The heavy increase in tariffs and penalty announced by the US in July/August, 2025 the resulting for export in US market may be highly disappointed and may have adverse effect on the export front of the Company. Morever in global trade have caused widespread economic uncertainty, impacting the outlook. Global headline inflation is expected to decline at a pace that is slightly slower than what was expected in January, reaching 4.3% in 2025 and 3.6% in 2026.

In 2024, global medicine spending continued its upward trajectory, reflecting a growing demand for chronic care, specialty treatments and innovative therapies. Total pharmaceutical spending remains on course to exceed US$ 2.3 Trillion by 2028, supported by a projected CAGR of 5-8%. While volume growth plateaued in 2023, it is expected to grow at an average rate of 2.3% through 2028, driven by emerging markets such as China, India, Southeast Asia and Latin America. These regions are poised to drive the next phase of global demand, in contrast to mature markets such as North America, Western Europe and Japan, where per capita consumption levels are already high and future growth is expected to moderate.

India remained the world's fastest growing major economy in FY2024-25, supported by macroeconomic stability, robust domestic demand and a strong policy environment. The domestic economy demonstrated resilience amidst global uncertainties, aided by prudent fiscal management and steady consumption. India's real GDP growth for FY2024-25 is estimated at 6.5%, reaffirming its relative strength in a challenging global landscape. Inflation remained broadly within the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) target range, aided by proactive monetary policy, despite supply-side disruptions and global commodity price fluctuations posing persistent risks.

India's pharmaceutical market is projected to see strong growth, with medicine spending expected to reach US$ 38-42 Billion by 2028, with a CAGR of 7-10% from 2024 to 2028. This growth is driven by a combination of expanding access, growing demand for treatments across both acute and chronic conditions, and continued reliance on affordable generic medicines.

The Indian pharmaceutical industry continues to solidify its position as a global leader, often lauded as the "Pharmacy of the World." This robust standing is driven by a powerful combination of a strong scientific and technological base, a burgeoning domestic market, and highly cost-competitive manufacturing capabilities.

The pharmaceutical industry's contribution to India's economy is substantial, generating considerable direct and indirect employment and significantly contributing to the country's GDP (currently 1.72%). Continued growth is anticipated, fueled by enhanced R&D capabilities, sustained cost efficiencies, a vast talent pool of scientists and skilled professionals, and new opportunities in emerging global economies. Government initiatives, such as the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes (with allocations like Rs. 15,000 crore for pharmaceuticals and Rs. 6,940 crore for raw materials/APIs), the establishment of Bulk Drug Parks, and the Promotion of Research & Innovation in Pharma-MedTech Sector (PRIP) Scheme, are actively fostering domestic manufacturing, reducing import dependence, and boosting R&D. The Union Budget 2025 also increased healthcare allocation by 11% and provided customs duty exemptions for several life-saving drugs.

Given this growth trajectory, Viksit Bharat envisions India transforming from being the ‘Pharmacy of the World' to becoming a ‘Pharma Powerhouse to the World.'

However, several factors present ongoing challenges. Poor public healthcare funding and infrastructure within India, low per capita consumption of medicines in some emerging economies, currency fluctuations, and geo-political conflicts remain areas of concern. Critically, the Indian pharmaceutical industry faces potential disruption from proposed tariffs, including a 200% tariff on pharmaceutical imports by the US, which is India's largest drug importer (accounting for nearly 33% of India's pharma exports in FY2024). This threat could significantly squeeze profit margins and reduce competitiveness. Furthermore, the industry's continued 70-80% dependence on China for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) poses a strategic vulnerability despite government efforts to promote domestic API manufacturing. Other challenges include stringent regulatory issues, government-mandated price controls, all-round increases in input costs due to inflation, and the need to address talent shortages, particularly in STEM and digital roles, and to enhance intellectual property protection.

Decoding the Key Growth Drivers of the Indian Pharmaceutical Industry

India's massive and growing population forms the bedrock of its pharmaceutical demand. A significant youth population, combined with a rapidly expanding elderly demographic, creates a sustained need for a wide spectrum of healthcare products and medicines, from acute care to chronic treatments.

India is undergoing a significant demographic transition. The chart illustrates the age distribution, highlighting the growing segment of the population aged 60 and above, which is a primary consumer of chronic medications.

Lifestyle changes have led to an increased prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This trend boosts the demand for long-term therapies, making the chronic care segment a crucial driver of domestic pharma growth.

Increased government spending on health and rising per capital incomes have significantly reduced the financial burden on households. This makes healthcare more accessible and boosts pharmaceutical consumption across the nation.

The following segments are identified by the Company:

1) Manufacturing and dealing in Pharmaceutical Drug and Formulations;

2) Trading of Commodities;

3) Renting of Properties.

Indian's reputation as the "Pharmacy of the World" is built on its formidable manufacturing capabilities. The industry excels in producing high-quality, low- cost generic medicines, making it a critical player in the global supply chain. This expertise allows India to dominate in volume, even if its market share by value is smaller, highlighting its role in providing affordable medicines worldwide.

Indian ranks 3rd globally in pharmaceutical production by volume but 14th by va lue. This disparity underscores its strengths in cost-effective generic manufacturing.

The Segment wise performance is given in Note 42 to the Audited Financial Statement.

Regulatory Price Controls: The pharmaceutical industry faces challenges from pricing regulations on drugs brought under the National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM). This impacts revenue potential and profit margins. Your Company has focussed on volume-led growth and maintains constant supplies of high quality and affordable medicines.

Growing threats of generics: The industry faces growing threats from the increased availability and afford ability of generic drugs. This is due to factors like patent expirations, the rise of biosimilars, and India's strong position as a major exporter of generic drugs.

Supply chain vulnerabilities: Global geopolitical tensions and rising raw material costs have disrupted supply chains. These challenges are further intensified by input cost fluctuations and price volatility in essential materials, which could impact procurement stability and increase manufacturing costs.

Market expansion: Your Company sees significant potential in expanding its presence Globally. The rapidly growing e-pharmacy market in India presents a compelling opportunity to enhance accessibility and reach in previously under served markets. By leveraging digital platforms alongside physical presence, your Company is aiming to create a seamless healthcare delivery ecosystem that bridges the urban-rural divide and expands its customer base.
