With a fast-growing middle class and several markets opening up, Asia offers great opportunities for pharmaceutical companies. However, the region faces a constantly changing regulatory framework, pressure on government budgets and an influx of non-generic and counterfeit products.
In this highly complex market, we use our market and industry expertise to develop customized growth strategies for pharma companies of any size. We understand that one size doesn’t fit every situation. This is why we develop customized and integrated solutions for your business success across Asia.
Whether you are looking to launch in a new market, DKSH is your reliable and trustworthy outsourcing partner. Some of our current pharmaceutical clients include Bayer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Roche and Sanofi.
We also help customers (chain pharmacies, personal care stores, hospitals, clinics) to grow their business in new and existing markets by providing access to high-quality products, staff training and customer services, like consignment inventory management at the customer level.
For companies wishing to license products in the Asian markets, we are a proven partner through stand-alone entities such as Medinova, Favorex and BiO-LiFE brand-owning businesses based in Switzerland and Asia.
We are experts in business integration and can support you at every stage of the product life cycle, from pre-launch regulatory support, product launches to full services for mature and non-core brands.
