a rapidly emerging, export-oriented and most beneficial sector. And lack of fierce
competition in international market is providing a firm basis to their belief.

Manufacturers Association (PPMA), reported about the Pakistani pharmaceutical
industry’s development and future prospects.

India and China are two low-cost drug manufacturers. Pakistan, unfortunately, is
located between these two countries. But now, Pakistan is all set for the action.
For the past 10 years, the nation has been establishing its drug-manufacturing
units, infrastructure and export capabilities.

29 international pharmaceutical players have their facilities functioning in
Pakistan. The total worth of pharmaceutical industry of Pakistan is estimated at $
1.5 Billion.

Saeed, while highlighting the advantages of establishing the drug-manufacturing
units in Pakistan, stated that the country has a low-cost base and the cost of
converting generic drugs into their more famous derivatives is among the lowest in
the world. He further pointed out that the ideal location of the country at the
world’s center makes it cost-efficient in terms of freight costs.

of the manufactured drugs and to govern the authentication of exported drugs.
