CPhI South East Asia Helping To Boost Regional Economy

CPhI event showcases holistic picture of South East Asia pharma industry and releases Indonesia Pharmaceuticals 2015 Report

Amsterdam, 24 March 2015:CPhI South East Asia - #CPhIASEAN, organised by UBM EMEA, will take place at the Jakarta International Expo, Indonesia, from 8th-10th April 2015. The event, now in its fourth edition, is co-located with P-MEC and InnoPack to provide an unparalleled regional platform for domestic/international buyers and suppliers to meet, network and boost up the pharmaceutical sector in the South East Asian region.

In 2014, #CPhIASEAN, welcomed 240 exhibitors and over 6,000 visitors. This year, organisers expect to mirror 2014’s numbers – which was the most successful event to date.

The remarkable growth of the Indonesian pharma market – a central hub for pharmaceuticals in South East Asia – has provided an increasing international outlook, which has caught the attention of many overseas companies looking to capitalise on this evolving industry. This change is reflected in the increasing number of international visitors – a total of 38 countries will be represented on the show floor, against 23 in the previous year – including USA, India, Japan and China.

Indonesia’s pharmaceutical market continues to thrive; it reached US$6.5 billion in 2014 and is maintaining an annual growth rate of 12.5% until 2018. The consumption of over-the-counter (OTC) drugs is continually on the rise in Indonesia and, on top of that, the implementation of Government initiatives from 2014 are now sparking an increased drug demand. Therefore, the Indonesian market holds a huge growth opportunity for both domestic and foreign companies. CPhI South East Asia provides the perfect platform for business opportunities to be started or fostered across the region.

CPhI South East Asia 2015 highlights include, but are not limited to:

• “CPhI/GBR Indonesia Pharmaceuticals 2015 - Industry explorations”: an original report produced by CPhI in-cooperation with Global Business Reports (GBR);

• Conferences: An integrated conference platform, featuring valuable modules including ‘Healthcare Plans across South East Asia’ and ‘Roadmap of Indonesian Pharmaceutical Industry 2015 – 2025’;

• Supplier Finder Desk: a free time-saving, effective method of finding new business partners onsite

“CPhI South East Asia provides direct access to the thriving ASEAN pharmaceutical market that continues to grow year-on-year. Indonesia is projected to be the fastest-growing ASEAN economy and is attracting more and more global pharma players, making this the perfect location for international buyers and suppliers to meet and break into this dynamic market.” Chris Kilbee, Group Director Pharma.
