C. MARKET POTENTIAL

The Indian pharmaceuticals market looks poised to grow to $55 billion in 2020, according to a new McKinsey & Company report — “India Pharma 2020: Propelling access and acceptance, realising true potential”. This will be a quadrupling of the market from the $12. billion the industry made in 2009. The report states that the pharma market has the further potential to reach $70 billion by 2020 if aggressive growth efforts are embraced.

Acknowledging existing discontinuities in global pharmaceuticals markets, the report says it is the BRIC countries, including India, that will lead growth in the coming decade. The other countries in the BRIC bloc are Brazil, Russia and China. The Indian pharmaceutical industry has been growing at 13-14 per cent in the past five years, a significant increase over the nine per cent growth witnessed between 2000 and 2005. According to the report, five new opportunities will capture 45 per cent of the market by 2020, growing from the $3-billion industry today to $14-18 billion in 2020. These are patented products, consumer healthcare, biologics, vaccines and public health. Metro and Tier-1 markets, which have been growing at 14-15 per cent in the last five years, will drive growth in the industry. They account for 60 per cent of the Indian pharmaceuticals market today and look set to continue growing to a market size of $33 billion by 2020. This will be the result of rapid urbanisation and the expansion of medical infrastructure. Rural markets, on the other hand, will constitute 25 per cent by 2020, up from 20 per cent currently, while Tier-2 markets will decline from the present share of 20 per cent to 15 per cent. Epidemiological factors such as an increased patient pool by 2020, increasing accessibility to drugs due to an increase in investment in medical infrastructure, a greater acceptance of new medicines and greater affordability are the drivers of this growth. Affordability will result in half of the forecasted growth, with rising incomes and increasing insurance coverage lowering the cost of drugs. Increases in income will result in an additional 73 million people in middle and upper class segments, while 650 million people will have health insurance by 2020. While private insurance will grow by 15 per

Paracetamol is extensively used in India. There are about 300 brand names for Paracetamol in India, which are sold in the market in the formulated form. Therefore, the market is highly competitive Indian demand for Paracetamol 250 00 tonnes per annum. Export demand 3000 tonnes per annum Total demand 28000 tonnes per annum In spite of the fact that the adequate capacity for Paracetamol in India, the product is still imported from China, mainly due to the price and credit terms offered. Growth rate in demand It can be reasonably projected that the growth rate in demand for Paracetamol would be in the region of 9 to 10% per annum in the coming years.

D. TECHNICAL ASPECTS

1. INSTALLED CAPACITY

The production capacity of Paracetamol is estimated at 0.8 tonne per day on 3 shift basis and the capacity works out to be 240 tonne per annum.

2. PLANT & MACHINERY Machine name Reactor Nutraliser Crystalliser Centrifuge

Tray drier Pulveriser Boiler Refrigerator Air compressor Vacuum pump Nutech filter Testing laboratory The total value of plant and machinery is estimated at Rs.160. lakhs on turn key basis.

3. MANUFACTURING PROCESS Two processes are generally used in the country for the manufacture of Paracetamol. i) From phenol ii) From Paranitrochlorobenzene From phenol The manufacture of Paracetamol involves preparation of para amino phenol as the first step and acetylation of para amino phenol to produce Paracetamol as the next step. Para amino phenol can be prepared from phenol by first converting the phenol to para nitro phenol with sodium nitrite and sulphuric acid and then converting the nitrosophenol to para amino phenol by reduction with sodium sulphide and ammonium carbonate. From Para NitroChloroBenzene 80% of the country's production is presently carried out by the Para nitro chloro benzene route.
