IRAN Pharma 2018
The pharmaceutical industry in the world is known to be among the most profitable industries. On average the profit rates are estimated at the vicinity of 18 percent. The constant increases in life expectancy as the most important factor for the development of societies in the health sector, resonates with the increasing attention of the people towards health and its ever booming market. Iran, leaning on its medical and pharmaceutical experts and scientists, has always been among the countries enjoying strategic potential in the field of pharmaceuticals, treatment and the health system. According to experts, the chain of pharmaceutical knowledge is complete and the domestic pharmaceutical industry has reached the stage where it can provide for 96 percent of the domestic demand for pharmaceuticals.
In this line, the International Exhibition on Pharmaceuticals and Related Industries IRANPHARMA EXPO, having the motto “Exportation of Domestic Products” in its core, and moving towards presenting the capabilities of the pharmaceutical industries, is held annually by the Iranian Pharmaceutical Industries Syndicate and with the support of the ministry of health and medical education.
It must be noted that pharmacy is among the knowledge-based industries, and throughout the world, the joint production of pharmaceuticals and scientific exchange between research centers and pharmaceutical industries lead to an increase in the production capacities. Therefore, IRANPHARMA EXPO is a platform for the formation of mutual collaborations.
Commercial Opportunities
IRANPHARMA EXPO, with its stress on “event” instead of “exhibition” in the traditional sense of the word is trying to discover new markets for exports, while introducing domestic potentials and the latest achievements in the industry. Without a doubt, when the domestic market is filled with domestic products, and the manufacturing capacities rank twice as the domestic demand, export is the only way of survival for the most strategic national manufacturing industry.
Human Resources
According to the experts on health systems, regardless of the imposed war and sanctions, Iranian pharmacists can scientifically manufacture any medicine produced in the world in two years. Furthermore, currently the number of educated pharmacists is increasing and the number of papers published in this field is much higher than other fields of study. This calls for more job opportunities to be provided for the young pharmacists in this industry in order to utilize this professional workforce optimally. IRANPHARMA EXPO, as a scientific-cultural event, has provided this platform.
