Pharmerging shake-upNEW IMPERATIVES IN A REDEFINED WORLD

China, anticipated to be the sixth largest pharmaceuticalmarket by 2011, growing at a compound annual growthrate of 14% from 2006-2011.

TODAY’S REALITY

In the three years since the pharmerging markets werefirst called out for their high growth potential, ongoingchange and new developments have continued to roil thecommercial pharmaceutical landscape: patents have beenexpiring at a significant rate while the industry hasstruggled to find new sources of revenue to fill the gap;generics have been increasing their volume penetration;the biotech industry – a key growth area – has becomechronically underfunded; and everywhere governmentshave been applying tighter restrictions on theirpharmaceutical markets. At the same time, performance inthe major developed markets has continued to slow,further widening the regional gap in pharmaceuticalgrowth contribution.

The worldwide economic crisis has also made its markto varying degrees, adding a new layer of complexity tothe already challenging environment. In many of theemerging countries, the level of patient self-pay versuspublic funding is high and unprecedented pressures havedriven significant shifts in healthcare policy. Hardest hithave been countries that are highly dependent on oil andnatural resources. Russia, for example, with 40% of GDPdriven by revenue from oil and gas, has felt the impact ofthe recession considerably and is now facing change on anumber of fronts including a pending realignment ofpharmaceutical prices, potentially tighter restrictions onpromotional activity, and a redistribution of influencethrough the supply chain.

Turkey, too, has been hit by recent events. Decreasedprices, strict cost-containment measures, and furtherpending changes to pricing and reimbursement are

More than three years have passed since IMS Health firstcoined the term “pharmerging market” in recognition ofthe major shift in growth away from the mature,developed economies to the seven fast-growingemerging economies of China, Brazil, Russia, India,Mexico, Turkey, and South Korea. Meanwhile, majordevelopments and global recession have driven disparaterates of evolution in each of these countries. With a newraft of pharmerging markets now rapidly rising to thefore, the need for action and informed direction hasnever been greater. In response to the unprecedentedchange, and marking a major redefinition of thepharmerging market opportunity, IMS provides theclearest pointers yet to the selection criteria, investmentpriorities, and critical factors for long-term success.

YESTERDAY’S OUTLOOK

In November 2006, IMS Health recognized a seismicshift in the pharmaceutical markets of the world; ageographic swing away from the major developed powers of the U.S., Japan, France, Germany, Italy, theUK, Spain and Canada to a set of new, dynamic,“pharmerging” markets. Those singled out for theirexceptional performance and outstanding prospects forgrowth – China, Brazil, Russia, India, Mexico, Turkeyand South Korea – were expanding at twice the worldaverage rate at that time. Importantly, they were expectedto represent 12% of the global pharmaceutical market by2011 and contribute close to 20% of globalpharmaceutical growth from 2006-20111 marking acritical signpost to the future direction of thepharmaceutical business worldwide.

Such was the promise of the pharmerging markets in2006 that each was forecast to grow in excess of 7.5%through 2011, collectively representing US$58bn in newgrowth. The biggest potential rewards were seen in

PHARMERGING SHAKE-UP: NEW IMPERATIVES IN A RE-DEFINED WORLD

challenging levels of profitability for pharmaceuticalmanufacturers, driving down expectations of growth inthis market to around 5% through 2013. The Mexicanmarket, while sustaining opportunities from an ageingpopulation, expanded healthcare coverage and incidencegrowth in key diseases, is also feeling the impact ofseveral issues. These include government pressure onpricing, growing use of generics, and lower brand loyaltyto original brands that are due to go off-patent.

Other markets, meanwhile, have continued to gatherpace. China’s high economic and healthcare growth, forexample, has accelerated. The market achieved absolutegrowth of 27% through 2009, 13% more than wasanticipated in 2006, making its profile quite distinct fromall other pharmerging markets. South Korea, too, hasbeen gaining ground, now sharing characteristics of themajor developed nations. In aggregate, the sevenpharmerging markets contributed 29% of global growthin 2009 compared to the 20% anticipated, underscoringthe highly dynamic nature of this sector.

Positive developments elsewhere in the world are alsohelping to reshape the pharmaceutical landscape. Inregions as far flung as Latin America and Asia, EasternEurope and North Africa, a new set of emergingeconomies are now rapidly rising to the fore. FromPoland to Pakistan, Venezuela to Vietnam, a further 13 nations have now reached a threshold of economicdevelopment and volume of future growth that warrantclose and immediate attention.

Collectively, the pharmerging markets undoubtedly offerhigh potential, with rising GDPs, expanding access tohealthcare and an improving IP and regulatoryenvironment in many cases. Nevertheless, they arefraught with hurdles. Local companies are strong andentrenched, domestic products well-established, andgenerics dominate the market in a growing number ofcountries. Patients invariably bear the highest share ofhealthcare spend, making issues of willingness and abilityto pay key in these low income countries. And, goingforward, a stronger focus on cost-containment and tightergovernment controls over pricing can be expected.

Against this background of change and challenge, the need for clarity and informed direction has neverbeen greater.

PHARMERGING OPPORTUNITY REDEFINED

In a major re-classification of global pharmaceuticalmarkets, IMS has conducted a groundbreaking newanalysis to bring the clearest characterization yet of thecurrent prospects and future priorities for pharmergingmarket growth.

The study first divided the global economy intodeveloped and emerging sectors, using a per capita GDP threshold of US$25,000. Countries classified asemerging were then sub-divided using a composite ofmacroeconomic metrics and market data including GDPand forecasts from IMS Market Prognosis, which arebased on a rigorous evaluation of the key eventsimpacting the pharmaceutical and healthcare industriesworldwide. The new and refined definition rankedpharmerging markets on the basis of their minimumanticipated added value to the total pharmaceuticalmarket between now and 2013 (Figure 1).

Tier 1: China – in a league of its ownWith absolute GDP of US$7.9 trillion in 2008 and apharmaceutical market that is expected to drive US$40billion in growth through 2013, the powerhouse of Chinais positioned firmly at the forefront of the pharmergingmarkets. Currently the third largest world economy andrapidly moving closer to Japan, it is predicted to surpassthe U.S. in GDP to become the world’s leading economyby 20272. China is already the largest market for severalkey industry sectors, including automobiles, mobile phones and TVs.

Fueled by a massive population of 1.3 billion people,aggressive government spending on healthcare and anincreasing demand for drugs to treat chronic diseases,China’s pharmaceutical sector grew by an astonishing 26%in 2008. At the heart of its healthcare transformation is alandmark US$125 billion incremental governmentfunding, targeting substantial improvement to the nation’shealthcare infrastructure and near universal health coverageby 2011 – a move that is projected to double the size ofChina’s pharmaceutical market through 2013.Nevertheless, the operating environment remains complexand challenging, exacerbated by increased localcompetition, evolving government intervention on drugpricing and uncertainty around healthcare reforms.

Tier 2: Brazil, Russia, India – hot on the heelsWith GDP of between US$2-4 trillion in 2008, Brazil,Russia and India are each expected to add US$5-15billion to the pharmaceutical market through 2013.Prospects aside, balancing the relative benefits and risksof these markets will be paramount to developing a clearposition for successful entry or expansion.

Brazil has achieved consistent double-digitpharmaceutical growth over the last few years,continuing at 20% in 2008. The market benefits from ahigh percentage (85%) of city dwellers, where access tomedicines is higher, public health insurance coveringaround 90% of the population, and increased uptake ofsupplementary private health insurance. However, out-of-pocket healthcare costs are high and incomedistribution is poor, limiting the number of people whocan pay for innovative therapies. The local environmenthas seen a number of recent changes, including growingcompetition from generic medicines, increasedgovernment investment in state-owned pharmaceuticalplants, and greater emphasis on cost-containmentinitiatives which tend to favor local companies.

The Russian market has also experienced high double-digit growth in recent years and offers clear potentialfrom increased private insurance and positivedevelopments in the reimbursement system. Physicianeducation is also improving although poor knowledge ofprevention, diagnosis and treatment at primary care leveland the overall lack of clinical standards and guidelinesstill impede successful management of chronic disease.High prices, increasing government influence over drugprescribing, and powerful lobbies in favor of localmanufacturers are also a feature of this market.

In India, a number of recent developments have been ofbenefit to outside manufacturers, not least theestablishment of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), aswell as a rising middle class population, emerging ruralmarkets and improvements in medical infrastructure.

Tier 3: Fast followers Following fast in the wake of the Tier 1 and Tier 2markets are a group of 13 far flung nations ranging fromArgentina to Egypt, Pakistan to Poland, and the Ukraineto Vietnam. Generating GDP of under US$2 trillion in2008, with an anticipated cumulative contribution ineach market of US$1-5 billion through 2013, thesehitherto lesser known pharmaceutical markets offer richopportunities for growth.

Romania, for example, has been a consistently high-performing market relative to its Central and EasternEuropean (CEE) peers and is currently growing at nearly23%. Notwithstanding a reduction in the healthcarebudget and challenging new price regulations, a numberof major changes will positively impact thepharmaceutical sector over the next few years. Theseinclude improvements in public hospital quality, increasesin health insurance contributions, healthcaredecentralization, expanded reimbursement forpensioners, and healthcare screening for chronic diseases.

Although highly fragmented and with ongoing concernsover drug registration and IP protection, Vietnam is alsoan attractive market. There are expanding opportunitiesin the 65+ patient category, an enlarging privateinsurance market, and increased public funding that willsignificantly boost growth in the hospital sector.

Egypt, too, while long overdue for increased healthcareinvestment and tighter IP regulations, offers risingpotential with a fast-growing population, widespreadaccess to healthcare, significant growth in the dominantretail market and a relatively quick drug approvalprocess. And Argentina’s combination of high healthcarespending, an attractive market access environment, andexpanding elderly population are all conducive toincreased sales growth, despite IP issues, public sectorinefficiencies and a sizeable number of uninsuredpatients.

POWER SWING GATHERS MOMENTUM

The huge swing of power to the 17 pharmergingmarkets is set to intensify as they continue to gain shareat the expense of the U.S. and top five Europeanmarkets. Superpowered by China, shored by Brazil,Russia and India, and spurred by the impetus of the newTier 3 fast followers, these markets have delivered anoutstanding 37% of global growth in 2009, and areforecasted to reach as much as 48% by 2013 (Figure 2).

With the key essentials in place to drive the marketforward, these traditionally peripheral economies aregearing up to turn the tables on the establishedpharmaceutical world order (Figure 3). For many yearssimply a minor concern, the pharmerging marketsegment is fast becoming the platform that will carryglobal pharmaceutical performance through the nextdecade and beyond.

PHARMERGING SHAKE-UP: NEW IMPERATIVES IN A RE-DEFINED WORLD

IMPERATIVE FOR ACTION

The dramatic change in the rank order of countries thatwill drive future growth brings a renewed sense ofurgency to the management agenda of an industryalready under pressure. Experience points to clearadvantages for the early movers; companies that take thelead in market entry can often reap the benefits of morediscernible differentiation and earlier local entrenchmentcompared to those that choose to wait. For allpharmaceutical manufacturers comes the need to lookafresh at their pharmerging strategy; fundamentallyreassess their geographic portfolios to take account of thecomplexities of each market and their likely evolutionover time; and determine where, when and how tocapture business before the growth opportunities plateau.Three key elements will be critical to success:

1. Acknowledge and address the urgencyTo date, multinational performance in the pharmergingsector has been mixed. A few high-profilepharmaceutical companies have been quick to gain afoothold, several with notable success in generatinggrowth. Among the early movers were Swiss-basedNycomed which, having entered the Russian market in

the early 1990s is now ranked number 11 amongRussian pharmas. Bayer, too, has achieved much of itsrecent growth from investments in China and Turkey.

Elsewhere, there are signs that more companies arepositioning themselves to build or buy market share inthe pharmerging markets. Recent examples include theSanofi-Aventis acquisition of generics manufacturers inBrazil (Medley) and Mexico (Kendrick), making theFrench company Latin America’s leader in this market;similarly, GSK’s expanded partnership with Aspen has pavedthe way for its increased access to the wider Africanmarket; more recently still, Novartis has committed tomajor investments in China, including US$1bn on R&Dover the next five years and $125 million to buy an 85%stake in a privately held vaccine company.

Overall, European pharmas have generally fared betterthan their U.S.-based counterparts in establishing a localpresence. Novartis, Bayer and Novo Nordisk, forexample, have all achieved good penetration in Russiawhile many U.S. players have yet to play catch up.Again, there are signs of positive change in this direction,heralded by Pfizer’s recent announcement of a greaterpush into emerging markets, including China, Mexico,Turkey, Brazil, and India, as well as Russia.

By and large, however, most global drug companiesremain under-exposed and under-performing in thepharmerging markets, despite the fact that these newgrowth engines account for nearly half of the globalpopulation. In 2009, the world’s top 15 pharmaceuticalmanufacturers derived just 0.9% of their combined salesfrom China; 2.9% from the Tier 2 markets of Brazil,India and Russia; and 5.6% from the Tier 3 markets.3

In many cases, this reflects a continued focus on thepremium section of the market rather than the typicallylarger branded generics segment. There are signs that thisis beginning to change with some manufacturers nowexploring options for operating in the generics sector.

Clearly, however, securing only single-digit percentagesof annual sales from markets that offer a virtual cleanslate for pharmaceutical investment leaves significantpotential untapped. Companies must act now and act fastto respond to the market changes and seize theopportunities within them.

2. Understand and embrace the complexity Getting to grips with the many factors that differentiatethe pharmerging markets, not only from those in thedeveloped sector but also from each other, is a keypriority. Dynamic, volatile and liable to rapid change,these are highly complex and disparate markets andcompanies in search of fast and easy gains will findthemselves on perilous ground.

Despite the fact that Argentina, Poland, and Thailand, forexample, are all expected to add between US$2-3 billionin sales through 2013, from an economic, healthcare,regulatory, P&R and market access perspective they arequite divergent. Where Argentina’s drug approval processis among the fastest in the world, in Thailand registrationtypically takes one to two years; while the Polish marketis dominated by public health insurance, in Argentinapatients and their employers bear the lion’s share of totalhealthcare costs in the form of insurance premiums andout-of-pocket payments; and while Thailand is only justincreasing its focus on containing drug costs throughpricing, in Poland reimbursed drugs are already subjectto regular discretionary price cuts.

Similarly, disease profiles, treatment paradigms anddiagnostic rates in the pharmerging markets are not onlynoticeably different from those of the major developedcountries but also subtly distinct between the various

tiers. Discrete differences in key market segments,including the role of generics, are a further challenge.Even at country level within the different groupings,disparities are apparent. Each environment is unique.Thus, what is important in China will be very differentto what matters in Russia, Indonesia and elsewhere.

Extensive geographic diversity within countries adds afurther layer of complexity. Russia, for example, is a vastand diverse geography with 26 regions and pockets ofwealth but many much poorer cities; equally, the widedifferential between areas and cities across China, eachwith their own characteristics, physician attitudes, driversof prescribing, and levels of income and affordabilityunderscores the importance of building city and region-based strategies when expanding in this market. Lack ofuniformity in implementing government guidelines isalso an issue, making on-the-ground knowledge of eachlocal situation critical.

The competitive arena in pharmerging markets is alsovery different to that in the mature countries, withpower in the hands of local companies who know theoperating environment well. While the largemultinational pharmaceutical companies have no doubtincreased their presence in China, for example, theycontinue to be outnumbered and outperformed by localmanufacturers with their strong geographic reach, widedistribution networks, flexible promotional methods, andclose engagement with local governments and hospitals.

Understanding the divergence and distinctiveness of thepharmerging markets will be essential to judicious andrewarding investment in the opportunities they offer.Due focus on generating timely, relevant, on-the-groundinsights into their health system dynamics, the nationaland local economic situation, the degree of infrastructuredevelopment, regulatory or government controls, pricingand market access issues, and evolving competitivedynamics will be key to this process.

3. Adapt and tailor your strategySince every pharmerging economy is unique and no onecountry can be defined as a single market, adaptabilityand customization are key. This means choosing the rightportfolio to ensure alignment with the high growthopportunities and local customer needs; building theright sales and distribution model, with the right balanceof depth and breadth to increase productivity and ROI;

setting the right pricing and market access strategies thatwill maximize product value; and establishing the rightpeople and leadership to ensure successful execution onthe ground.

As companies look to accelerate their plans forinvestment they must focus quickly on differentiationand use this to drive the value of their business forward.Already there are benchmarks and models for success:

• In Latin America, Novartis and AstraZeneca havetaken innovative steps to improve market accessthrough discounts and extra customer service,introducing customer service cards to drive moreprescriptions in the region.

• Novo Nordisk has raised its profile in Russia byincreasing disease awareness of diabetes in the form of amobile test center accessible to all parts of the population.

• Local adaptation has enabled Novartis to become theleading player in Russia. The company’s strong focuson OTC and generics, its local acquisitions, the solidbase of human resources it has built and its strongcommitment to the establishment of local governmentrelationships have been key to the company’s success.

• The ability to adapt to the local market has beencentral to Bayer’s success in China; by continuouslyinvesting in mature products such as Glucobay (fordiabetes) and Adalat (for hypertension) the companyhas been able to achieve a dominant position in thesehigh-growth therapy areas and now derives 3% of itsglobal revenue from China. Superior local executioncapabilities and a stable senior leadership team havealso played an important role in Bayer’s performancein this market.

GOING FORWARD

As current growth trends continue to materially alter thesize and structure of the global pharmaceutical landscape,the dramatic swing in power to the pharmergingmarkets, which was first brought to light by IMS Healthin 2006, will only intensify.

Despite some detours in their rate and pace of evolutionsince then, the fundamentals of these burgeoningeconomies remain strong. Comprehensive reanalysis ofthe market indicates that 17 high-performingpharmerging nations, amounting to around 16% of thetotal world market or US$123 billion in 2009, are aboutto overturn the established pharmaceutical world order.Rich in opportunities and growth potential, no companycan afford to ignore them. But theirs is a constantlyevolving story; more changes can be expected,competitive pressures are increasing, the challenges aremany and the clock is ticking fast.

Success in the new world order requires an urgent andmajor reassessment of strategic goals in recognition ofthe fact that the future pharmaceutical industry will be avery different one from the past. Companies must focus their time and energy on re-evaluating their priorities inthe pharmerging markets and building the necessaryorganizational competencies to embrace thecomplexities, tailor their portfolios, and adapt theirbusiness models accordingly.

With the right fundamentals in place, and the ability tofulfill tactical execution efficiently, they can bepositioned to pursue and leverage the pharmergingmarkets as the major source of growth they represent.
