    Report Coverage

    This report on the pharmaceutical industry in South Africa provides comprehensive information on the manufacturing, wholesale and retail subsectors, price regulation, medical cannabis, market shares, notable multinational and local players and corporate actions. There are profiles of 128 companies including local dominant players Aspen Pharmacare and Adcock Ingram, multinationals such as Bayer, GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer and retailers Clicks and Dis-Chem and other players such as Nativa.

    The Pharmaceutical Industry in South Africa

    More than 80% of South African pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution revenue is from the private sector. State purchases of pharmaceuticals are declining, and manufacturers’ margins are under pressure due to low regulated price increases for scheduled pharmaceuticals in a high inflation environment. In the retail sector, Clicks and Dis-Chem have wholesale volume advantages and an ever-increasing footprint. Consumer spending patterns have forced consolidation in the retail sector, the growth of private label sales, growth in convenience formats, and diversification into new services and products.

    Local Manufacture

    While almost 70% of pharmaceutical products used in South Africa are locally produced, almost all active pharmaceutical ingredients and various finished products are imported. South Africa has established the capacity and capabilities to formulate and supply products such as ARVs and radiopharmaceuticals. The pandemic highlighted the country’s limited access to critical vaccines, and a flurry of investments have been announced to localise vaccine raw material and finished dose manufacturing, although the sustainability of these initiatives is far from secure.

    Independent and Retail Pharmacies

    The four biggest pharmacy groups (Clicks, Dis-Chem, Shoprite’s Medirite, and Pharmacy at Spar) accounted for nearly 40% of registered community pharmacies. Including franchises, this is even higher. In addition to corporate pharmacy growth, there has been consolidation in the retail pharmacy industry through mergers and acquisitions. Other forms of competition to independent community pharmacies include online retail, courier pharmacies and continued investment by national grocery chains in instore and self-standing pharmacy brands.

    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on the pharmaceutical industry in South Africa including manufacture, retail and wholesale trade in pharmaceuticals and alternative health products, such as medicinal cannabis. The report includes information on the state and size of the industry, notable players in each subsector, developments, corporate actions, regulations and other influencing factors. There are profiles of 129 companies including international companies Cipla, Novartis, Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer, local companies including Aspen and Adcock Ingram, retailers Clicks and Dis-Chem, and cannabis companies such as Goodleaf.

    The Pharmaceutical Industry in South Africa

    The importance of the pharmaceutical industry has been amplified by the global health crisis. South Africa has the world’s largest antiretroviral programme and is one of the major producers of radiopharmaceuticals. With the ongoing development of local manufacturing capacity and capabilities, local pharmaceutical companies are set to play a pivotal role in the production and supply of COVID-19 vaccines and other medicines for the domestic market and the rest of Africa. Although South Africa is the largest manufacturer and supplier of pharmaceuticals in sub-Saharan Africa, it is highly reliant on imported products, which account for more than two-thirds of pharmaceutical sales.

    Disruption

    The pandemic continues to cause business interruptions and supply chain challenges. Commercial flight disruptions have caused procurement delays and stock shortages. Other key challenges include frequent power outages and downward pressure on the rand, which has driven up the price of imported ingredients and finished products. The single exit price increase was well below inflation and the prior year increase.

    Medical Cannabis

    Formal and informal sales revenue of all cannabis products was estimated at around R14bn in 2021 and the Department of Trade Industry and Competition said sales could double by 2024. Government’s cannabis masterplan aims to expand the cannabis industry, attract foreign investment and create tens of thousands of jobs. Many companies hope to be part of this growth, and there are around 30 licensed commercial cannabis producers in South Africa.

    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on the manufacture of pharmaceuticals in South Africa and includes the wholesale and retail trade in pharmaceutical products. It includes information on the state and size of the sector and influencing factors including the response to coronavirus, regulation, research and development and competition. There are profiles of 122 companies including international companies operating in South Africa such as Cipla, Sanofi and Novartis, major local manufacturers such as Aspen and Adcock Ingram and retailers including Clicks and Dis-Chem. Other profiles include state-owned South African Nuclear Energy Corporation, whose subsidiary NTP Radioisotopes is one of the world’s largest producers of medical radioisotopes and radioisotope-based diagnostic imaging and therapy products, and Alpha Pharm pharmacies, the largest group of independent community pharmacies in South Africa.

    The Pharmaceutical Industry in South Africa

    The pharmaceutical sector is dominated by multinational pharmaceutical companies. Although a greater variety of products is available in the private sector, the public health sector consumes the largest volume of pharmaceuticals. Vaccines and ARVs for HIV infection account for more than 50% of total public health sector expenditure on pharmaceuticals. While almost 70% of the pharmaceutical products that are used are locally-produced, various active pharmaceutical ingredients and finished products are imported. The sector is highly regulated and the development, production, marketing and sale of pharmaceuticals are strictly controlled.

    Essential Provider

    As a supplier of essential products, the pharmaceutical industry has been able to withstand the economic downturn of the past decade better than many other industries. The weak exchange rate has driven up the price of imported ingredients and finished products. Price agreements between government and suppliers have reduced the cost of pharmaceuticals used in public sector hospitals and primary care clinics. Manufacturers’ profit margins continue to narrow.

    Sanitisers

    Demand for sanitisers and hygiene products in response to coronavirus has seen a number of non-specialist producers and suppliers enter the market. Some public sector sanitiser suppliers have charged inflated prices and/or supplied substandard products.

    Report Coverage

    This report on the pharmaceutical industry describes the industry, its size, new developments and factors influencing its success. There are comprehensive profiles of 89 companies including the major manufacturers Aspen Pharmacare, Adcock Ingram and Indian manufacturer Cipla and the biggest retailers Dis-Chem and Clicks (New Clicks). Other companies profiled include Ascendis Health, which has sold its pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Gauteng to Mylan for R130m and is assessing the sale of other divisions and units to focus the business and reduce debt.

    The Pharmaceutical Industry

    The pharmaceutical sector, which researches, develops, markets and distributes drugs, as part of the wider healthcare system, is valued at R50bn at manufacturers’ exit price and R68bn using retail sales. The industry faces the challenge of expanding access to and affordability of drugs, on the one hand and growing South Africa’s drug manufacturing capacity on the other. The sector seeks to meet this challenge in the context of implementation of the National Health Insurance (NHI) and rapid technological developments.

    Changing Regulatory Environment

    Several developments that will affect the industry include the Medical Aid Schemes Bill, National Health Insurance Bill, intellectual property regime overhaul, Competition Commission health inquiry and the introduction of a new regulator for medicines, medical devices and complementary medicines. Following the legalisation of cannabis for private use, the first medical cannabis cultivation licences have been awarded. All of these issues are discussed in detail in the report.

    Report Coverage

    The detailed report on the Pharmaceutical industry focuses on developments in the South African manufacturing and retail sectors during 2016 and 2017. The report profiles 88 companies including newcomer Inicio, which recently secured a licensing agreement with German firm Fluxpharm. The agreement is a key step towards possible domestic production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for HIV/AIDS drugs, which locally-based pharmaceutical manufacturers currently import from China and India. If this is successful, South Africa will have its first black-owned pharmaceutical company. State-owned pharmaceutical manufacturer Ketlaphela has yet to begin production of APIs. Also profiled are three companies that have been investigated by the Competition Commission in relation to the supply of various cancer medicines, Pfizer, Aspen and Roche and its US-based biotechnology company, Genentech.

    The South African Pharmaceutical industry

    The pharmaceutical industry provides the vital service of providing medication to the South African population and was valued at between R42.6bn and R45bn in 2016. Involved in the sector are 276 companies licensed by the Department of Health and the Medical Controls Council. Local manufacturing, valued at R 4.9bn in 2015, is dominated by local companies. In 2015 Aspen had a market share of 15.3% and Adcock Ingram’s market share was 8.9%. South African companies hold the number one position for overall market share, for Pharmaceuticals only and for over-the-counter medication only.

    Challenges

    Some of the important challenges facing the industry are tensions between improving access to affordable medicines on the one hand, and growing the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals on the other. Other factors influencing the sector include the introduction of the National Health Insurance (NHI), significant changes in technologies to manufacture drugs and the emergence of the use of cannabis and other alternative healing methods. Weak economic growth means that the public health sector will be required to do more with fewer resources than initially planned. It also has implications for the filling of an additional much-needed 12,000 pharmacist posts in the public sector.

    Report Coverage

    The report on the Pharmaceutical industry describes merger and acquisition activity, the latest regulatory developments and discusses factors influencing the success of the sector. The report profiles 90 companies ranging from South Africa’s two largest pharmaceutical manufacturers, Aspen Pharmacare and Adcock Ingram to newcomers to the Top 20, Mylan and Valeant Pharmaceuticals which both have less than 2% share of the market. Also profiled are African Medicines (Pty) Ltd t/a Pakmed Self Medication and GNLD International (Pty) Ltd, companies that use the services of contract manufacturers such as Wrapsa. Large national retailers with in-house pharmacies like Clicks and Pick ‘n Pay, which have proved to be fierce competition to traditional independent and community pharmacies, are also profiled in this report.

    The South African Pharmaceutical industry

    The pharmaceutical industry, a vital one which incorporates research and development, manufacture, import, distribution, wholesale and retail of pharmaceutical products, was valued at R39.3bn in 2015. The original drugs sub-sector remains important, contributing 48.2% of industry sales value but the generics sub-sector is the fastest-growing. The recently established state-owned pharmaceutical company, Ketlaphela will start manufacturing antiretroviral drugs in 2019, thus challenging the sales of imported generics to a country that has the world’s largest government-funded antiretroviral programme.

    A changing Sector

    Although pharmaceutical companies acknowledge that their primary responsibility is to ensure access to affordable healthcare for all consumers, some stakeholders believe companies continue to place large profits before improved health. There has been increased lobbying for reform of the patent system to support the availability of cheaper generic drugs and the reduction in price of originals. With the Intellectual Property policy currently under review and the private healthcare sector the subject of a Competition Commission enquiry, the South African pharmaceutical industry is likely to undergo change.
