LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global pharmerging market report. This research report also lists 40 other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.

The pharmaceutical industry worldwide witnesses a dramatic regional shift to the pharmerging market, owing to the opportunities available. Considering the on-going trend of shift in global medicine dosage consumption to developing countries, about 55-60% of the global consumption should come from pharmerging markets by 2021. This will eventually lead to an incremental growth of around 25% from 2016 level.

Competitive vendor landscape

As most of the pharmaceutical companies lose ground in the matured markets of the Americas and Europe, pharmerging markets have been increasingly perceived as high growth potential markets by the top pharmaceutical companies. The markets are highly fragmented with the presence of a large number of local and international vendors distributed across the verticals.

“As the emerging markets move toward consolidation through acquisition and alliances, the competitive environment is expected to settle down at product innovation and launch level. The vendors that show customized business model, suit the local requirements with a strong supply chain management and are expected to grow during the forecast period,” says Sapna Jha, a lead cardiovascular and metabolic disorders research analyst from Technavio.
