The Indian Pharmaceutical Industry – Prescription for growth

The Indian Pharmaceutical Industry (IPI), estimated at US$ 9 bn, has grown at a CAGR of 7% during the last six years. It is ranked 4th in volume terms and 11th in value terms globally. India’s share in the global pharmaceutical market is less than 2% in value terms as drug prices in India 

are one of the lowest in the world.

Exports contributed to more than half of IPI’s turnover during 2005-06 and have been a major growth driver for the industry growing at a CAGR of 19% during the last six years.

The playing field for the domestic pharmaceutical companies changed completely with the advent of product patent regime from January 2005. The IPI is now exposed to a host of new opportunities and risks. This has led the domestic pharmaceutical companies to pursue various strategies on the business and R&D front with the aim of achieving long-term sustainable growth under the new regulatory regime. Besides changes in the patent laws, the issues with respect to drug pricing and the Union Pharmaceutical policy will shape the regulatory environment for the industry in future.The changing dynamics of the global pharmaceutical industry especially that of the regulated markets like USA and Europe have presented a number of opportunities for IPI to capitalize on. Some of the major concerns facing the global pharmaceutical industry are higher healthcare costs, competition from generics, patent expiries of blockbuster drugs, drying R&D pipelines and increasing R&D costs. These translate into a significant growth opportunity for IPI in the form of exports of generics to regulated markets and contract manufacturing/ research for global pharmaceutical companies.

Indian Pharmaceutical Market, 2006-2011

The Indian pharmaceutical market is the 15th largest individual market by sales, but the 4th by volume of product. With domestic drug sales of almost $5 billion, Indian companies have also developed a considerable service industry for the global pharmaceutical market. However the Indian pharmaceutical market looks set for considerable change.

For many years the Indian pharmaceutical market has been seen as a no go area for the R&D based MNCs. The market became dominated by copied generic drugs produced at low-cost by Indian companies. One full year after the introduction of the WTO TRIPS and in the midst of the practical implications of ensuring compliance with product patents, how is the Indian pharmaceutical industry facing up to new regulations to its market?

Indian pharmaceutical companies are able to provide FDA approved facilities for the complete range of services for drug development. R&D services, API sourcing, finished formulation manufacture and clinical trials can all be completed in India, at less cost than in many developed markets. The leading Indian pharmaceutical companies are also beginning to increase market presence and market share in the US and EU markets.

Pivotal period of change

The Indian pharmaceutical market is entering a pivotal period of change. Although it is unlikely to see significant growth before 2011, It expects extensive company activity as the leading Indian pharmaceutical companies strive towards international competitiveness. Global pharmaceutical companies have already begun to take advantage of the changing regulatory and economic conditions in India. The following five years will see further merger and acquisition activity, including key overseas acquisitions.

World Cement

World Cement & Concrete Additives industry forecasts to 2010 & 2015

Global demand to rise 5.1% annually through 2010
World demand for cement and concrete additives is forecast to rise 5.1 percent per year through 2010 to over $11 billion, an improvement over the performance of the 1995-2005 period. Gains will be fueled by the increased acceptance of additives in high-volume developing markets for cement, such as China, India, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. In more mature markets, rising performance requirements for concrete will prompt greater loading factors for additives and the use of higher-value products such as superplasticizers.

Mineral additives to be fastest growing type
Demand for mineral additives will grow at the fastest pace, fueled by increased utilization of blast furnace slag and fly ash as partial replacements for portland cement. Environmental benefits will be the driving factor, as the use of mineral additives provides a beneficial application for waste materials as well as reducing the energy and emissions required to produce cement. Gains for chemical and fiber additives will benefit from penetration into new markets in the developing world, as the concrete industries in these countries become more aware of the benefits of additive use.

North America, Asia to pace gains among major regions
Among the three major world regions, demand for cement and concrete additives in North America will advance at the quickest pace. The US will be one of the fastest-growing markets for additives, driven by an increased focus on production of more durable concrete and utilization of mineral waste products. Demand in the Asia/Pacific region will also rise at an above-average rate, with large, fast-growing cement markets such as China and India leading gains. However, in Japan — the world’s second largest additive market — growth will be restrained by market maturity and weak demand for cement.

Demand for additives in Western Europe, the largest regional market, will post below-average gains through 2010. The use of both chemical and mineral additives is already widespread in the region, restricting prospects for growth. Gains in other world regions — such as Latin America, Eastern Europe and Africa/Mideast — will outpace the global average.

Additive demand in Eastern Europe will advance the fastest, fueled by increased utilization of abundant slag and fly ash
waste materials and incorporation of Western European trends of additive use in concrete construction.

Study coverage
This new industry study, World Cement & Concrete Additives, is priced at $5400. It presents historical demand data for 1995, 2000 and 2005 and forecasts to 2010 and 2015 by additive type, market, world region and for 29 major countries. The study also considers market environment trends and indicators, evaluates company market share and profiles 34 leading industry competitors including BASF, Grace, Holcim, Lafarge, Propex Fabrics and Sika.

PDF Format : Cement Industry

 08

The Cement industry has continued its growth trajectory over the past seven years. Domestic cement demand growth has surpassed the economic growth rate of the country for the past couple of years. Over the past five years (FY03-07), cement demand has grown at a CAGR of 8.37% higher than the CAGR of supply at 4.84%. Demand for cement in the country is expected to continue its buoyant ride on the back of

robust economic growth and infrastructure development in the country.

The key drivers for cement demand are real estate sector, infrastructure projects and industrial expansion projects. Among these, real estate sector is the key driver and accounted for almost 55% of cement demand in FY 07.

During the period FY 03 – 07, capacity additions in the country (30.6 mn tonnes) were at a slower rate compared to demand growth leading to higher average capacity utilization rates from 81.3% in FY 03 to 93.8% in FY 07. This exerted pressure on average prices which have increased from Rs. 156 per bag in FY 03 to Rs. 216 per bag in FY 07. In December 2007, prices stood at Rs. 245 - Rs. 250 per bag.

Low capacity addition coupled with higher utilization rate also led to increase in proportion of blended cements in product mix. Blended cement accounted for 68% of product mix in FY 07 as compared to 49% in FY 03.

Cement is a bulky commodity and cannot be easily transported over long distances making it a regional market place, with the nation being divided into five regions. Each region is characterised by its own demand-supply dynamics. The Southern region dominated the cement consumption at 44.5 mn tonnes in FY 07, accounting for about 30% of total domestic cement consumption. During FY 03-07, Southern region

has witnessed highest CAGR of cement demand at 10.4% followed by Northern and Eastern regions at 8.9% and 9%, respectively.

Over the past five years, cost of cement production has grown at a CAGR of 8.4%. The producers have been able to pass on the hike in cost to consumers on the back of increased demand. Average realizations have increased from Rs. 1,880 per tonne in FY 03 to Rs. 3,133 per tonne in FY 07, at a CAGR of 13.6%, which has resulted in higher profit margins of the industry.

To reduce the cost of production, the industry is increasing its focus on captive power generation. Proportion of cement production through captive power route has increased over the years. Also, cement movement by rail has increased over the years.
