3. Rise in number of domestic playersNATIONAL-LIST-OF-ESSENTIAL-MEDICINES-(NLEM) lists 354 DRUGS under cost based price control by NATIONAL PHARMACEUTICAL POLICY 2006.
4. The field of discovery and developments of new chemical entity (NCEs), had more misses than hits. Very few discoveries reach the final stages of approvals, and in most of the cases the claim for patent gets stuck in legal battles. INDIAN COMPANIES spend 4% of SALES on R&D, where the GLOBAL practice is of 12-16%.
5. Leading INDIAN Pharma companies have been actively extending the frontiers of scientific knowledge & going global through mergers & acquisitions. The European generics market have emerged as a major attraction for acquisitions by Indian companies as margin erosion in Europe is much less compared to the US when a drug or formulation becomes generic. Consolidation is inevitable and is expected to bring in economies of scale and provide access to newer geographies to regional players.

16. Indian Pharma companies are going for compliance with INTERNATIONAL REGULATORY AGENCIES like USFDA & MCC for their manufacturing facilities. INDIA has largest no of USFDA approved plants outside US
52. The first is a shift from an opportunistic strategy to one of focus. Market forces are driving Pharmacompanies to concentrate their efforts and to abandon the practice of investing in a broad array of compounds on the premise that nearly every opportunity is worth exploring. Second, companies will shift from a fully integrated pharma company model to one that uses partnerships to manage risk and return. Today, each company handles its own discovery, development, manufacturing, marketing and sales. But trying to do everything internally carried a high risk with increasingly significant investments.
53. Third, companies will shift from science-driven provision of specific drugs to providing customer solutions. Historically, the pharma industry has sold therapeutics that addresses diseases but don't necessarily cure them or meet patients' full needs in managing their conditions. Finally,companies will shift from a functional to an integrated business organisation model. Traditionally, Big Pharma has had separate functional units for each stage of the drug development and marketing process. But the industry should study companies such as Dell and General Electric to assess the advantages of organisation models based on discrete business units. These companies grow profitably by pushing responsibility for profits down to smaller business units.
57. PORTER’S Competitive Forces Porter's five forces analysis is a framework for the industry analysis and business strategy development developed by Michael E Porter of Harvard Business School in 1979. It uses concepts developed in Industrial Organization (IO) economics to derive five forces which determine the competitive intensity and therefore attractiveness of a market. Attractiveness in this context refers to the overall industry profitability. An "unattractive" industry is one where the combination of forces acts to drive down overall profitability. A very unattractive industry would be one approaching "pure competition". Porter referred to these forces as the micro environment, to contrast it with the more general term macro environment. They consist of those forces close to a company that affect its ability to serve its customers and make a profit. A change in any of the forces normally requires a company to re-assess the marketplace. The overall industry attractiveness does not imply that every firm in the industry will return the same profitability. Firms are able to apply their core competences, business model or network to achieve a profit above the industry average. A clear example of this is the airline industry. As an industry, profitability is low and yet individual companies, by applying unique business models have been able to make a return in excess of the industry average.
58. PORTER’S Competitive Forces Strategy consultants occasionally use Porter's five forces framework when making a qualitative evaluation of a firm's strategic position. However, for most consultants, the framework is only a starting point or 'check-list' they might use. Porter's five forces include three forces from 'horizontal' competition: threat of substitute products, the threat of established rivals, and the threat of new entrants; and two forces from 'vertical' competition: the bargaining power of suppliers, bargaining power of customers. According to Porter, the five forces model should be used at the industry level; it is not designed to be used at the industry group or industry sector level. An industry is defined at a lower, more basic level: a market in which similar or closely related products and/or services are sold to buyers. Firms that compete in a single industry should develop, at a minimum, one five forces analysis for its industry. Porter makes clear that for diversified companies, the first fundamental issue in corporate strategy is the selection of industries (lines of business) in which the company should compete; and each line of business should develop its own, industry-specific, five forces analysis. The average Global 1,000 company competes in approximately 52 industries (lines of business).

101. THE THREAT OF NEW ENTRANTS Profitable markets that yield high returns draws Firms. This results in many new entrants, and effectively decrease profitability. Unless the entry of new firms can be blocked by incumbents, the profit rate will fall towards a competitive level (perfect competition).
