Research Report on Southeast Asia Pharmaceutical Industry 2023-2032
With the rapid economic growth in Southeast Asia, the improvement of residents' living standards, the rise of the middle class, the aging of the population and the burden of non-communicable diseases, the demand for pharmaceutical consumption and medical and health expenditure in Southeast Asian countries are expanding. According to CRI 's analysis, the Southeast Asian pharmaceutical market has great potential for development.
Singapore has become the first stop for global pharmaceutical companies to enter Southeast Asia due to its comprehensive laws and regulations, mature regulatory system, and strong government support for the biopharmaceutical industry. Multinational companies such as AbbVie, Novartis, Pfizer, Roche, Sanofi and Abbott have built their production bases in Singapore to promote the development of the pharmaceutical industry in Southeast Asia.
Southeast Asia in this report includes 10 countries: Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Brunei, Laos and Cambodia. With a total population of over 600 million by the end of 2021, Southeast Asia has an overall economic growth rate higher than the global average and is one of the key drivers of future global economic growth.
According to CRI's analysis, the economic levels of the 10 Southeast Asian countries vary greatly, with Singapore being the only developed country with a per capita GDP of about US$73,000 in 2021. While Myanmar and Cambodia will have a GDP per capita of less than US$2,000 in 2021. The population and minimum wage levels of each country also vary greatly. Brunei, which has the smallest population, will have a total population of less than 500,000 people in 2021, while Indonesia, which has the largest population, will have a population of about 275 million people in 2021.
CRI expects that the pharmaceutical industry in Southeast Asia will maintain growth from 2023-2032. On the one hand, the Southeast Asian pharmaceutical market has a lot of room for development and will attract more investment capital. On the other hand, Southeast Asian governments support the development of the pharmaceutical industry and have signed a number of free trade agreements to provide support for pharmaceutical companies to expand their export markets and develop distribution networks, promoting the development of the Southeast Asian pharmaceutical industry.
