India's pharmaceutical contract manufacturing market could reach $2.46 billion by 2010 from only $869.0 million in 2007, a compound annual growth rate of 41.7%. The estimate was made by global auditing firm KPMG in its most recent pharmaceuticals market report.
The study also predicts that Indian firms will increasingly expand their range of contract manufacturing deals from active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates, with solid and liquid dosages, to more complex drugs, eg, injectables.
KPMG notes that "Indian companies, through their high-quality, low-cost production models, have bagged some impressive deals in the contract manufacturing space. These deals validate India's potential to achieve a larger share of the global manufacturing outsourcing market."
