"Transforming the Indian Pharmaceutical Landscape: Opportunities in Specialty Drugs and CDMO Growth"
The Indian pharmaceutical sector is transitioning from generic drug production to high-value specialty drug manufacturing, driven by the BioSecure Act which enhances the role of Indian CDMOs as alternatives to Chinese counterparts. This shift is complemented by signs of recovery in pricing in the US generics market and a strong focus on developing complex molecules, resulting in strategic growth opportunities. The industry is also witnessing increased investment in innovative treatments and biosimilars, positioning it for robust future growth.
