DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/980533/opportunities_in_e) has announced the addition of Decision Resources, Inc.'s new report "Opportunities in Emerging Markets - Newly Industrialized Asia (South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong SAR)" to their offering.
What opportunities are available for pharmaceutical companies to pursue in the newly industrialized Asian economies (NIEs), compared with the emerging and developing economies of BRIC-MT? Owing to the rapid growth of many Asian economies, most pharmaceutical companies are taking a long hard look at Asia-Pacific markets to chart a course toward increasing global and regional drug sales. What information does a company use when deciding to choose one country market over another? This report investigates the NIE markets and compares these markets with the advanced economies of the United States and Japan and with the emerging and developing BRIC-MT markets. It explores the differences and similarities between these diverse markets and discusses strategies as well as opportunities for pharmaceutical companies in NIEs.
Questions Answered in this Report:
- There is no one-size-fits-all strategy for accessing Asia-Pacific markets, which are heterogeneous and offer diverse advantages and disadvantages. What are the key characteristics of NIE markets? How do these markets compare with emerging and developing BRIC-MT markets? How do they compare with the advanced markets of Japan and the United States?
- Trade barriers can limit the ability of imported products to compete in domestic markets in NIE and BRIC-MT economies. What recent free trade agreement (FTA) was ratified with South Korea? What other FTAs are in process? What are the likely impacts of these agreements on the pharmaceutical industry?
- Pfizer created an established products unit in 2009. Why does Pfizer view established products as a key element of the company's growth and risk diversification strategy? Why is Pfizer's approach to unlocking value in new markets for existing drugs especially useful in the developed economies of the NIE countries?
- Eisai has embarked on a bold new mid-term strategic plan called Hayabusa. How does Eisai plan to change its business model? What is Eisai's East Asia (Japan, China, Thailand, South Korea, Hong Kong) strategy?
- Bayer has designated the Asia-Pacific region as a key growth and investment opportunity. What is Bayer's two-pronged approach for this region? Which markets is Bayer targeting for more investment?
