Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (NSE: DRREDDY), an internationally renowned pharmaceutical corporation with its main operations in India, announced on June 23 that it’s expanding into the Indian trade generics industry by unveiling a novel business unit, RGenX. Initially, the company’s trade generics line will target products intended for acute care. The business model, relying heavily on channel partners, will provide medication to retailers for sale without explicit endorsements from healthcare practitioners. This move, coupled with the consistent strides Dr. Reddy’s has been making to infiltrate the Indian market, has equipped the firm to grow with the thriving Indian pharmaceuticals sector.
Capitalizing on Market Expansion
In the face of regulatory shifts, Dr. Reddy’s aims to broaden its reach, distributing its drugs to towns, cities, and rural areas throughout India. Aligned with the company’s ESG goal to impact over 1.5 billion patients by 2030, the distribution of trade generic drugs via channel partners will be expedited in the forthcoming months.
The Indian pharmaceutical industry, boasting a $42.34 billion value last year, is anticipated to experience a surge in growth, with estimations placing its value at $130 billion by 2030.
To take advantage of the potential for substantial growth within India and to sustain its progression in the upcoming years, Dr. Reddy’s has outlined a dual-strategy approach, named Horizon 1 and Horizon 2. Under Horizon 1, the corporation intends to sustain its launch activities, incorporate and escalate recently acquired assets, enhance big brand life-cycle management, and advance productivity measures, such as digital and analytics utilization for improved in-clinic interactions. The firm will explore new business segments, while also considering strategic acquisitions to enhance organic growth and divest non-core assets for consolidation and strength. Horizon 2 will primarily concentrate on innovating, incorporating digital healthcare, biologics, and gene therapy, and exploring additional nutrition-focused initiatives. The firm also aims to establish itself as a preferred partner in implementing its India strategy.
The corporation recently announced its venture into the child nutrition sector with the release of immune booster gummies, which will challenge existing brands in the child immunity supplement market such as Azveston Healthcare, HUL, and Himalaya.
CEO Erez Israeli confirmed in a recent earnings call that Dr. Reddy’s is planning on partnering with businesses in global health hubs like the U.S., China, and Israel to introduce innovation to India. The company is also actively seeking mergers and acquisitions in India to expedite its market penetration and accomplish its goal of ranking among the top 5 pharmaceutical companies in India based on sales. For Dr. Reddy’s, India is not just a target market but also a technological springboard that enables the development of innovative drugs and technologies at competitive rates. Some recent deals include a partnership with CardiaCare to develop wearable devices for atrial fibrillation treatment, a partnership with Junshi Biosciences for the development and commercialization of Toripalimab, focusing on oncology, and a licensing agreement with Theranica to market FDA-approved Nerivio in India.
With its global footprint and growing Indian business, Dr. Reddy’s is well-equipped for growth. The new business unit aimed at infiltrating the trade generics market in India and the recent entry into the child nutrition sector are significant milestones in the company’s India strategy, creating opportunities for Dr. Reddy’s to establish new and potentially rapid-growing revenue sources.
