Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Market in Pakistan

Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Market in Pakistan

The pharmaceutical industry in Pakistan is growing at a rapid pace, contributing significantly to the national economy. In the last couple of years, the Pakistani economy has been suffering due to bad economic conditions and also been under strain due to the war against terrorism. The economy is also facing the problem of domestic inflation, slow economic growth, as well as the devaluation of the Pakistani rupee against other major currencies.

Pakistani pharmaceutical and healthcare industries are very competitive and challenging. There are nearly 600 pharmaceutical companies operating in Pakistan, with major global leaders having a presence in the country. The industry presents a lot of growth opportunities for drug makers, with the opportunities being driven by the rising burden of chronic disease and launch of the Pakistani national health insurance program.

However, there are many challenges that the industry faces, with regulatory and pricing challenges being at the top of the list. With the government's focus on boosting the pharmaceutical and healthcare market, the industry is poised for good growth, with many opportunities present for drawing in foreign investment.
