India is rapidly emerging as one of the fastest-growing health economies in the world, projected to rank among the top three global healthcare markets with an estimated value of £480 billion by 2025. At the core of this transformation is India’s pharmaceutical sector, now valued at approximately £55 billion, and forecasted to reach £73 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.92%.
