EXISTING THREATS AND RISKS FACED BY THE INDUSTRY

The US Trade Representatives (USTR) has questioned India for the countrys growing spurious medicine problem. According to the USTR report, nearly 20% of all pharmaceutical goods sold in the Indian market are counterfeit, which is a damning claim given Indias growing pharmaceutical market and its decades long reputation as the " pharmacy of the world"

The Indian pharmaceutical industry ranks third in the world in terms of volume, supplying 20% of the global demand for generic drugs. With a strong network of 3,000 drug companies and approximately 10,500 manufacturing units spread across the country, if timely efforts are not taken now, India may lag behind due to a lack of quality pharma products. Certain aspects as follows must be prioritize.
