Tapping into Opportunities in Developing Countries
Most of the pharmaceutical players are focusing on developing markets, due to the stagnation of the major markets and presence of a large number of local manufacturers, especially in developing countries.
Changes in disease pattern caused due to changes in the lifestyle, increase in disposable income, improved access to healthcare services, and increasing demand for high-quality healthcare make these markets highly profitable for pharmaceutical companies.
However, this trend is currently opposite in developed economies with sophisticated manufacturing practices, where demand for superior quality excipients is increasing.
An increase in the adoption of continuous processing of excipients, is also an ongoing trend in flavors into the over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals market. Continuous processing of excipients refers to flow production of the raw material without any kind of interruption.
Manufacturers Target towards Production Capacity Expansion
Over the past few years, major pharmaceutical companies have been expanding their external and internal capacity in production.
Outsourcing opportunities arise in all innovator, generic, as well as other markets for OTC medications.
Even though manufacturing technologies for OTC medications have rapidly matured in the past two decades, the manufacturing of low-margin OTC generics requires the usage of old technologies.
While major pharmaceutical companies are investing resources on newer technologies, the manufacturing of generic OTC drugs and branded over-the-counter drugs is being outsourced.
South Asia & East Asia Remain Prominent Markets
South Asia and East Asia are expected to show significant growth of the flavors in over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals market. A large portion of the population of Asia remains undertreated, majorly due to the unavailability of effective prescribed drugs, and this is providing growth opportunities for the flavors into over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals market.
