In the next five years, the pharmaceutical market in Southeast Asia is expected to grow a lot, around 11% every year. By 2020, the sales are predicted to reach USD 40 billion, making it one of the fastest-growing pharmaceutical markets globally. This region is a good opportunity for pharmaceutical companies that can follow good manufacturing practices (GMP), offer competitive prices, and have a good export plan.
Pharmaceutical companies in South Asia can benefit from more spending on healthcare, an aging population, more diseases related to lifestyle, and a higher GDP per person. Thailand has one of the fastest-growing populations of older people globally. About 13% of its people (10.3 million) are over 60 years old, and by 2025, a quarter of the population will be elderly. Indonesia and Malaysia are seeing similar trends.
Governments in South Asia are starting to see the importance of innovation in key areas to keep their countries' economies growing. Thailand, for example, is working on "Thailand 4.0" to change from a "manufacturing hub" to an "innovation hub." They're setting up advanced facilities at the Thailand Science Park with clean rooms, labs, and high-tech technologies. Foreign companies are also investing in local companies to upgrade production technology. For instance, a German company, STADA, has invested in a Vietnamese company, Pymepharmcov. In Indonesia, around USD 20 billion in foreign investments are expected in the next five years. Singapore is also seeing big investments from pharmaceutical companies like GSK, WuXi Biologic, and Novartis.
Many ASEAN countries, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand, are part of the Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme. This scheme aims to make inspection procedures the same worldwide by having consistent GMP standards, training inspectors, and promoting collaboration between local and international groups. The Philippines and Vietnam are interested in joining.
Trying to make ASEAN regulatory rules similar to Western markets might create new sales opportunities, especially with increasing costs and more regulations in China and India. So, apart from growing exports to Australia and New Zealand, there's a chance to expand in Europe and maybe North America.
In conclusion, the rising pharmaceutical industry in South Asia, along with more foreign investments and connections with global regulatory groups, is likely to create good opportunities for companies in the trifluoroacetic acid market in the coming years..
