Executive summary

DLO crises causes stagnation in the Russian pharmaceutical market

Somewhat unexpectedly, the Russian pharmaceutical market experienced sluggish growth in 2007 due to recent policy moves by the government that negatively impacted the market. The government’s decision in October 2006 to severely cut the number of higher priced, imported medicines in favour of local preparations within the DLO reimbursement programme affected overall pharmaceutical market numbers in 2007. Moreover, in November 2006, a sensational corruption scandal broke out forcing the resignation of the Minister of Health and which posed serious questions about the management of DLO (state-run beneficiary drug provision programme) and insurance funds. As a result, the Russian pharmaceutical market recorded 11% growth in 2007, negatively influenced by the DLO segment. Hospital sales recorded decent growth of 18% in 2007 while OTC healthcare was less affected by these unfavourable developments and which continued its rapid development over the review period. In fact, it remained one of the major driving forces of the overall Russian pharmaceutical market.

New registration rules lead to cuts in imports

New administrative norms regarding the registration of medicines in Russia have been in place since 1 January 2007. During the three months of the transition period, a declarant had the right to choose the compliance confirmation form – either obligatory certification or safety compliance declaration for each drug lot while coming through the customs. This meant that the responsibility for drug quality and authenticity has been unambiguously placed with manufacturers. OTC healthcare players predicted possible difficulties in the registration of the medicines of foreign companies. This resulted in maximum drug imports to Russia in December 2006 but particularly during the last quarter of 2006. Following this overstocking the first six months of 2007 witnessed a cut on imports and drug imports recorded modest growth of only 6%.

Generics continues to be predominant in Russia

Generics will continue dominating in terms of industry share over the forecast period while innovation in drugs will have a lower priority, being primarily procured by state supported programmes. The most prolific in terms of innovation are in drugs classified under the reimbursement sector (DLO). According to industry experts, innovative medicines account for 17% in the hospital segment and just 8% in the commercial segment. The share of innovative drugs on the overall pharmaceutical market in Russia will not exceed 15% over the first two years of the forecast period due to contraction of innovative preparations in the DLO list.

Domestic pharmaceutical giant among the market leaders

Foreign producers lead in terms of advanced pharmaceuticals with only one local company being capable of competing with its international rivals. In 2007, only one Russian firm, Pharmstandard, was listed among the top 15 OTC manufacturers in Russia as it chose an aggressive merger and acquisition strategy to increase its presence in the market. The domestic pharmaceutical market tends to consolidate across all the sectors: production, wholesale and retail.

Opportunities for growth

Despite all the challenges, the Russian pharmaceutical industry projects a promising future with the markets for branded drugs and over the counter drugs on the rise. The OTC market in Russia has potential for growth to develop in value rather than in volume terms due to switches to more expensive drugs. Moreover, Russia appears set to liberalise the insurance market as part of its deal securing US support for World Trade Organization (WTO) accession, allowing foreign insurers to operate independently in the Russian market for the first time. This will drive growth in the Russian market for private health insurance and encourage greater consumption of imported medicines. Russia’s GDP will continue to grow at an expected average of 6% between 2006 and 2010 boosting consumer spending power.
