Pharmaceutical industries

INTRODUCTION

Health is defined both as cause and effect of economic development. Therefore, the pharmaceutical industry is specifically recognized in the UN Millennium Development Goals as an actor that can contribute to economic development. In addition, the pharmaceutical industry provides significant socio-economic benefits to the society through creation of jobs, supply chains, and through

Page 6: Dr Reddy Pharmaceuticals

community development.The industry also plays an important role in technological innovation, which may reduce costs of economic activity elsewhere in the economy.

Players in the pharmaceutical industry include: branded drug manufacturers, generic drug manufacturers, firms developing biopharmaceutical products, nonprescription drug anufacturers, firms undertaking contract research. In addition, there are also enablers of the industry such as universities, hospitals and research centers that play a role in R&D activities.

INDIAN PHARMA INDUSTRY

The Indian pharmaceutical industry is the world's second-largest by volume and is likely to lead the manufacturing sector of India. The first pharmaceutical company are Bengal Chemicals and Pharmaceutical Works, which still exists today as one of 5 government-owned drug manufacturers, appeared in Calcutta in 1930. Playing a key role in promoting and sustaining development in the vital field of medicines.

Indian Pharma Industry boasts of quality producers and many units approved by regulatory authorities in USA and UK. International companies associated with this sector have stimulated, assisted and spearheaded this dynamic development in the past 53 years and helped to put India on the pharmaceutical map of the world.

The Indian Pharmaceutical sector is highly fragmented with more than 20,000 registered units with severe price competition and government price control. It has expanded drastically in the last two decades.

There are about 250 large units that control 70 per cent of the market with market leader holding nearly 7 per cent of the market share and about 8000 Small Scale Units together which form the core of the pharmaceutical industry in India (including 5 Central Public Sector Units). These units produce the complete range of pharmaceutical formulations, i.e., medicines ready for consumption by patients and about 350 bulk drugs, i.e., chemicals having therapeutic value and used for production of pharmaceutical formulations. The total Indian production constitutes about 13 per cent of the world market in value terms and, 8 per cent in volume terms. The per capita consumption of drugs in India, stands at US$3, is amongst the lowest in the world, as compared to Japan- US$412, Germany- US$222 and USA- US$191.

EVOLUTION OF INDIAN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

The Indian pharmaceutical industry has come a long way since the time of independence when multinational corporations dominated the industry Over the years, under a favourable policy regime, the industry has grown phenomenally and has established itself as a major supplier of not only generic products but also new formulations. The industry, in addition to meeting domestic demand, is in a position to export significant volume of pharmaceutical products to various destinations,including the developed markets of USA, EU and Japan.

Evolution of Indian pharmaceutical industry can be classified into the following three periods:

Pre-1970s: During this period, the size of Indian pharmaceutical industry was small, both in terms of number of firms and volume of production. MNCs dominated the market, both in terms of volume of production and patent holdings, in India. The patent regime, based on Indian Patents and Designs Act, 1911, recognized both product and process patents. Due to monopoly status enjoyed by the MNCs, drug prices remained high during this period.

1970 – 1995: Government of India introduced a new Patent Act, which came into effect in 1972, recognizing only process patent and not product patent. The Act enabled Indian firms to use ‘reverse engineering process’, to manufacture drugs, without paying royalty to the original patent holder. The

Page 7: Dr Reddy Pharmaceuticals

Act, along with Drug Price Control. Order, provided little incentive for MNCs to introduce new pharmaceutical products in India. During this period, the number of domestic pharmaceutical firms increased considerably, from around 2000 units in 1970 to 24,000 units in1995.

1995 onwards: The year 1995 recorded another milestone for the Indian pharmaceutical industry. One of the Agreements under the World Trade Organisation was complying with the Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) provisions. The TRIPS Agreement reintroduced product patent in India. Further, during this period, tariff and non-tariff measures have come down. Such developments have worked in favour of Indian pharmaceutical industry to undertake activities such as clinical research and new drug development. Indigenous producers dominated the market accounting for more than 70% of the market share. Exportsalso continued to increase during this period, due to strong R&D process and low manufacturing cost.

SUCCESS STRATEGIES OF INDIAN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

“The Indian pharmaceutical industry is a success story providing employment for millions and ensuring that essential drugs at affordable prices are available to the vast population of this sub-continent.”

Richard Gerster

Indian pharmaceutical industry, utilizing the policy environment prevailing over the years, adopted various strategies to surge as a global player. These include:

Increasing R&D Activities:Since the formation of WTO and signing of TRIPS Agreement, Indian pharmaceutical industry is increasingly becoming innovative rather than imitative. The players are changing their R&D strategy from ‘reverse engineering’ to ‘patent driven’. R&D expenditure as a percentage of sales, which stood at around 2% in 1993-94, increased to around 5% in 2005-06.

Increasing Filings with USFDA:With an increase in R&D spending, Indian companies could file large number of Drug Master Files and Abbreviated New Drug Application) with US-FDA. According to Organization of Pharmaceutical Producers of India, India accounted for largest number of Drug Master Files with US-FDA.

Public-Private Partnership in R&D:Many Indian pharmaceutical firms, in addition to undertaking in-house R&D activities, are collaborating with research laboratories such as Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI), Lucknow; Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT), Hyderabad; and Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Hyderabad.

Leveraging Biotechnology:

Page 8: Dr Reddy Pharmaceuticals

Biotechnology is one of the areas that are showing promising future. Biotechnology drugs represent a significant part of the new innovative medicines launched worldwide. Bio-pharmaceuticals account for more than 10% of global pharmaceutical sales. Many Indian pharmaceutical firms are leveraging the potential of biotechnology including manufacture of biogenerics.

Diversification of Markets:Over the years, Indian pharmaceutical firms have been successful in exporting pharmaceutical products to traditional as also new destinations.

Contract Research:Given the pressing need of global pharmaceutical industry to develop new drugs, major pharmaceutical producers across the globe are looking out for sourcing R&D activities. Indian companies are undertaking contract research (including drug discovery, preclinical and clinical research) for global pharmaceutical majors leveraging the prevailing advantages such as:

Already well-developed pharmaceutical manufacturing base;Low R&D cost; Availability of highly qualified man-power; Large patient pool for clinical trials.

Contract Manufacturing:New start-up companies are increasingly getting international exposure through the contract manufacturing (of patented drugs, custom synthesis and scale-ups, specialized generics and old molecules) route. It is estimated that about 50% of global bulk drugs / API manufacturing and around 15% of formulations manufacturing are outsourced to low cost destinations.

Co-Marketing Alliances:Another growth strategy adopted by Indian firms is entering into comarketing alliances with foreign firms to market their products. Such alliances are proven to be beneficial to both the parties.

Strengthening R&D:It is important for Indian pharmaceutical industry to scale up their R&D intensity to strengthen their position in the global market place.

Safety and Quality: Menace of Spurious drugs:Ensuring safety and quality of pharmaceutical products is another major concern, especially in the context of alleged prevalence of spurious drugs

Pricing strategies:it is crucial to consider optimal pricing strategies while determining the viability of launching a drug.The need for viable pricing strategies also increases in an era of rising R&D costs.

Skill Development:

Page 9: Dr Reddy Pharmaceuticals

Pharmaceutical industry is highly R&D intensive. In order to remain globally competitive the industry requires pool of highly skilled manpower. India has already made its mark in scientific research in the world with large pool of scientific man-power.

Domestic DemandThe industry has enormous growth potential. Factors listed below determine the rising demand for pharmaceuticals.• The growing population of over of a billion• Increasing income• Demand for quality healthcare service• Changing lifestyle has led to change in disease patterns, and increased demand for new medicines to combat lifestyle related diseases.

ExportsOver 60 per cent of India’s bulk drug production is exported. Domestic pharmaceutical exports, growing at 30 % per annum, touched a new height of US$4.8 billion in the financial year 2006-07. The export revenue now contributes almost half of the total revenue for the top three pharmaceutical majors: Dr Reddy’s, Ranbaxy and Cipla..

Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd. (BSE: 500124, NYSE: RDY) founded in 1984 by Dr. K. Anji Reddy, has become India's second biggest pharmaceutical company. Dr. Anji Reddy had worked in the publicly-owned Indian Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Reddy's manufactures and markets a wide range of pharmaceuticals in India and overseas. The company has over 190 medications, 60 active pharmaceutical ingredients for drug manufacture, diagnostic kits, critical care, and biotechnology products.

Dr. Reddy's began as a supplier to Indian drug manufacturers, but it soon started exporting to other less-regulated markets that had the advantage of not having to spend time and money on a manufacturing plant that that would gain approval from a drug licensing body such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). By the early 1990s, the expanded scale and profitability from these unregulated markets enabled the company to begin focusing on getting approval from drug regulators for their formulations and bulk drug manufacturing plants in more-developed economies. This allowed their movement into regulated markets such as the US and Europe.

By 2007, Dr. Reddy's had six FDA-plants producing active pharmaceutical ingredients in India and seven FDA-inspected and ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environmental management) certified plants making patient-ready medications – five of them in India and two in the UK.

In 2010, the family-controlled Dr Reddys denied that it was in talks to sell its generics business in India to US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, which had been suing the company for alleged patent infringement after Dr Reddys announced that it intended to produce a generic version of Atorvastatin, marketed by Pfizer as Lipitor, an anti-cholesterol medication. Reddys was already linked to UK pharmaceuticals multinational Glaxo Smithkline.

Page 16: Dr Reddy Pharmaceuticals

needs through innovation. Our business, by its very nature, serves a social good, so we have a far deeper reason than profits alone to drive our performance.

For us, building a sustainable organization is not a trend we blindly follow; it is intrinsic to how we have operated for decades. To us, a commitment to sustainability means a commitment to fulfilling our obligations to all of our stakeholders -- our customers & partners, employees, shareholders and society. Thus, while optimizing profitability may be one measurement of our performance, we also judge our success by our performance with regard to the communities in which we live and work, the environment and our employees. We understand that it is only by increasing value to all of these stakeholders that we can build an ever flourishing and lasting organization.

While sustainability thinking was always woven into the fabric of our organization, we formally declared our intent to institutionalize it in 2004, when we first began to publicly report on our sustainability practices.  We annually publish our Sustainability Report with direction from the guidelines recommended by Global Report Initiative G3, covering social, ethical, economic, safety and environmental aspects of our business.
