You have a strong presence in the BRIC nations. Which among these countries has the biggest market for you?
The BRIC countries are all characterized by high growth rates plus record foreign trade figures, investments and increasing employment rates. The future outlook is pretty impressive: Expenditure on pharmaceutical products in the emerging markets is expected to almost double by 2015. By this time, they will then have a larger market volume than the top eight established industrial nations together (USA , Canada, Japan and the five leading European markets).

A total of three billion people live in the BRIC countries, which is approximately 40 percent of the world population. With a greater number of people having access to a healthcare system, the potential number of patients increases and so does the demand for medical services and pharmaceuticals. China has the fastest growing pharmaceutical sector and market. However, there are also major growth forces at work in Brazil and a new economic age has dawned in India. In fact, India has one of the most rapidly expanding economies in the world.
