India’s health care sector will change dramatically over the next few years. The pharmaceutical industry alone will reach a volume of 45 billion dollar by the year 2020. As the world’s largest supplier of generic drugs, India furthermore has the second largest number of USFDA-approved manufacturing facilities outside the US. The forecasts for the future of the biotechnology industry are similarly positive: By 2019, it is expected to reach a total sales volume of 10.7 billion dollar. The Indian government supports both of these key industries and promotes innovation, research and investment. The leading trade fairs analyticaAnacon India and India Lab Expo 2018 in Hyderabad from September 06 to 08 therefore offer the ideal platform for all manufacturers of analysis, laboratory and biotechnology products.
