Sector Report – Pharmaceutical

Brazil has become one of the world’s largest and most strategically relevant pharmaceutical markets, but size alone does not tell the whole story.

With approximately US$30 billion in annual industry revenue, Brazil is the largest pharmaceutical market in Latin America and one of the ten largest globally. Structural demand continues to strengthen as the population ages, chronic diseases become more prevalent and access expands through both private healthcare and public programs.

At the same time, the composition of the market is changing. Biological medicines have grown at double-digit rates, patent expirations are opening significant new product categories to competition, and Brazilian pharmaceuticalcompanies are becoming increasingly active in acquisitions, licensing and portfolio expansion.

For international companies, however, Brazil remains a market in which regulatory approvals, pricing, distribution, and access can be as important as the product itself. The result is a market with significant barriers to entry, but also one in which the right local platform, partner or acquisition can create substantial strategic value.
