Message from Chairman, PPMA
In the past year, the value of the
pharmaceutical sector of Pakistan was estimated
to be around $3.2 billion, doubling from $1.64
billion in 2011. It is likely to hit $ 5 billion
in next few years. In the 1st half of FY
2020-21, pharmaceutical exports have recorded an
increase by 24%. The sector's exports in 2019
stood at $218 million, up from $44.4 million in
2003. Founded in 1961, the PPMA is recognized by
the Government of Pakistan as the only
representative Pharma body in the country, which
has about 700 plus members comprising both
national and multinational companies. Pakistan's
Pharma industry is very vibrant and dynamic,
currently fulfilling more than 95% of the
domestic pharmaceutical requirements. PPMA
strives to ensure availability of quality
medicines to all at reasonable price and to
enhance exports of the country by accessing more
value added markets of Europe and USA and the
rising emerging markets of Africa. Through
exports and industrial progress, the Pharma
industry intends to work constructively with the
government and regulatory agencies to ensure
that our policy environment allows us to compete
on the world stage. We invite our colleagues to
attend the prestigious ceremony of 1st PESA and
share the knowledge and celebrate the success of
the industry as in the current climate it's more
important than ever to recognize what has been
achieved.
I look forward to welcoming you all.
I look forward to welcoming you all.

Mr. Tauqeer Ul Haq
