Executive Summary
INDIAN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY
Emerging Economies Offer Attractive Growth Opportunities Industry Update September 2015
ICRA RESEARCH SERVICES
ICRA RATING FEATURE Generic opportunities outweigh challenges emanating across emerging markets
With approximately 20% contribution to revenues of leading pharmaceutical companies, Emerging markets have
evolved to become an important market segment for Indian pharmaceutical industry. Although United States remains
the key growth driver, pharma companies have steadily expanded their presence across some of the key emerging
markets. Supported by acquisitions, geographic expansion and steadily expanding product portfolio, the top-10
pharma companies from India have achieved a CAGR of 21% in revenues from emerging markets over the past five
years (i.e. FY 2011-15).
Driven by improving affordability levels, government’s commitment to expanding healthcare access and rising
prevalence of lifestyle related disorders, the spending on pharmaceutical products in these markets is estimated to
touch almost to ~US$350-390 billion by 2019 according to IMS1. Much of this growth is likely to benefit the generic
segment which would gain traction on back of government-supported programs and cost competitiveness in markets,
which rely heavily on out-of-pocket spending for healthcare.
While the growth prospects in emerging markets remain undisputed, pharma companies also face their fair share of
challenges. Frequent regulatory changes, government’s intervention in drug pricing (to contain healthcare costs) and
efforts to promote usage of un-branded generics are some of the common themes influencing industry prospects. In
some countries, the regulatory framework has also evolved to favour local industry by implementing measures like
higher import duties, creating price differentiation and incentives to invest in manufacturing facilities, locally.
The impact of weakening macro-economic environment and political instability across some countries has further
added to set of challenges, which has got accentuated by the sharp correction in crude oil prices and its adverse
impact on exchange rates of some of the oil-dependent economies like Russia and Venezuela. The recent downgrade
for Brazil is also negative from the perspective of foreign exchange scenario. These trends are likely to impact margins
of companies in the near-term given the intensity of currency de-valuation and limited ability to implement price
hikes.
The competitive intensity in emerging markets is also on the rise. While on one hand, local players are moving up the
ladder in terms of R&D skills, MNC pharma companies are also increasing their focus on emerging markets in view of
single digit growth expectations in mature markets. Besides access to portfolio of innovator drugs, their presence in
emerging markets is also characterized by well established marketing network, a factor that is critical for developing a
branded generics business. 1 IMS Health is a leading global information and technology services company engaged in providing solutions in healthcare industry

Executive Summary
Despite challenges, Indian pharma companies would however continue to benefit from the growth opportunities that
emerging markets offer. With cost competitive manufacturing capabilities and many of the characteristics (i.e. high out-
of-pocket expenditure on healthcare and preference for branded generics) similar to the Indian market, Indian firms
remain in an advantageous position. Additionally, their relatively low market share also provides scope for market
traction going forward.
In the following report, we have presented an update on key emerging markets of Brazil, Russia, and South Africa along
with an update on Japan’s generic drug industry, which is going through another phase of government-led mandate to
increase generic penetration. With several key drugs also expected to lose patent protection over the near-term, the
pro-generic reforms provide adequate opportunities for generic drug manufacturers. At present, Indian companies
have relatively limited presence in Japan given the stringent regulatory framework. However, we expect them to
increase their focus going forward.
The report concludes with likely strategies that Indian companies would pursue in emerging markets. In our view,
acquisitions will play an important role given the long gestation period involved in establishing branded generics
business. To address competitive pressures, companies would also shift their focus towards niche therapy areas,
biosimilars and segments like OTC that offer greater pricing power. As regulatory framework in some markets supports
local manufacturing presence, we expect Indian companies to invest in Greenfield facilities as well in select markets.

Emerging Markets: Growth drivers & market potential
Key Pharmaceutical Markets
Economic development and efforts to improve healthcare access are likely to drive growth As per IMS, the spending on pharmaceutical products in emerging markets is estimated to almost double to ~US$350-390
billion by 2019 aided by improving affordability and government's commitment to expanding healthcare access. Despite some
of the key emerging markets currently going through a phase of slowing economic growth, pharmaceutical products in these
markets are expected to grow at a faster pace vis-à-vis developed markets given the relatively low spending on healthcare and
enhancement in public healthcare provisions. The growth in emerging markets is also expected to be driven by increasing
prevalence of lifestyle related health disorders. The generics segment is likely to be the key beneficiary in emerging markets as it
is expected to gain traction on back of government-supported programs and higher affordability especially in markets, which
depend to a great extent on out-of-pocket on healthcare spending.

Emerging Markets: Snapshot of Key Markets
Abundant opportunities exist across markets… In the following exhibit, we have presented a comparative profile of some of the key emerging markets where Indian companies
currently have presence or have plans to expand their focus given the favorable growth prospects. While markets differ in terms
of growth potential and the extent of regulatory developments, some of key characteristics such as a) high out-of-pocket
spending on healthcare, b) greater usage of branded generics, c) physicians influence on buying decision and d) greater focus by
governments to enhance healthcare programs are common across most of the markets.

Trend across Key Emerging Markets
Key Trends in Russia & Brazil
Russia: Sharp currency depreciation impacted performance of Pharma Companies During CY 2014, the Russian Pharmaceutical market slowdown considerably on account of price controls and slowdown in
the overall economy that is heavily dependent on the Oil & Gas Industry. According to IMS Data, market grew by a
marginal 1% in volume terms, one of the lowest in recent years. However, in value terms, the market grew by 13% driven
by price hikes in the Retail and OTC segments.
Among Indian Pharma companies, Dr. Reddy’s and Sun Pharma (following Ranbaxy’s merger) have sizeable presence in
Russia and the CIS region. In FY 2015, Dr. Reddy’s generated revenue of US$ 284 million from Russia, which along with the
CIS region accounted for 58% of its business from EMs (excluding India). While Dr. Reddy’s journey in Russia has been
supported by focus on gaining traction in top-brands and building a strong OTC portfolio (36% of revenues), going forward,
it aims have presence in niche segments like oncology and biosimilars. In FY 2015, the company continued to outperform
the industry, registering a growth of 5% (in volume terms) and 13% (in value terms). However, in INR terms, its revenues
declined by 10% to Rs. 17.7 Billion primarily due to 22% depreciation in Russian Ruble.
Brazil: Growth momentum improved as companies adapted to changing business dynamics With an estimated market size of US$ 25-30 billion, Brazil is other major market within the EM space. Over the past five
years, the Pharma market in Brazil has grown at a CAGR (%) of 17% driven by improving access to healthcare (on back of
Government-led programmes), pro-generic reforms and improving affordability. Notwithstanding the growth potential,
the operating environment in Brazil has however turned challenging for Pharma companies over the past few years on
account of delays by regulatory agency in granting product approvals and increasing competition from local players.
Further, the increasing share of drugs falling under Government’s procurement programme and a shift towards un-
branded generics has hurt profitability in the branded generics space. The industry is also going through a phase of supply
chain consolidation with the entry of large wholesalers and acquisition of small pharmacy chains by bigger ones.
Among Indian Pharma companies, Torrent, Cadila Healthcare and Glenmark have sizeable presence in Brazil and other
LATAM markets. Till FY 2012, the aggregate revenues of these entities from Brazil grew at a healthy pace however it hit a
roadblock in the subsequent years primarily on account of lack of approvals (by ANVISA) and increase in competitive
intensity from domestic players.
The scenario improved in FY 2015 as company tweaked their business strategies and started focusing on scaling up
presence in other LATAM markets. For instance in FY 2015, Torrent’s revenues grew by 14% (in INR terms) as it gained
traction in some products (after implementing price correction), scaled-up generics business and also received new
product approvals. For Glenmark, the growth of 89% in revenues was driven by scale-up in Mexico, Venezuela and
Caribbean subsidiaries.
During FY 2015, performance of
Indian companies in Russia was
impacted by sharp depreciation of
Russian Ruble.
Among the leading players, Dr.
Reddy’s revenues from Russia & CIS
region declined by 10% in INR
terms but grew by 13% in local
currency terms
In Brazil, the delays in product
approvals by ANVISA, increasing
pricing pressure and a shift in favor
of Government procurement and
pure generics have surfaced as the
key challenges for branded generic
companies
To address these challenges,
companies have tweaked their
business models through greater
focus on niche launches, foray into
pure generics and diversification
into other LATAM markets

Trend across Key Emerging Markets
Key Trends in Japan & South Africa
Generic substitution in Japan has
improved from 33% (in 2005) to
47% (in 2013)
Government aims to achieve 80%
penetration by 2021
As per industry estimates, patented
drugs worth US$ 14-16 billion are
expected to go off-patent in Japan
Adverse impact of forex fluctuation
is mitigated to some extent by the
fact the domestic players operating
in South Africa also depend on
imported APIs, which become
costlier owing to currency
depreciation
Japan With a market size of US$ 88 Billion in CY 2014, Japan is the second-largest pharmaceutical in the world, behind United
States. However, usage of generics in Japan (47% in volume terms in 2013) is lowest among developed countries where it
ranges between 70-90%. This has largely been due to lack of pro-generic incentive programmes till 2002.
However, as part of its effort to reduce its healthcare spending, the Japanese Government has initiated series of reforms
from 2002 onwards to increase in generic penetration. The recent roadmap (implemented from April 2014) aims to further
increase generic usage to 80% by 2021 vis-à-vis 47% in 2013, which along with sizeable off-patent opportunities present
strong growth prospects for generic companies.
The generic pharmaceutical market in Japan is largely dominated by Japanese firms. However, over the years, generic
majors like Teva have increased their focus in Japan through in-organic investments. Among Indian firms, Lupin is the only
major player to have sizeable presence, which it has established through acquisition and further strengthened through
new product launches and backward integration into India. With revenues of Rs. 13.2 billion (10% of sales), Japan is the
third-most important market for Lupin after United States and India.
While growth prospects remains strong, the generic segment is Japan is exposed to biennial price cuts. During the last two
schedules, the prices of generic drugs were revised downwards by 6.3% (in 2012) and 2.7% (in 2014).
Apart from regular price cuts, stringent regulatory process for approvals is another key challenge of operating in Japan and
the primary reason for low participation of Indian firms. Given the long gestation period and country-specific nuances, we
believe acquisition is most preferable route for generic players to gain presence in the Japanese market.
South Africa Although a relatively small market (US$ 3.5 Billion in FY 2015), South Africa features among the top-3 export destinations
from India, behind United States and Russia. Over the past five years, pharmaceutical exports to South Africa have grown
at a CAGR (%) of 24% and were estimated to be around US$ 475 million in FY 2014 (8% of India's pharma exports).
Similar to other emerging markets, 'out of pocket' spending on healthcare accounts for almost 85% of industry sales in
South Africa. Nearly 40% of the private market is prescription driven, while OTC and generics contribute almost 27-28%
each. Driven by government's pro-generic reforms, the share of generics has however been rising steadily and is poised for
steady growth on back of gradual implementation of National Health Insurance (NHI) scheme.
Among Indian firms, Cipla is one of the leading players in South Africa owing to its acquisition of Medpro. Cipla Medpro is
the 2nd largest player in the generic segment and 3rd largest overall in South Africa. Apart from Cipla, Lupin also has a
considerable presence in South Africa by virtue of its acquisition of Pharma Dynamics (PD).
Although generic segment is poised for steady growth, weak economic fundamentals are likely to put pressure
pharmaceutical sales given the dependence on-out-of pocket on healthcare spending. The depreciation of South African
Rand is likely to further add to pressure on margins of pharma companies. Over the past 12 months, the Rand has
continued to trade weaker, declining by ~11% against major currencies.

Impact of regulatory developments & market dynamics
ment
Frequent regulatory interventions and price corrections have been common themes The operating environment across many of the emerging markets have become challenging over the past few years. Frequent
regulatory changes, government's intervention in drug pricing (to contain healthcare costs) and delays in product approvals
have become regular features. In certain emerging markets, the regulatory framework has also put in place barriers to support
domestic manufacturers against foreign competitions. These involve raising import duties, creating price differentiation and
other interventions to promote locally manufactured drugs. As a result of these factors, companies have taken longer than
expected to scale-up operations in some of the key emerging markets.
More recently, the impact of sharp correction in crude oil prices on macro-economic environment (leading to sharp currency
fluctuations) has further increased risk of operating in countries like Russia, Venezuela, and Nigeria. While economy related
headwinds may abate gradually, the impact of evolving regulatory landscape is likely to have longer-term impact on the
industry. Some of common developments that have been observed across markets include:
Exhibit 2: Key Developments across markets & its impact
Countries Key Developments Impact Analysis
Brazil
Slow pace of regulatory approvals by regulatory agency (ANVISA)
Increasing competition from local players, growing focus towards unbranded
generics and higher proportion of market coming under government tenders
Delays in product approvals has impacted scale-up for generic
companies, which along with increasing competition has led to
price erosion
Russia
Initiation of “Pharma 2020” strategy aimed at promoting local manufacturing
Tougher regulations on interaction between pharma companies and doctors
Weakening macro-economic environment & its impact of currency
Sharp depreciation of Ruble over the past couple of months is
likely to impact earnings of pharma companies operating in
Russia; Presence in the OTC segment provides opportunity for
companies to offset its impact by taking price hikes
Romania Introduction of higher “claw back” tax from 2012 onwards Increase in claw-back tax in Romania has impacted profitability
of pharma companies
South Africa Introduction of international benchmark for pricing, prohibition of medicine
supplies on incentive schemes and low price hikes on essential drugs
Relatively subdued price hikes on essential drugs and currency
depreciation impacts margins due to high import dependence
ASEAN Region Support for local manufacturing in Malaysia
Sharp price cuts led by government in Indonesia
Japan Regular price cuts every two years and stringent approval process
Impacts profitability
Stringent process delays approval process and sourcing from
low cost units
Australia
Sharp price cuts in generic drugs and implementation of price disclosure
system
Proposal to announce a co-pay of AU$ 7/per visit to doctors (at present – nil)
Despite several drugs going off-patent, the growth generic
segment was muted in CY 2013 due to sharp price erosion
Introduction of co-pay mechanism will impact prescriptions
and in turn demand for medicines

Shift in favor of un-branded generics and increasing competition from local players and MNC pharma
companies could impact margins across emerging markets over the longer-term A bigger risk for branded generics business also stems from increasing focus on unbranded generics, tender-driven procurement
system and reference pricing mechanism to cut healthcare costs. Such interventions are expected to intensify going forward
and, therefore, may affect global pharmaceutical companies.
The competitive environment in emerging markets is also steadily increasing on back of rising interest levels of global majors
and strengthening capabilities of local companies. Although global majors operate primarily in the innovator segment but they
are steadily tapping the branded generics space through in-house generics arms and partnerships with local players. In most of
the emerging markets, such companies have been present for fairly long period and during this course they have developed
strong front-end presence.

Acquisitions are likely to play an important role in scaling up presence in emerging markets Despite challenges, the emerging markets remain an attractive market segment for Indian pharma companies owing to
abundant growth opportunities. As most of these markets are branded generic in nature and structurally similar to India in
many aspects, the nature of the business is familiar to the Indian companies. Nonetheless, emerging market strategies need to
be tailored to country-specific nuances and evolve with changing regulatory landscape and competitive environment.
We believe the acquisitions will play an important role in scaling presence in emerging markets given the long gestation
period involved in establishing branded generics business. Indian companies have been scouting for medium-sized
assets that provide an established front-end marketing presence, complimentary product or therapy exposure and an
experienced management team with understanding of local dynamics. The exhibit below illustrates recent acquisitions
within the EM space by Indian companies:
Over the years, pharma companies have also relied on partnering with global majors to penetrate emerging markets. A
JV/alliance with leading MNC pharma companies can be win-win situation as both partners can capitalize on each
other's strengths. While Indian companies offer their product development and manufacturing capabilities to these
partnerships, global majors leverage on their strong R&D, marketing and distribution network.
After an initial thrust on acquisitions, such partnerships have become fairly common in emerging markets for both
medium as well as large Indian firms. Among leading players, while Dr. Reddy's tied-up with GSK to market over 100
drugs in select markets, Sun Pharma also formed a JV with Merck to develop and sell drugs in EMs.
ICRA Limited P a g e | 13
The Road Ahead…
Though these strategic partnerships are positive for the companies, given the regulatory framework for product
approvals and initial gestation period, upside for Indian firms have taken longer than expected. Some of the companies
have also clearly laid out plans to build their own front end in some key markets.
As regulatory framework in some markets favors local manufacturing presence, we expect companies to also pursue
investments in setting-up units locally in markets that are strategic to their long-term plans. Among key companies,
Ranbaxy has been setting-up local manufacturing units in some markets in Africa as well as Asia Pacific. We believe this
trend is likely to gain pace especially in markets like Russia, Brazil etc which have implemented measures to promote
local manufacturing.
To address competitive pressures and increasing thrust on un-branded generics in many markets, companies are also
gradually shifting their focus on niche therapy areas that have limited competition owing to high entry barriers on
account of complex development or manufacturing techniques. Glenmark for instance is focusing on expanding its
pipeline with respiratory and dermatology products to offset pricing pressures in Brazil, while companies such as Dr.
Reddy's, Cadila and Biocon are focusing on scaling up their biosimilars portfolio in emerging markets. After introducing
its first biosimilars (Rituximab) in India in 2006, Dr. Reddy now markets a portfolio of four biosimilars in markets like
Peru, Sri Lanka and is in advanced stage of introducing its portfolio in Russia & CIS region.

Cadila Healthcare:
Cadila generates nearly 37% of its RoW revenues from Brazil. In line with changing market dynamics, the company’s performance in Brazil has been impacted by
delays in product approvals and pricing pressures. Accordingly, the company has initiated several steps to optimize its cost structure, sales force effectiveness and
inventory management. Cadila also entered Mexico in FY 2014 and is currently in the process of expanding its presence in the CVS and primary care segments.
Apart from Brazil, the company’s revenues are fairly well spread across Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. Cadila also has a tie-up with Abbott for some of the EMs
Cipla:
Among leading pharma companies, Cipla has the highest exposure to emerging markets. With the acquisition of Medpro (in FY 2014), South Africa became the most
important market for Cipla among EMs. Cipla Medpro is positioned as the 2nd
largest generic company in South Africa with market share of ~16% (as on June 2013)
Apart from South Africa, the company has also fairly strong presence in the rest of Africa with portfolio focused on ARVs, Anti-Malaria and Gynecology segments.
Traditionally, Cipla has confined itself to low risk partnership model for exports business. However, recently, the company has changed its strategy and has started
investing developing front-end presence across markets. Medpro’s acquisition was a step in this direction.
Dr. Reddy’s:
For Dr. Reddy’s, Russia & CIS is the most important market segment after U.S. and India. It generates almost 60% of its RoW revenues from the region. So far, DRL
has focused on increasing market traction in its key brands (i.e. Omez, Nise, Ketorol, Ciprolet etc.) and building a strong OTC portfolio (36% to its revenues from
Russia). However, going forward, it aims to build a portfolio of ‘differentiated’ and ‘complex’ products with focus on oncology and biosimilars.
Some of the other markets where DRL has direct presence include – Venezuela, South Africa and Australia. In South Africa, it is positioned among the top-10 players
in the generic segment. For other EMs, the company’s presence in marked through its alliance with GSK.
Glenmark:
Glenmark generates slightly over 1/5th
of its revenues from RoW markets with Latin America contributing almost 48%. The key market for Glenmark within LATAM
is Brazil wherein it is in the process of expanding its portfolio in some of the niche/difficult to develop therapy segments like Oncology, Respiratory and
Dermatology. The company is also expanding its business in other LATAM markets like Mexico and Venezuela.
IPCA Labs:
For IPCA, Africa is the most important market within RoW. Over the past six years, the company’s revenues from Africa have grown at CAGR of 18% driven by
expanding market penetration and product portfolio.

Lupin:
After U.S. and India, Japan is the third-largest market for Lupin, contributing 10% to its sales. Over the years, the company has scaled-up its presence in Japan on
back of two successful acquisitions, product portfolio expansion and sourcing from its Indian units. Apart from Japan, Lupin also has presence in South Africa,
Philippines and Australia. In all these markets, the company made its presence through acquisitions and has gradually scaled-up its presence through portfolio
expansion.
In FY 2014, the company also ventured into Latin America, a region where it do not have meaningful presence. It acquired Laboratories Grin S.A. (Grin), which is
positioned at 4th
largest ophthalmic player in Mexico. More recently, Lupin also forayed into the Brazilian market with the acquisition of an entity – Mediquimica. In
CY 2014, Mediquimica had revenues of US$ 31 million with business mix spread across branded generics, pure generics and OTC. In its pursuit to expand presence in
EMs, Lupin also recently ventured into Russia following the acquisition of a company called – Biocom. The acquisition provides Lupin both ready portfolio of
branded generics (with focus on CVS, CNS and Anti Microbial) as well as manufacturing footprint.
Sun Pharma:
Post merger with Ranbaxy, Sun Pharma’s emerging market presence has got strengthened given Ranbaxy’s strong and well diversified presence across many of the
markets in Africa, Asia Pacific, and Russia & CIS region. In FY 2015, the RoW segment (which includes revenues from Western Europe) contributed 22% to Sun
Pharma’s revenues as compared to 12% in FY 2014.
Torrent Pharma:
Among EMs, Torrent has strong presence in Brazil, which contributes nearly 60% to its revenues from RoW region. Like others, Torrent’s performance in Brazil has
also been affected by industry-wide factors like delays in product approvals and pricing pressures. To offset the impact of these issues, the company has started
diversifying its presence in Brazil by entering the pure generics segment, institutional sales as well as taking price cuts to compete more effectively.
