With the global market for this product valued at $ 300 million, we see promising growth potential in this expansion.
Why are Chemical Companies entering into Pharma?
Several strong considerations are driving chemical companies to invest in India’s pharmaceutical business. For example, the phenomenal growth experienced in the Indian chemical sector outperforms broader market indexes and is expected to continue, creating an appealing investment environment. Second, the increase in domestic demand, together with India’s expected contribution to global chemical consumption, creates a profitable market potential. Third, increasing worldwide consumer demands for eco-friendly products may benefit India, given its considerable chemical production capability.
Furthermore, in the face of changing geopolitical dynamics and the necessity for resilient supply chains, companies are looking to diversify manufacturing areas, which adds to India’s appeal. The rising pharmaceutical industry in India, driven by population growth and economic prosperity, has significant growth potential, particularly for pharmaceuticals that treat chronic conditions. India’s proven manufacturing capabilities, notably in generics and vaccines, position it as a major participant in the global pharmaceutical industry. Furthermore, advancements in the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) environment increase the appeal of the Indian market to global pharmaceutical producers. These converging characteristics not only make India an appealing market for pharmaceutical expansion, but also present considerable opportunity for chemical businesses to diversify their operations successfully.
