The centre of gravity for the global pharmaceutical industry is shifting. Increasingly, many multinational pharmaceutical companies are building up their presence in Asia – a region that provides them with not only new and cost-effective options to site their manufacturing activities, but also their research and development functions and clinical trial activities.
In a 2009 survey report by PricewaterhouseCoopers¹ in which they interviewed 185 multinational (MNC) and domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing companies across nine territories, 55% of the MNC and 62% of the domestic companies believe that Asia will be the centre of gravity for the global pharmaceutical market in the near future. This shifting dynamics will present unprecedented opportunities as well as challenges to the region’s existing pharmaceutical manufacturing community and the associated industry. ¹”Gearing up for a global gravity shift”, PricewaterhouseCoopers, 2009
