The industry witnessed a stress in their internal sales in the month of June due to GST implementation
The Indian Pharmaceutical Market (IPM) clocked Rs 115052 crores of which the retail sector was valued at Rs 96759 crores as of MAT July 2017 with a growth of 6 per cent over last year. However, on a monthly level we do see a steep decline in growths to a tune of -7.6 per cent.
The share of top 10 companies continued to be 43 per cent in the IPM and these top companies have shown a de-growth of 7 per cent over SPLY. The top 150 companies continue to account for 97 per cent of IPM on MAT and month basis. Top 20 companies contribute to 64 per cent in both MAT and month level. Out of the Top 10 companies, only Lupin showed a remarkable growth on MAT basis but has de-grown on month basis. All the companies showed positive growth on MAT among the top 10 companies. Most of the companies in 11-20 bracket have shown de-growth for the month apart from Torrent, Sanofi and USV which reflected a positive growth. Glenmark and USV have grown in double digits while Pfizer and DRL reflected a negative growth for the MAT as well.
While industry saw a stress in their internal sales in the month of June due to GST implementation we did see a greater impact at the stockists level in the first 10 days of July. Therefore, we do see a de-growth across the Top 20 companies with a few exceptions like Torrent, Sanofi and USV who have recorded a positive growth for the month. Basis the current trend, we should expect a pull in sales in the first half of next month.
The impact can also be seen on the Top 10 brands of IPM as these brands which are valued at Rs 320 crores for the month of July 2017 have shown a combined single digit growth at 3per cent over SPLY. However, this impact is mainly due to high de-growth of two brands belonging to anti-infective therapy which are Monocef (-33 per cent) and Augmentin (-13 per cent). Other top 10 brands like Lantus (34 per cent), Janumet (18 per cent) and Galvus Met (13 per cent) have shown a double digit growth while remaining have also grown positively. A major change in the list of top 10 brands is exit of Spasmo-Proxyvon +, Prevenar and Dexorange whose place is taken by Thyronorm, Betadine and Monocef. Also, Novomix rose to fifth position to enter among top five brands. The impact has been more on brands ranked 11-20 which were valued at Rs 221 crore and showed a combined growth of (-3 per cent). Only Duphaston (31 per cent) and Shelcal (19 per cent) grew in double digits while seven brands showed negative growth.
