The pharmaceutical sector in India is showing strong domestic growth of 7% to 9%, despite flat global growth in the US and Europe, according to pharma expert Kewal Handa. He sees good opportunities for Indian companies in the US, as a significant number of patents are set to expire in the next five years. Biosimilars and the application of artificial intelligence in R&D are expected to be major growth areas, and Handa predicts double-digit growth next year.
