The number of purely Indian pharma companies is fairly less. Indian pharma industry is mainly
operated as well as controlled by dominant foreign companies having subsidiaries in India due to
availability of cheap labor in India at lowest cost.
In 2002, over 20,000 registered drug manufacturers in India sold $9 billion worth of formulations
and bulk drugs. 85% of these formulations were sold in India while over 60% of the bulk drugs
were exported, mostly to the United States and Russia. Most of the players in the market are smallto-medium enterprises; 250 of the largest companies control 70% of the Indian market. Thanks to
the 1970 Patent Act, multinationals represent only 35% of the market, down from 70% thirty years
ago.
In terms of the global market, India currently holds a modest 12% share, but it has been growing at
approximately 10% per year. India gained its foothold on the global scene with its innovatively
engineered generic drugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API).
There are 74 US FDA-approved manufacturing facilities in India, more than in any other country
outside the U.S, and in 2005, almost 20% of all Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDA) to the
FDA are expected to be filed by Indian companies. Growth in other fields notwithstanding, generics
are still a large part of the picture. London research company Global Insight estimates that Indias
share of the global generics market will have risen from 4% to 33% by 2007.
