2. Introduction: Pharmacy Sector
The pharmaceutical industry develops, produces,
and markets drugs or pharmaceuticals licensed for
use as medications. Pharmaceutical companies are
allowed to deal in generic or brand medications and
medical devices.
The Pharmaceutical industry has grown from mere
US$o.3 billion turnover in 1980 to 15 billion in 2012-
2013.
Globally, India ranks 3rd in terms of volume of
production(10 per cent of global share) and 14th
largest by value. (1.5 per cent of global share)
The reason for lower value share is the lowest cost of
drugs in India ranging from 5 to 50 per cent less as
compared to developed countries.

specialty generic pharma company
No. 1 pharma company in India with leadership
position in 13 specialty segments

Daiichi Sankyo to become the second largest
shareholder in Sun Pharma
10. Why Ranbaxy?
Ranbaxy has got a lot of ANDA's (Abbreviated
New Drug Application) approved for marketing in
USA. Their problem is to find an API plant
because main source of API was from Toansa. If
Sun Pharma fills this gap, Ranbaxy can begin its
export to the USA. So, Sun Pharma has got into
this deal at the right time and deal has an upside
for all the shareholders.
Sun Pharma’s managing director Dilip Shanghvi
has acquired a reputation for acquiring
companies in trouble at a good price, and then
turning around their operations
11. Why Daichi sold Ranbaxy ?
Daiichi faced criticism after Ranbaxy’s plants
came under the US Food and Drug
Administration’s (FDA’s)
Ranbaxy’s inability to overcome its FDA-related
problems has put pressure on its promoters.
With Sun Pharma acquiring Ranbaxy, Daiichi is
relieved of the burden of managing Ranbaxy’s
problems. It will hold a 9% stake in Sun Pharma,
as a result of its current stake in Ranbaxy.

and regulatory clearances.

the USDFA for violations of manufacturing norms.

19. Conclusion
That was the right time for Sun Pharma to buy
Ranbaxy. Ranbaxy's problem with US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) cannot get more intense than
they are already, things can only improve from now
onwards. There will be tremendous synergy between
the two companies when they are merged as single
entity. It will be the largest Indian generic company
and the fifth largest in the world.
The merger will see Sun Pharma’s revenue jump by a
healthy 40% but its operating profit will rise by a
meagre 7.5%, based on pro forma 2013 financials. Its
operating profit margin will decline from 44.1% to
29.2%. Thus, the merger will have a negative effect
on its performance in the near term.
