Asia set to become the no. 1 consumer of pharmaceuticals
Companies are being advised to learn the risks and opportunities associated with marketing pharmaceuticals in Asia. See the complete story here. According to a recent study by PricewaterhouseCoopers, the pharmaceutical companies need to get established in Asia to really understand the market and its dynamics.
In addition to this call to have an on-the-ground presence, protecting intellectual property is still a valid concern as more government regulation and protection is needed. Governments are issuing various incentives to promote regional investment by pharmaceutical companies.
With an opportunity this great, how can a publicly-held pharmaceutical company not try to navigate the risk for its shareholders?
