Subject: Pharmexcil’s Business Delegation to Australia and New Zealand (22nd July-26th July 2019)
You are kindly aware that Pharmexcil endeavours to explore opportunities for its member companies in global markets through its activities like participation in exhibitions, engagements with Regulatory authorities and organizing Buyer-Seller’s meet.
While we continue to focus on developing less regulated markets, the significance of more regulated and highly evolved markets cannot be lost out as they are high value markets and adds immense credibility to Brand India Pharma.
For the first time Pharmexcil proposes to mount a business delegation to Australia and New Zealand in the month of July 2019 as per the following schedule:

· Australia’s pharmaceutical market is set to rise from just over $22.85 billion in 2016 to $25.2 billion by 2020, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2%, according to research and consulting firm Global Data.
· In terms of the generics market, the emphasis being placed by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) on the usage of generics will spur growth.
· The most money spent per capita, by class of pharmaceutical (other than products not elsewhere classified) was on anti-infectives for systemic use, at $US90 per capita (adjusted for purchasing power parity). This class includes pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics, vaccines, antifungals and antivirals. Australia spent the most per capita on anti-infectives for systemic use compared with 30 other OECD countries (US$90 per capita at purchasing power parity)
· In terms of pharmaceutical consumption, in Australia the defined daily dosage per 1,000 inhabitants per day was highest for cardiovascular system pharmaceuticals (372 doses). This was also the most commonly consumed pharmaceutical on average across the OECD, though the OECD average daily dosage per 1,000 inhabitants was higher, at 444 doses
· The proportion of the total reimbursed pharmaceutical market classed as generic pharmaceuticals in Australia was lower than the OECD average (19% compared with 24% based on value; 37% compared with 49% based on volume). Based on value, the share of generic pharmaceuticals in the reimbursed pharmaceutical market was highest in Austria (48%) and based on volume was highest in the United Kingdom (85%).

All New Zealand residents are covered by a national public health system, and approximately 80 % of all health expenditure is publically financed. A well-regulated system of privately owned pharmacies supplies outpatient pharmaceuticals, while inpatient pharmaceuticals are provided in secondary care facilities. New Zealand does not use pharmaceutical price controls, leaving prices to be determined by negotiation. However, the public health system has a very effective
monopsony purchaser, the Pharmaceutical Management Agency of New Zealand (PHARMAC).
