According to ICRA's most recent prediction, the pharmaceutical industry in India is expected to see revenue growth of 7-9% in FY26, driven by robust domestic demand and consistent increases in Europe. With the help of new product launches, a larger rural reach, and an expanded sales force, the domestic market is predicted to grow by 8–10%. Branded generics are still being driven by new products, price increases, and chronic therapies; in Q1 FY26, businesses reported a 10.3% YoY increase, up from an 11.6% growth in FY25. Government initiatives that increase affordability and promote healthcare inclusion include exemptions from the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and rate reductions on a number of life-saving medications and medical equipment. After increasing 18.9% last year, European revenues are expected to expand 10-12% in FY26 because to stable pricing trends and new product approvals.
The US market, on the other hand, is still difficult. Due to pricing challenges and ongoing regulatory scrutiny by the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), which has resulted in warning letters, import alerts, and launch delays, revenue is predicted to reduce to 3-5% in FY26 after growing 9.9% in FY25. Profit margins are strained and cleanup expenses are increased by these problems. The possibility of inclusion remains, even though pharmaceuticals are now protected from the recently implemented 50% US tax on Indian imports. Additionally, a proposed most-favorable-nation pricing regime may further strain margins. In order to maintain growth and reduce external risks, Indian pharmaceutical companies are also boosting their investments in research and development to 6–7% of their revenues, concentrating on complicated compounds and niche goods.
