Industry Structure & Developments

Global Vaccine Industry

Vaccines have emerged as one of the most attractive and fast growing sectors for thehealth care industry globally. The prevalence of infectious and non-infectious diseaseshas significantly risen worldwide, leading to a spur in healthcare expenditure of both thedeveloped and developing countries. Apart from the high disease prevalence, growingpopulation and emergence of new pandemics are important growth drivers of the globalvaccine market. The growth in the vaccine industry has been primarily driven by adultvaccines while the pediatric vaccines still continues to be one of the major contributors.

As per various industry estimates the overall global vaccines market was valued at US$28 billion in 2010 and is expected to reach US$ 56.7 billion by 2017 with a CAGR of 11.5%.The key growth drivers shall be growing public awareness about preventive healthcare,inclusion of vaccines in the Government immunisation programmes, introduction of newertherapeutic, prophylactic vaccines including combination vaccines and development ofvaccines for diseases like HIV, Malaria, Dengue, Cancer etc.

The major human vaccines markets include North America, Europe, Japan, Australia andNew Zealand. The US represents the largest market for prophylactic human vaccines,accounting for more than 50% of the global vaccines market. However, future growth isexpected to emanate mostly from the developing regions of Asia-Pacific, Latin America andthe Rest of World with Asia-Pacific being the fastest growing region. The emerging marketsare playing an increasingly significant role in the vaccines market as they industrialiseand generate additional national income and immunisation becomes their key priority area.The two other factors that are contributing to the globalisation of the vaccine market arethe efforts of the Gates Foundation and associated non-government organisations who arecontributing significant funding to the development and introduction of new vaccines intothe developing world. Additionally, there is real growth in the capabilities andaspirations of vaccine manufacturers located in the emerging markets such as India. Thesemanufacturers are now increasing their pipelines and products and have bigger aspirationsin terms of the market that they are targeting.

The pace of growth of vaccines business has become higher than the pharmaceuticalbusiness and major Pharma companies are eyeing the vaccine market as driver for theirgrowth. The classic examples are blockbuster launches of new generation vaccines globallywith revenue of more than $1bn immediately post its launch (Prevenar & Gardasil). Manymergers and acquisitions have taken place in this space. Major players like Sanofi, GSK,Novartis, Pfizer, J&J have laid strong foothold in vaccines. With companiesconsolidating, they can now emphasise better in the vaccine market through focused R&Dand new technology platforms. Morever, considering the growing competition and costs,heightened quality expectations and stricter safety enforcement, vaccine manufacturers arelooking to their suppliers not only for higher quality products, but for greater supportand closer collaboration at every stage of production in local manufacturing.

Indian Vaccine Market

India has made a significant contribution to the development of global vaccine industryby producing many critical vaccines in large volumes at affordable prices. The vaccinesmarket in India is vibrant with a strong global presence and is placed among the leadingones in the emerging markets. India's huge population and large birth cohort makes it anattractive market among the world's largest markets for all types of vaccines. The Indianvaccine market is getting boosted with the increasing penetration of existing vaccines,introduction of more and more vaccines in the national immunisation programme,introduction of innovative combination and novel vaccines by both Indian and multinationalcompanies in India.

The Indian vaccine market continued its growth trend and registered 22% growth in 2011with a market size of around US$ 350 million and is expected to reach around US$ 1.0billion by 2017 with a CAGR of approx. 20%. India produces 60 percent of the world'svaccines and account for 60-80 percent of annual UN vaccine purchases. Over 70% ofpatients from majority of the developing countries receive vaccines procured from India bythe UNICEF, International Dispensary Association, the Global Fund and Clinton Foundation.

With the concerted efforts of all stakeholders towards ensuring eradication/eliminationof diseases that can be prevented through vaccination, noteworthy improvement has happenedover these years in bringing down the number of cases reported earlier on MMR, HepatitisB, Diphtheria, Pertussis, Influenza and so on. India has shown tremendous commitmenttowards its fight against critical diseases which is evident from the fact that India hasnot only successfully reduced the polio cases to zero but also ensured non recurrence ofpolio cases since January 2011 resulting India getting out of WHO's Polio endemic list inFebruary 2012. This could be possible only through collaborative effort by the Government,both at Central and State Levels, Industry, multilateral agencies like Gates Foundation,Rotary and the mammoth role played by IAP and its members.

The key growth drivers for vaccine market in India are higher disease burden resultingin dire need to prevent it through vaccination, large unmet medical needs even for basicvaccines in rural India, commendable efforts by local governments to improve vaccinationthrough public infrastructure and increase in affordability leading to enhancedrequirements for new generation vaccines.

However, the Indian vaccine industry, due to its evolving nature and by virtue of itspresence in an imperfect emerging market, is faced with a number of challenges both at themicro unit level and at the macro level.

Global Pharmaceutical Market

The global pharmaceutical industry is witnessing transformation due to changingdemographic profile, epidemiological and economic shifts. With the growing and aging worldpopulation and changing lifestyle in the developing world, more and more new areas ofmedical need are emerging. These changes coupled with the large unmet medical need fortreatment of critical diseases are expected to generate significant opportunities forpharmaceutical companies across the globe.

During 2011, the global pharmaceutical market has grown by 5.1% to around US$ 956billion and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3-6% to cross US$ 1.1 trillion by 2015. Themost significant feature is that more than 60% of this increase is expected to becontributed by the emerging markets, which is forecasted to grow at a remarkable CAGR of13-16% to reach around US$ 345 billion by 2015, while the developed markets are forecastedto grow at a much lower rate of less than 5% p.a.

Amidst all other good things, the global pharmaceutical industry continues to remainfragmented and fiercely competitive and faces increased genericisation. The genericsindustry on the other hand would be counting a lot due to generic competition in newmolecules arising out of patent expiries, alternative generic opportunities and increasedincentives for the usage of generics in many markets. The emerging pharma markets wouldtherefore look forward to capitalise on this opportunity.

The generics segment of the global pharmaceutical market has traversed a long way fromcontributing at around 28% in 2010 to reach at an expected landmark of 40% of the totalglobal pharma spending by 2015 growing with a CAGR of around 13%, as compared with a 1%CAGR in the patented branded market. This trend is visible not only in the emergingmarkets but also in the developed markets. The generics market is expected to expandfurther due to the increase in genericisation with US$140 billion drugs, now patented,going off patent by 2015, healthcare cost containment by governments/payers and relativelylow penetration in some major geographies etc. Contribution from the emerging pharmamarkets has gone up with China, India, Brazil, Turkey and Russia leading the way fromcontributing 19% in 2004, to contributing over 30% of the sales in the generics industry.
