As the much respected generics market in India has reached its potential, the show provides an ideal platform for pharma professionals to also ramp up the ancillary section of the industry to keep abreast with innovations in the growing businesses of the global pharma sector. Apart from Pharma ingredients, increasingly, companies are looking at sub sectors such as Analytical & Bio Tech, Lab equipments & Lab Chemicals, Pharma Machinery and Packaging with significant success. At PharmaLytica, every participant gets an opportunity to pick up on the latest industry trends and innovations as well as network with the Pharma business community offering each other a value proposition.”

“Given our growing and unparalleled offering in the Pharma domain, we are pleased to move PharmaLytica to Mumbai to add immense value to the strong Western market in addition to the Southern one. Meanwhile, with our rich legacy of knowledge sharing in the South, I am also pleased to announce the separate launch of PharmaLytica Confex on August 8-9 in Hyderabad,” he further added.

India enjoys an important position in the global pharmaceuticals sector and the largest provider of generic drugs globally. The country’s pharmaceutical industry is expected to expand at a CAGR of 22.4 per cent over 2015-20 to reach US$ 55 billion. India’s pharmaceutical exports stood at US$ 17.27 billion in FY18 and have reached US$ 15.52 billion in FY19 (up to January 2019).

The various economic drivers and government policies like pharma parks, allowing 100 per cent FDI, boosting the biosimilars and biologics sector, along with ancillary sectors, and reducing manufacturing costs are the key driving factors for the growth of the sector in the country. The ‘Pharma Vision 2020’, introduced to make India a global leader in end-to-end drug manufacturing, has also boosted investments.- Business Standard
