GCC Pharmaceuticals Market Trends and Drivers:

Increased investment in healthcare, increased prevalence of chronic diseases, and increasing drug manufacturing capacities are the major forces propelling the growth of the GCC pharmaceutical market. Additionally, an increasing population in this region and increasing disease burden have also increased demand for quality drugs. Apart from that, government initiatives towards enhancing the healthcare infrastructure and support to local development of production have boosted this sector. National insurance schemes introduced in the GCC cities are enhancing access to prescribed medications. Moreover, rapid uptake of biologics and biosimilars is propelling the use of drugs by healthcare service providers looking to use more innovative drugs to manage complicated diseases.

The trend of the pharmaceutical industry in the GCC promotes local production of drugs as well as associated R&D activities. Government expenditure in local drug production is inhibiting foreign dependence on drugs to provide drug supply. This is manifesting in improved manufacturing units. Increased demand for generics is prompting cost-cutting modes of treatment and increasing availability of essential drugs among masses. Healthcare options like e-prescription and telemedicine portals provide the unbroken pipeline for delivery of drug products while ensuring enhanced patient compliance towards drugs. Genomics and biotech are making individualized medicine possible with customized treatment regimens. In the same vein, the entire sustainability movement; green pharma packaging of drugs and waste control campaigns, is a trailblazing one that will most likely lead the GCC pharmaceuticals industry in the next few years.
