SMALL BUSINESS IDEAS IN INDIAN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

During the coronavirus outbreak in 2020, the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries proved to be the most important ones across the world and India's position as the largest provider of generic drugs globally was reconstructed in the global pharmaceuticals sector as various developed nations demanded possible cure drugs for the pandemic from India.

.

The Indian pharma industry has been catering to the international demand with the supplies of over 50 per cent of global demand for various vaccines, 40 per cent of generic demand in the US and 25 per cent of all medicine in the UK. Backing this supply is India's significant pool of scientists and engineers who have the potential to steer the industry ahead to an even higher level.

While the international sales are done and over 80 per cent is supplied by Indian pharmaceutical firms, the domestic sales are also worked upon. There is expected to be a better growth in domestic sales would which depends on the ability of companies to align their product portfolio towards chronic therapies for rapidly increasing diseases such as cardiovascular, anti-diabetes, anti-depressants and anti-cancers.

How to Manufacture?

Medicines are not something everyone can sell; thus pharmacists acquire a sound knowledge of medicines and how to develop them. If you're a pharmacist, then it is a great idea to avail the business opportunity in pharmacy by opening a medicines-manufacturing company which could be quite lucrative.

As the development of these medicines requires various facilities and equipment, not many people can afford them in the beginning. In this case, you could do all the research and development and then outsource the actual manufacturing of the medicines to medicines-manufacturing companies. When you start generating revenue by outsourcing, invest the money on your own company.

What about other sides, if you are not interested in manufacturing, well, here are some small business ideas for starting a business in the Pharmaceutical industry in 2020
