GCC Pharmaceuticals Market Trends and Drivers:


Greater investment in healthcare, greater incidence of chronic diseases, and augmenting drug manufacturing capacities are the key drivers driving the expansion of the GCC pharmaceutical market. Moreover, a growing population in this region and rising disease burden have also augmented demand for quality medicines. Besides that, government efforts towards improving the healthcare infrastructure and support to local development of production have given a boost to this sector. National insurance programs implemented in the GCC cities are increasing access to prescribed drugs. Additionally, quick adoption of biologics and biosimilars is driving the utilization of drugs by healthcare service providers seeking more innovative treatments to treat complex diseases.

The prevailing trend in the pharmaceutical industry in the GCC encourages local manufacture of drugs as well as related R&D efforts. Government investment in domestic drug manufacturing is curbing foreign drug dependence to ensure drug supply. This is finding expression in better manufacturing facilities. The rise in demand for generics is compelling cost-saving treatment modes and expanding access to crucial drugs among masses. Healthcare solutions such as e-prescription and telemedicine platforms ensure the uninterrupted pipeline for drug product delivery while providing improved patient compliance to medication. Genomics and biotechnology are opening the way to individualized medicine with tailored treatment strategies. Similarly, the whole sustainability trend; green pharmaceutical packaging of medicines and waste management campaigns, is a pioneering one which will most likely pioneer the GCC pharmaceuticals sector in the coming years.
