due to demographic trends and the need for ongoing innovation in medical technology. The industry provides opportunities for Oregon companies if they maintain innovation and low costs.
The global sales of medicines reached $942 billion in 2011, a 5.1% increase from the previous year. This total is expected to reach $1.5 trillion by 2020 due to population growth and an aging population. However, the pharmaceutical industry faces issues such as losing $148 billion annually from 2012-2018 due to drugs going off patent and rising research and development costs of $800 million to $4 billion to bring a new drug to market. The Indian pharmaceutical industry has grown substantially over the past few decades but faces threats from increasing regulation and low-cost competition from other countries.

This document discusses the concept of "megafunds" to help fund research and development for rare diseases. It notes that current sources of funding like venture capital and philanthropic venture capital are not enough to develop treatments for the over 7,000 known rare diseases. It proposes creating large pooled investment funds or "megafunds" that would attract funding from institutional investors by issuing bonds or debt backed by the intellectual property of a portfolio of drug development programs. This could open access to a larger pool of capital to fund more rare disease research more efficiently and at a reduced risk level through diversification. It provides examples of past proposals and discussions around this concept as a potential new model to help bridge the "valley of death"
The document provides an analysis of the healthcare sector. It discusses the industries that make up the sector, including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, health insurers, hospitals, and more. It analyzes the sector's performance, valuation metrics, macroeconomic factors like government spending and regulation, and demographic trends. Several investment firms are cited that believe the sector will continue growing due to an aging population but also face volatility due to the election and drug pricing debates. Biotech companies are seen as particularly promising for outperformance.
3rd annual pharmaceutical leadership summit 2014 white paper Indian Affairs
It is widely believed that the consolidations in the Indian pharma sector is likely to continue, particularly among generic drug players and will drive shareholder value going forward.India-based pharmaceutical companies have majorly been absent from much of the recent M&A activities, partly because of their healthy growth outlooks. The global pharmaceutical industry will continue to undergo a pace of rapid consolidation to drive shareholder value; particularly in the case of companies seeking new growth platforms, against the backdrop of patent expirations.With many drugs going off patent in the US, Indian pharma companies would continue to experience strong growth in American market, indian pharma companies would continue to experience strong growth in the US over the medium-term. This would be driven by the sizable generic opportunity (drugs with brand value of $25-30 billion are expected to face generic competition) over the next 2-3 years. As one of the recently industrialized nations, India has a fast-growing economy as well as an ever-expanding, ever-urbanized population, however its healthcare system still has a lot of potential for development. To Western readers, analyzing a healthcare system in the East seems daunting. It takes some of us decades to master an understanding of the healthcare system of our origin country. Nevertheless, there are several methods to approaching another country’s system. These include the exposition of some invariant principles that apply across various contexts, the application of existing frameworks for healthcare system analysis, appraisal of the major transitions underway in the country, and an analysis of the country’s public health issues. India faces challenges in pursuing each of these goals. With regards to cost, at least 70% of all healthcare is frequently financed out-of-pocket by the population. There is little health insurance or other forms of risk pooling, little regulation and accountability of providers, and a predominance of fee-for-service payment, all of which are associated with high costs. There is also questionable efficiency of much of the state healthcare system, and a great distrust of the public sector. Against the backdrop of the above challenges, Pharmaleaders has lined up top industry experts, Pharma Academia, Ministry Officials, Government Representative, Policy Makers & Medical Professionals under one platform both in india & abroad to debate & deliberate the complex issues of the industry & give a meaningful discussion on the Brand India & Make In India concept. More than 300 professionals will be participating the mega event where professionals from Middle East, Africa, Europe, Lation America will also be attending.The historic 7th Annual Pharmaceutical Leadership Summit & Business Leadership Awards 2014 to be held in a uniquely positioned full day program encompassing two themes “Make In India – Healthcare Reforms , Insurance,Innovations,Investments & Infrastructur
The document discusses the Indian pharmaceutical industry and the market for generic drugs. It provides background on key policies that promoted the growth of the Indian generic drug industry, including the Patent Act of 1970. It outlines the strengths and weaknesses of the Indian pharmaceutical industry. It also discusses the significant role of the Indian pharmaceutical industry in supplying generic drugs globally, particularly to regulated markets like the US. The industry is expected to continue growing and shifting to focus more on R&D and manufacturing of value-added drugs.

6. Impact on Pharmaceuticals/Biotechnology Pharmaceuticals/Biotechnology Definition Pharmaceuticals/Biotechnology Sales Trends Emerging Markets Textual Evidence of the Impact Additional Thoughts Summary & Conclusions
7. Pharmaceuticals/Biotechnology Definition The Pharmaceutical and Medicine Manufacturing industry falls under the NAICS code of 3254 which includes sub-codes of: 32541 Pharmaceutical and Medicine Manufacturing 325412 Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing 325413 In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing 325414 Biological Product (except Diagnostic) Manufacturing Overall, this industry primarily comprises companies that are engaged in one or more of the following: manufacturing biological and medicinal products; processing (i.e., grading, grinding, and milling) botanical drugs and herbs; isolating active medicinal principals from botanical drugs and herbs; and manufacturing pharmaceutical products intended for internal and external consumption in such forms as ampoules, tablets, capsules, vials, ointments, powders, solutions, and suspensions.
8. Pharmaceuticals/Biotechnology Sales Trends The total US domestic drug sales were approximately $235.4 billion USD in 2007 and worldwide sales are estimated at around $568 billion USD (possibly rising to $800 billion by 2020). The biggest pharmaceutical companies have traditionally had good growth and profits (10.8% in revenues and 10.4% in profits- Fortune 2008). In addition, they are cash-rich (the top 20 companies have access to $ 7.5 billion in cash, equivalents and short-term investments) and relatively debt-free. They have had a good run for the past few decades and have good cash reserves (top 20 companies- the average net debt, as a percentage of capital employed is just 6%) should ride out the current recessionary trends.
9. Emerging Markets The growth of the pharmaceutical market in emerging markets is impressive (a 14.7% increase over the 2005-06 period) and substantially greater than found in the developed markets of the EU and US. Emerging markets offer access to sizeable patient populations and the added bonus of medical tourism patients from developed countries as well. There are still some significant barriers that continue to exist in these markets (such as IP protections as mentioned above) but the overall potential is definitely there.
10. Textual Evidence - Asia In India, the impact of the pharmaceutical industry is everywhere to be found. India has over 20,000 scientists engaged in the biotech sector, the highest number of FDA approvals worldwide outside of the US World-class facilities for manufacturing generics that comply with international harmonized standards such as Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP), and Good Clinical Practices (GCP). Ernst & Young, has projected a robust growth for biotech, pharmaceutical and healthcare service sectors for the coming years- “the country was on the threshold of strong growth partially driven by the surge in medical tourism”. Other Asian countries like Thailand and Singapore and Malaysia are offering competition These countries were reportedly, altogether attracting 10 times more medical tourists from abroad than India. In Malaysia, Frost & Sullivan, reported that one of the key drivers that will boost their pharmaceutical industry is the country’s medical tourism. As more foreign patients will seek treatment here, and this will ultimately drive demand up for pharmaceutical products.
11. Textual Evidence – Middle East In the Middle East, it was reported that the kingdom of Jordon was also looking to boost medical tourism by developing innovative products through a burgeoning pharmaceutical industry. Jordan’s pharmaceutical industry is relatively small with a value of $160 million USD, but they have an advantage of being a supporter IP rights and the FTA. This has helped stimulate a vigorous environment for clinical trials in the country. This overall market could be increased if a Kuwaiti-Jordan consortium, in a $3 to 5 billion USD medical city near Amman that is focused on medical tourism, is completed by 2012. Abu Dhabi is trying to develop other areas of its economy to sustain its long-term growth (Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030). Oil and gas exports accounted for 74% of all Abu Dhabi’s revenues between 2000 and 2005 and they want to decrease the proportion of revenues derived from petrochemicals to about 50%. To achieve the diversification they want, the Government plans to focus on developing the pharmaceutical and medical tourism industries. Abu Dhabi has a goal of becoming a thriving research and development center by attracting investment, strengthening IP rights and formulating a drug-testing system.
12. Textual Evidence – Latin America In Latin America, US patients have been quietly going to Mexico for years to take advantage of cheaper prices. In 2005 Mexico's pharmaceutical market was valued at $7 billion, much bigger than India’s market, and was growing at 10% pace. An older report (1999) by the AEI found that prices in the US are on average about 72 percent higher than in Canada and almost 102 percent higher than in Mexico. In Mexico, for pharmaceutical products in the private sector have been increasing about 5% per year since 2002 and sales are expected to rise as medical tourism continues to grow. A 2007 AT Kearney report suggests Latin America will be a popular near-sourcing location. Brazil and Chile are mentioned as having strengths in pharmaceuticals and biopharma
13. Additional Thoughts Medical Tourism May Provide Pharmaceutical Companies from Developed Countries with Leverage in Intellectual Property (IP) Disputes with Foreign Countries (Williams and Seus, 2007) US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), some 1,000 names are filed in Class 5 (the international trademark classification for pharmaceuticals) According to the Economist (2005), as much as three-quarters of the value of publicly traded companies in America comes from intangible assets (such as patents on drug formulas) Countries that are counting on medical tourism to help drive economic growth will have more incentives to respect IP regulations in order to be able to offer well-known, name brand drugs to prospective medical tourists
14. Summary & Conclusions Medical tourism may impact the pharmaceutical industry in several ways: The amount of money spent on promotion (approximately 24.4% in 2004) versus R&D (13.4% for the same period) MT’s impact on pharmaceutical sales in terms of percentage of revenue and logistics will be significant Pricing, distribution, and IP rights which will become even more important as the market grows Increased pressure on the drug companies and countries to have safe, secure, logical, free-market options to manufacture and distribute pharmaceuticals as close as possible to these medical tourists (should continue to drive the investment in pharmaceutical manufacturing to these developing countries)
