4. Industry Details
The biotechnology sector of India is one of the most significant sectors in enhancing India's global profile as well as
contributing to the growth of the economy. This sector is directly or indirectly related to the health as well as the
agricultural sector of India.
India is among the top 12 biotech destinations in the world and is the largest producer of recombinant Hepatitis B
vaccine. Out of the top 10 biotech companies in India (by revenue), six focus their expertise in bio-pharmaceuticals
and four specialize in agri-biotech.
India had recently overtaken Canada to emerge as the fourth largest country to grow biotech or genetically modified
(GM) crops, as farmers here planted Bt cotton in about 11 million hectares. The global acreages under GM crops
increased to 175.2 million hectares in 2013, about five million hectares more than the previous year.
India also has no dearth of talent in this sector, as a number of institutions, both government and autonomous, provide
the necessary opportunities for the student seeking to obtain a degree in this sector. Also, the Government of India
has provided adequate scope to this sector by providing facilities for research and development (R&D) in the field of
biotechnology.
The Indian biotech industry holds about 2 per cent share of the global biotech industry. With the growth in the
customer base and more investments taking place in the biotech sector, the biotech industry is expected to grow to
around US$ 73.73 billion by the year 2020. The high demand for different biotech products has also opened up scope
for the foreign companies to set up bases and reap great profits.
The biotechnology industry in India, comprising about 400 companies, has grown three-fold in the last five years to
reach US$ 4 billion in FY 13. Growing at an average rate of about 20 per cent, India's biotech industry comprising
biopharmaceuticals, disservices, bio-agriculture, bio-industry and bio-informatics could reach the US$ 7 billion mark
by FY 15.
