New Healthcare market report from Business Monitor International: "Russia Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare Report Q3 2014"

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 06/30/2014 --Pharmaceutical companies will act to further localise pharmaceutical production in Russia over the medium term. We see further protectionist measures on the horizon in the wake of the Crimea crisis, as the government wishes to end its reliance on imports and have more direct control over its pharmaceutical supply. Over the longer term, the country's ageing population and significant disease burden will act to underpin pharmaceutical expenditure growth. However, we are increasingly concerned about the sustainability of Russia's healthcare expenditure given the economic reliance on government oil and gas revenues.

Headline Expenditure Projections

- Pharmaceuticals: RUB786.50bn (USD24.68bn) in 2013 to RUB896.67bn (USD25.47bn) in 2014; +14.0% in local currency terms and 3.2% in US dollar terms. US dollar forecasts revised downward from Q214 due to currency devaluation.

- Healthcare: RUB4,368bn (USD137.06bn) in 2013 to RUB4,608bn (USD130.91bn) in 2014; 5.5% in local currency terms and -4.5% in US dollar terms. Figures revised downwards from Q314 due to revisions to historical WHO data and changes to currency forecast.
