Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

The Mexico pharmaceutical market was valued at $21.48 billion in 2020. Mexico has a large and rising middle-class population, a favorable environment for private sector investment, a rise in demand for healthcare services, and relatively high drug prices. The growth of the Mexican pharmaceutical market can be attributed to the large and growing middle-class population, the favorable environment for private sector investment, a rise in demand for healthcare services and pharmaceutical products, and increased quality certifications.

Low-cost manufacturing of pharmaceuticals is attracting increasing foreign investment to Mexico. Many US manufacturing companies aiming to reduce dependence on China perceive nearshoring to Mexico or Canada as even more advantageous than reshoring to the US. Since 2020, COVID-19-related supply chain disruptions have caused many US companies to take steps to bring some of their manufacturing closer to home.

What are the key market trends and drivers in the Mexico pharma industry?

The Mexico pharma industry grew significantly with the repeal of the “derecho de planta” law in 2010, part of the country’s economic liberalization under the conservative PAN party, which required all companies selling pharmaceuticals in Mexico to have a manufacturing facility in the country. Although the rising number of middle-class people in Mexico will fuel growing domestic pharma production, there will be limits to the fast pharma growth. Mexico is also heavily dependent on US markets, as the US is one of its best-trading partners.

There has been a trend toward outsourcing specialist operations and care to cut costs and enhance healthcare results. For example, in Mexico, most dialysis treatments are supplied by private corporations that are under contract with governmental healthcare institutions. Additionally, an increase in collaborations with US healthcare providers was observed to provide cardiac care, cancer treatment, and other specialist care in Mexican institutions or for patients to fly to the US.  As a result, hospitals may save money on plants and equipment, materials, medications, and tools, while still having access to some of the most cutting-edge specialty surgical treatments.

What are the key deal types in the Mexico pharmaceutical market?

The key deal types in the Mexico pharmaceutical market are strategic alliances, mergers & acquisitions, contract service agreements, and capital raisings.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
