New Healthcare market report from Business Monitor International: "Indonesia Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare Report Q2 2014"

 

Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/09/2014 -- The launch of the universal healthcare system in Indonesia is generally positive for pharmaceutical firms, particularly domestic firms that commercialise generic drugs.

We maintain that the rollout of the scheme will be challenging, given logistical and human resources issues in the country. We also note that while companies can expect to generate revenues as a result of the scheme's rollout, the operating environment holds risks, such as the weakened rupiah and political uncertainties.

Headline Expenditure Projections

- Pharmaceuticals: IDR63,806bn (US$6.11bn) in 2013 to IDR69,463bn (US$5.87bn) in 2014; +8.9% growth in local currency terms and -3.9% in US dollar terms.
- Healthcare: IDR248,149bn (US$23.75bn) in 2013 to IDR274,173bn (US$23.17bn) in 2014; +10.5% growth in local currency terms and -2.5% in US dollar terms.

Risk/Reward Rating

In our latest Q214 proprietary Pharmaceutical Risk/Reward Rating (RRR) ratings, Indonesia ranks 13th out of the 19 Asia Pacific markets. Though its Rewards are considered to be above than the regional average, Indonesia's Risks profile is considerably more unfavourable, which will continue to detract foreign players from investing in the country's pharmaceutical market.
