1Will the Eastern Pharmaceutical Market Growth
Surpass the Western Multinationals? (China
India vs. USA Europe )
2Looking to the futureLook East
- While the environment for the pharmaceuticals
industry in mature - Western markets is becoming more and more
regulated, Eastern - markets are emerging rapidly and generating new
opportunities.
The New World is now in the east. These vast

that will reward those who adapt.
Will the Western multinationals capitalize on the
coming boom or will it surpass them? Are
Eastern companies positioned to compete
seriously?

Prospective Situation
Current Situation
- Medicare Part D program (January 2006)
- 1 to 2 of the drug sales increase
- Generics vs Branded
- Expected to be the major source of growth
- Financial settlements arranged by brand name drug
companies to keep the lower priced generic drugs
off the market (14 settlements in 2006 vs. 3 in
2005) - 2008 could look better for branded products
based on pipelines - Renewed interest by Americas top executives to
discuss healthcare costs and overhauling the
nations medical system (New York Times April 6
2007) - RD
- RD spending reached a record high of 55.2bn in
2006 ( 3.4bn vs 2005 record high)
- US Drug sales in 2005 driven by increased use of
biotechnology products and a decrease in
medications purchased from abroad - Sales of drugs obtained from Canada through
Internet pharmacies dropped 23 to 349 million
Primary Factors for Growth
- Increased prescription volume
- Shift toward usage of more expensive drugs
- Price increases and aggressive marketing
Sources Pharma Industry News 2005
Bloomberg/Inquirer
26DEFICIT REDUCTION ACT Many Key Provisions
Started Jan1st 2007 , Final Rules June 2007
- 1. Drive more Medicaid drug spending toward
generics and reduce the market advantages of
authorized generics. - 2. Make Average Manufacturer Price (AMP) - a key
measure of drug prices in the marketplace and the
metric used in determining Medicaid rebates -
transparent to the public. Previously, AMP was
confidential and known only to government
officials. - 3. Lower AMP on many prescription drugs, putting
drug makers under increased cost pressures and
increasing Medicaid rebates to states. - 4. Increase the compliance risks of drug
manufacturers. - 5. Reduce Medicaid reimbursement to pharmacies.
- 6. Put another nail in the coffin of Average
Wholesale Price (AWP) by moving Medicaid pharmacy
reimbursement systems from AWP to AMP.
27CHALLENGES OF DRA FOR PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES
- 1. Transparency of AMP (Average Manufacturer
Price ) and ASP will substantially increase
pricing and political pressures. - 2. Inevitable expansion of regulated drug
pricing by government. - 3. Increased pressure on brand name drugs and
generics, and further fuel for market shift
towards generics. - 4. Stronger financial interest in AMP,
especially among pharmacies. - 5. Impact of exclusion of prompt pay discounts,
most nominal pricing, and other class of trade
discounts. - 6. Major investment in systems, data,
compliance, legal, and Public Relations
resources.

Eastern Pharmaceuticals Growth and
Opportunities/Challenges for the Western
Multinationals
66Looking to the futureLook East
- Growing Populations and increased life expectancy
of China and India represent enormous - growth potential.
- Domestic Indian companies better positioned to
take advantage, Western MNs need to act now. - Western Multi-nationals in China have already
taken the lead. - Speed of growth will depend on access to health
care - China more advanced with government initiatives
to increase coverage - India private sector will grow in tandem with
economic development - Spend on HC and RD can only go up in eastern
markets. - Pharma industry will benefit as a whole
- Individual companies must position now
