Product Description
Introduction
Mexico is one of the most attractive pharmaceutical markets in the Latin American region. It is increasingly aligning its regulations and legislation with US standards, and in 2008 abolished the requirements for pharma companies to have a manufacturing plant in Mexico, therefore lowering barriers to market entry for multinationals.
Features And Benefits

Highlights
The Mexican pharmaceutical market generated $14.3bn in sales during 2010, with an annual growth rate of 8.3% between 2009 and 2010, and a compound annual growth rate of 2.0% between 2006 and 2010.
Several government incentives are encouraging pharma companies to enter the Mexican market, with the country increasingly aligning its regulations and legislation with US standards. The government is stimulating the development of private-public partnerships and favorable R&D tax incentives.
Despite improvements, a lack of regulatory transparency coupled with widespread corruption still exists. Also, Mexico’s reliance on the US can hamper potential growth of this market, and as a result, it is not surprising that Mexico was negatively impacted during the recession.
