About the sector

How pharmaceutical foreign trade moves today

The pharmaceutical sector combines strict regulation, global supply chains and demand that never stops. Four factors set the pace of the sector today:

Strict regulation

Sanitary requirements, registrations and approvals that condition each import and open or close markets.

Cold chain

Specialized logistics with high costs and limited suppliers that impact price and availability.

Patents & generics

Patent expiry creates opportunities in generics and redefines origin-based competition.

Critical supply

High concentration of APIs in a few origins creates vulnerability to supply disruptions.

Can I use it to negotiate with API suppliers?
