Pharmaceutical market landscape has undergone a massive transformation with the emergence of cost-effective, and more efficient manufacturing approaches. The advent of new technologies is opening new avenues of growth by giving a boost to innovation in the industry today. In addition, increasing investment flow in this space has impacted the market growth positively. Another rising health concern is increasing lifestyle disorders, which are making preventive therapies like immune boosters and nutraceuticals the order of the day. This segment is rapidly increasing the demand for robust probiotics and nutraceuticals as they play a critical role in immunity building.
As a result, the pharma industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10 to 12 percent and start-ups will be driving the major part of this growth, providing the much-needed employment opportunities. Start-ups also have a major role to play in meeting the increasing healthcare needs of growing population, hospitals and medical practitioners. Pharma start-ups are also helping to take modern medicines to large Indian population across geographies where big pharma companies are not focussing.
The challenging area for the start-ups in the Indian Pharma market is to provide quality medicines. Unfortunately, there are a lot of mushroom companies manufacturing and marketing products where the quality is a big question mark. Doctors always prescribe quality medicines and it has become very difficult for a doctor to judge the quality of medicines promoted by new upcoming start-ups. A competent player who can offer quality product with cost-effectiveness is the need of the market.
