Growth of the pharmaceutical market in Hong Kong is expected to be steady over the medium term. The market should reach HK$10.56 billion ($1.35 billion) in value at consumer prices by 2014, up from the calculated HK$7.19billion in 2009, according to a new report from Business Monitor International.
This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.99% in local currency terms, which will somewhat decrease to 7.06% over BMI’s longer, 10-year forecast period to 2019. A testament to its attractiveness, Hong Kong now occupies fifth place in the Asia Pacific Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare Business Environment Ratings (BER) matrix for first-quarter 2011, which ranks 17 key regional markets, says BMI.
