Introduction to Pharmaceuticals
• Pakistan meets 80% of its domestic demand of medicines from local
production and 20% through imports. The pharmaceuticals market size is
Rs. $ 3 billion approximately. The market for pharmaceuticals in Pakistan
has been expanding at a rate of around 10 to15% since last few years.
• Pakistan is also exporting its surplus drugs to a large number of countries
particularly to the East Asian & African regions and Central Asian States
with an expanding trade in the newly emerged markets.

Introduction to Pharmaceuticals
• Presently the pharmaceutical industry in Pakistan is producing all the major
pharmaceutical dosage forms. Similarly, there are some special products
e.g. immunological, anti-cancer drugs, antidotes and products
manufactured from biotechnology, which are still being imported, in the
finished form. These specific areas provide excellent opportunities for
investment. Only few bulk pharmaceutical raw materials are being
manufactured locally and most of the pharmaceutical raw materials are
being imported in large quantities from different countries of the world.
This sector also gives challenge to explore and avail the opportunities.

The Government regularly monitors the quality of drugs manufactured and marketed.
Inspectors of Drugs at the Federal as well as Provincial level conduct post-marketing
surveillance. For that purpose Drug Testing laboratories are established at the Federal as
well as Provincial levels. The Central Licensing/Registration Boards or the Provincial
Quality Control Board, as the case may be, for taking further action evaluate reports of the
Government Analysts. In case a drug fails to comply with standards and/or conditions of
registration it may result in the cancellation or suspension of a Drug Manufacturing
License or registration or legal proceedings in a Drug Court.

placed on the controlled list. For these a transparent system of price
revision has been developed allowing periodic across-the-board price
increases on account of the general rate of inflation and changes in the
exchange rate of the rupee, etc. In case of decontrolled category, a more
liberal system is in operation through which higher price increases are
allowed at regular intervals compared to the controlled category of drugs.
