Growth in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

India's pharmaceutical manufacturing sector is expanding rapidly due to government initiatives, increasing demand for essential medicines, and rising healthcare needs.

The push for self-reliance in API manufacturing, particularly for paracetamol, is further strengthening India's position in the global pharmaceutical industry.

In FY23, the sector was valued at $49.78 billion, with exports at $27.82 billion. The biosimilars market is set to grow to $12 billion by 2025, while domestic sales are expected to increase by 8-10% in FY24.
