Rising number of healthcare start-ups and increasing focus on R&D market are the critical factors attributed to the market expansion.   

The value of medicines is becoming more and more important; pharmaceutical companies are more than ever interested in ensuring R&D achieves their intended goal. The number of new drugs approved each year has also increased over the last decade. On average, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved 38 new drugs annually from 2010 to 2019. This is 60% higher than the annual average for the last 10 years. Efforts are being made to achieve greater effectiveness and efficiency in meeting patients' needs. For example, there are studies to identify drugs that can improve a patient's experience and quality of life in a more meaningful way. Recent studies have estimated average R&D costs per new drug are less than US$ 1 billion to over USD 2 billion per drug. These estimates include the cost of laboratory and clinical trials of successful new drugs and drugs that enter clinical trials but fail or do not go through the laboratory development phase. These top trends transform the pharmaceutical industry and can have short-term and long-term implications. Further, this market in the region is expected to grow owing to the population size, especially the elderly population, per capita GDP, health care costs, regulatory systems, and morbidity. However, factors such as high failure rates of developing a new drug, falling returns on investment, and cut-throat competition among market players may restrain the market growth during the forecasted period.

On the contrary, high competition among market players hurdles the growth of Asia Pacific mid-size pharmaceutical market market.
