India Pharma Export 2021 Data Research And Facts Despite the pandemic and global trade hurdles, Indian pharmaceutical companies continue to be a dominating player in the international pharmaceutical export market. India is the third-largest pharma exporter in the world. Supported by Pharmexil(Pharmaceutical Promotion Council of India), the Indian pharma industry recorded an increase of 18.7% in 2021, to rise to $24.4 Billion, the highest jump in more than eight years. The increase of the previous year was lodged at about 7.57%. This came as a relief to Indian exporters as pharma companies around the world suffered shrinkage of about a couple of percentage points in business. India exports a remarkable third of all global demand for pharmaceuticals. Indian generic medicines have a reputation for being of excellent quality yet maintaining affordability. They are naturally the most demanded Indian exports at about 70% of global exports. International shipment data shows that more than 50% demand for various vaccines is fulfilled by India.
AMERICA IS THE HIGHEST IMPORTER North American countries like the USA, Canada and Mexico form the largest market for Indian pharmaceutical exports. The leading cause of death in the United States of America is heart disease, a calamity that cuts across racial and ethnic groups. Statistics say that an American dies of heart disease every 36 seconds and that about a quarter of all deaths happen due to heart problems. It is interesting to note that America imports the most cardiovascular medicaments from India. Contact Cybex at info@cybex.in to know the precise pharmaceutical export numbers. It is expected that Indian pharma exports would grow by about 11%. That means that in the next two years the market share would reach about $60 Billion. This news opens up opportunities for vendors and companies in the Indian pharma export industry to amp up their efforts towards global domination.

THE WELFARE OBJECTIVE COMBINED WITH PROFITABILITY It is often said that healthcare, education and journalism are three professions where the profit motive should be eschewed and only welfare must be considered. We at Cybex.in argue that welfare and profit can go hand in hand if approached delicately. Indian pharma exporters must look to capitalise on the opportunity that India’s gigantic market share affords them and then look to channelise their profits towards noble initiatives at home. Our public healthcare system could stand to benefit enormously from an increase in investment as much of this country still suffers from none or very primitive methods of medicine that hurts more than it cures.
