PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY 2 HIGHLIGHTS OF VIETNAM PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRYThe industry in the growth period Increasing consumption: From 2001 2008, consumption of pharmaceutical products of Vietnamhad anaverage growthrateof19.9%/year.Ifthegrowthratein2002was15% yoyonly,thatin2008was25.5%yoy.Thetotalrevenueofthemarketin2008reached 1.4 billion USD, accounting for 1.6% of the GDP.

While spending on pharmaceuticals in 1998 was USD 5.5/person, that in 2008wasUSD16.45/person,athreefoldincreasecomparedto1998.Basedonthe additional income proportion only, it can be seen that people are spending more on drugs. Atpresent,foreachadditionaldollarinincome(aboutVND17,000),Vietnamesepeople setaside1cent(about170dongs)fordrugs(orabout1%oftheadditionalincome proportion).Productiongrowth:Withincreasingdemandforpharmaceuticalproducts,companiesin the industry are expanding their production (output of 2007 rose 26% compared to 2006).

There are also 6 companies which manufacture vaccine and healthcare products. Recently, mostofpharmaceuticalcompanieshaveaccumulatedrelativelysignificantamountof capitalfromtheincreaseinconsumptionoutputandissuesofshares.Thus,domestic companies are able to continue to invest in production capacity enhancement. Increase of standardized companies. At present, standards in the pharmaceutical sector in Vietnam are categorized into GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) and GSP (Good Storage Practice).UnderWTOcommitments,bytheendof210,Vietnamesepharmaceuticalcompaniesaresubjected to meet WTO production standards (GMP-WHO standards). Otherwise, they will beobligedtoceaseproduction.By2008,52%ofpharmaceuticalcompanies(including thosemanufacturingnewandorientalpharmaceuticals)metthestandardsofGMP-WHO; in which 51% and 63% of companies met the GLP and GSP standards.

PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY 4Pharmaceutical materials exported to Vietnam Types of imported pharmaceutical materials Source: Trade Review magazine Source: Trade Review magazine With too much dependence on imported materials, the Vietnam pharmaceutical industry incurs a lot of risks, particularly risks from exchange rate difference, price swings, material quality and trading.Risksfromexchangeratedifference.In2008,mostofpharmaceuticalcompanies incurredlossesduetounexpectedexchangeratedifference.Asfaraswecansee, pharmaceutical companies at present have not got specific plans to prevent risks from exchange rate differences in the future.

Pharmaceutical materials imported fromChinainvolvehiddenrisksintermsofquality.However,theseriskscanbe prevented if domestic companies follow closely quality control processes.

In 2008, spendingondrugsinhospitalswasVND12.322billion(correspondingtoUSD760 million), accounting for about 50% of the total value of drugs in the market.On the basis of pharmaceutical compounding patents, pharmaceutical products are dividedintogenericdrugs(thosewhosepatentsareexpired)andpatentdrugs(those whosepatentsareineffect).Atpresent,thedomesticpharmaceuticalindustryis producing genericdrugsoflowvalues,accountingfor69%ofthetotalmarketshare, particularlyantibioticsandgenericdrugssuchasvitamins,pain-reliefdrugsand antipyretic drugs.Typical distribution networkThepharmaceuticalindustrygetsaccesstoconsumersthroughtreatmentdistribution system and commercial distribution network.

Besides such issues as technologies, the pharmaceutical chemistry industry is also facing a number of difficulties. Financialissues. Productioncost ofanewactive elementis ratherhigh, about more than100billiondongs.Meanwhile,thebudgetoftheStateandothercompaniesfor research is rather limited.Legal issues.

Development of new products of domestic pharmaceutical companies is R&C only Atpresent,Vietnampharmaceuticalindustryisatlevel2.5outofthetotal5levelsof technological advance. At this stage, almost all of drugs produced are generic types (those whose technological patents have expired). In this context, we temporarily call the research and production of new drug products of Vietnam R&C (research and copy). Statistics on expenses of a number of leading companies below have reflected the fact that there are lots of limits in R&D activities of the pharmaceutical industry.

Thus, they are put in the list of goods under price control by the Government of Vietnam.According to regulations of the Drug Administration of Vietnam, companies are subjected to register the selling prices of drugs at the Drug Administration on the basis of their annual productioncosts.Iftherearestrongpriceswingsofinputmaterials,drugmanufacturing companiesareentitledtoapplytothelocalhealthcaredepartmentforadjustmentsofthe prices.
