Ukraine Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare Report
The Ukraine Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare Report provides independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Ukraine’s pharmaceuticals and healthcare industry.
BMI forecasts that Ukraine’s pharmaceutical market will grow by 12% in 2008, following 22% growth recorded in 2007. Our updated five-year forecast for the period 2007 to 2012 envisions an annual average growth rate of 8.7% reaching a total value of US$3.65bn, reflecting slowing growth towards the end of the forecast period. Much depends on the Ukrainian government’s ability to deliver on promises to introduce major healthcare reform and a level of universal coverage. If successful, the market could see strong double-digit rates through the forecast period. But BMI remains deeply sceptical about the central government’s ability to deliver reform.
