INDIA is one of the fastest growing health care
markets in the world. The current estimate of
health care device market is about $1billion with
a projected growth rate of 18%. Realizing this
huge potential, Indian industry as well as
academician has started showing keen interest in
biomaterials and medical devices research. As a
result, establishments like National Laboratories,
Indian Institutes of Technology and other leading
Universities have started research as well as
teaching programs. Many of the establishments work
in close association with the industry also. As an
outcome of this, apart from the ongoing research
activities, indigenously developed implants and
devices like artificial heart valve, hydrocephalus
shunt, blood oxygenator etc. are also available in
the Indian market.
In order to develop
coherence among the scientists and engineers
working in this field, way back in 1986 Dr.
Chandra P. Sharma along with his colleagues
founded the society, Society for Biomaterials and
Artificial Organs - India. |

Pharmaceuticals Export Promotion Council (Pharmexcil) |
|
Indian Pharmaceutical Industry has made phenomenal
progress over the years and made its impact in the
global market. Indian Pharmaceutical industry has
been recognized as reliable source for drugs and
drug intermediates, pharmaceutical formulations.
Tremendous opportunities are available for Indian
Pharma industry in post 2005 era to manufacture
and export many products getting off-patented. Its
immense strength in manufacturing quality
medicines at affordable prices made the Indian
Pharma industry to compete both in regulated and
non-regulated markets. This industry is playing a
vital role in the Indian economy with Rs.14500
crores export turnover in the year 2003-04 with a
growth rate of 12%.
Apart from its strengths in manufacturing and
exporting allopathic medicines, India is known for
its own systems of medicines with about 7000 units
manufacturing various Indian system of medicines
viz., Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Homeopathy etc.
Though strong in cultivation/manufacture of Indian
system of medicines, India’s share in the global
herbal market, estimated at US$ 63 billion, is
less than 0.2%, which shows that there is a
tremendous scope for export market. |
