BusinessPakistan's pharmaceutical exports aim to reach $5 billion by 2030: Minister

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Federal Minister of Commerce Syed Naveed Qamar has said that Pakistan’s objective is to increase pharmaceutical exports to US$ 1 billion by 2025 and US$ 5 billion by 2030.

In a key address at the opening ceremony of the 6th Pakistan Pharma Summit and Pharma Export Summit and Awards (PESA) 2023, Syed Naveed Qamar presented an outline of government initiatives to significantly increase Pakistan’s pharmaceutical exports.

The minister expressed gratitude to the Chairman Syed Farooq Bukhari and Dr. Sheikh Muhammad of PPMA.

Highlighting the immense opportunities for growth in the global pharmaceutical market valued at USS 1.4 trillion, the minister emphasized the need for Pakistan to benefit from this occasion.

Syed Naveed Qamar underscored the importance of focusing on key areas to enhance pharmaceutical exports.

The federal minister stressed the significance of local production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) to reduce dependence on imports.

“It is essential for the public to have access to medicines and affordable prices. We will listen to the issues of this industry and find solutions to them,” he said.

The minister said that promoting self-reliance in this sector will not only aid the industry’s progress but also create opportunities for revenue-based growth. He said that the government is also actively working towards rationalization and creating an enabling regulatory environment.

The government shed light on its efforts to promote bilateral partnerships and facilitate revenue-based organizations. Solid efforts from the government, industry players, and regulatory authorities are required. By working together, Pakistan can position itself as a leading player in the global pharmaceutical market.

Naveed Qamar encouraged all stakeholders to seek opportunities for growth, invest in research and development, and strive for excellence.
