Multinationals Threatening Domestic Growth of India’s Generics Firms, Says GlobalData Report
Previously considered a thorn in the side of Big Pharma, the Indian generics industry is emerging as a
key hunting ground for Multinational Corporations (MNCs) looking to extend their reach into emerging
economies. Domestic players, however, may pay the price for the intrusion, states the latest report from
research and consulting firm GlobalData.
The new report* – the first in the company’s new PharmaSphere series – explains that while the Indian
generics industry has witnessed significant growth over the last year, pharmaceutical giants, which are
keen to leverage the nation’s relatively low cost of production and high quality facilities, may slow the
growth of India’s domestic companies.
Adefemi Adenuga, analyst with GlobalData’s Industry Dynamics Team, says: “Indian generics companies,
particularly the smaller ones, do not possess the capabilities to match those of these larger players, and
are therefore not able to enjoy the resultant scope and scale economies, which are two key requirements
in the price-sensitive generics business.”
Indeed, MNCs are actively positioning themselves to capture a significant portion of the Indian generics
market, primarily through authorized generic versions of their off-patent blockbusters. Adenuga states:
“The branded generics offered by these large companies may appeal more to the brand-sensitive portion
of the Indian population, which now numbers over 1.2 billion, especially if these products are sold at
prices that compete well with unbranded pharmaceuticals.”

The GlobalData analyst also believes that the future of the Indian generics market will be shaped by how
its government reacts to the current pressure by MNCs regarding the nation’s patent laws. Both Bayer
and Novartis have launched strong challenges against India’s compulsory licensing of key drugs over the
last 12 months.
“Although the government is currently standing its ground, increasing pressure from Big Pharma may
force it to relax some of its more stringent laws to favor foreign companies, considering the economic
implications of their presence in the country.
“This will come as a blow to domestic generics manufacturers, who often reap the benefits of compulsory
licenses and legal rulings against foreign multinationals.”
