India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has said the 14.1 per cent y-o-y growth in pharmaceutical market during June was led by a normalisation of demand post high growth months of April (51.5 per cent) and May (47.8 per cent).
This was because of the lower base effect and Covid-19 induced demand during the second wave. Ind-Ra expects the normalisation of demand to continue if pace of vaccination remains strong which can reduce instances disruptions in activities during future Covid-19 waves, if any.
The agency expects pharmaceutical market growth of over 10 per cent y-o-y for FY22. During 1Q FY22, the market reported growth of 37.2 per cent aided by lower base effect during 1Q FY21 which was impacted due to the nationwide lockdown.
