About the Industry Management Outlook The Indian pharmaceuticals industry is the third largest in terms of volume and thirteen largest in terms of value. It is estimated to grow at 2% CAGR over the next five years. Presently, the market size of the pharmaceutical industry in India stands at US$ 2 billion. Healthcare has become one of the India s largest sectors in revenue as well as employment. It comprises of areas such as medical devices, clinical trials, hospitals, medical equipments, health insurance, telemedicine, medical tourism etc. The sector is growing at a brisk pace due to its strengthening coverage, favourable demographics and increasing expenditure by public as well as private players. The overall Indian healthcare market today is worth US$ 1 billion and is expected to grow to US$ 28 billion by 22 at a CAGR of 22.9%. Healthcare delivery, which includes hospitals, nursing homes, diagnostics centres, and pharmaceuticals, constitutes 65% of the overall market. The hospital and diagnostic centers attracted Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) worth US$ 3.14 billion between April 2 and June 215, according to data released by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP). The Government of India has reduced the approval time for new facilities to boost investments. Further, it has introduced mechanisms such as the Drug Price Control Order and the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority to deal with the issue of affordability and availability of medicines. The Government of India plans to set up a US $64 million venture capital fund to boost discovery and strengthen pharmaceutical infrastructure. In addition, the thrust on rural health programmes, lifesaving drugs and preventive vaccines also augurs well for the healthcare companies. The private sector has emerged as a vibrant force in India's healthcare industry, lending it both national and international repute. There are ample of opportunities for players in the medical devices industry. The country has also become one of the leading destinations for high-end diagnostic services with tremendous capital investment for advanced diagnostic facilities, thus catering to a greater proportion of population. The demand for healthcare services in India is increasing owing to favourable demographics. There is significant scope for enhancing healthcare services considering that healthcare spending in the country, as a percentage of GDP is rising. Rural India, which accounts for over 7% of the population, is set to emerge as a potential demand source for these services. Span Diagnostics, which is engaged in the business of manufacturing, marketing and trading of diagnostics reagents, diagnostics instruments and allied products, witnessed a downward momentum in growth in FY 214-15 due to higher capital expenditure and aggressive competition. As a result, the Company decided to transfer its In Vitro Diagnostics undertaking to M/s. Arkray Healthcare Private Limited. Since, the Company has exited and transferred the IVD (In-Vitro Diagnosis) business in March 215; currently there is neither any research nor manufacturing activity taking place. It is now exploring business alternatives in Food and Healthcare segment. The Company has incorporated Dryfruit Factory LLP during the current quarter and the setting up process is initiated. The Indian Food industry is poised for huge growth due to the increasing demand, purchasing power and Export potential for the products. The Government has approved proposals for joint ventures (JV), foreign collaborations; industrial licenses and 1% export oriented units to encourage investments in the sector. Given the favourable outlook of the sector, the Company might fare satisfactorily in its new business. However, a clear picture of the Company s position in the market can be drawn only after it starts its business operations in this sector. An Initiative of the BSE Investors Protection Fund4
