New report: India's top 100 pharmaceutical firms
pharmaceutical companies for those in the industry who have a
business interest in this burgeoning region.
India is suddenly a safer place to research and manufacture pharmaceuticals, thanks to legal reform, raised manufacturing standards and reduced bureaucracy and Western pharma companies are now flooding back to do business in the country.
As a result, India's pharma market now ranks fourth in the world after decades in oblivion and momentum is growing in its global competitiveness and profitability for both contract services and as a place to set up operations.
However, risk still lurks in legislation loopholes, niggling intellectual property concerns and poor infrastructure and companies venturing back to do business in the region still need to tread carefully.
The new report released by industry analyst firm Research and Markets, titled "Top 100 Indian Pharma Company Profiles," provides vital statistics and information on each of the Indian companies featured, as well as a company profile.
Details of the businesses include facilities and infrastructure, contacts, lines of business, product profile, R&D status, management team and their financial highlights for the past of four years.
Firms involved in all aspects of the pharmaceutical industry, ranging from formulation, bulk ingredients, contract manufacturing and contract research, right through to generic and patented drug developers and manufacturers are included in the report.
