Indonesia Pharmaceuticals 2015

April 01, 2015

Often underappreciated for its immensity, Indonesia has approximately 250 million people, which makes it the world’s fourth most populous country. Indonesia also plays an outsized role in the region’s economic activity, as its economy is the largest in the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). Indonesia may be classified as a lower-middle income country, but it offers vast potential in terms of commercial opportunity, particularly in pharmaceuticals. From 2007 to 2013, Indonesia’s pharmaceutical industry grew by 85 percent, including 7% in 2014 alone, and is now valued at $6 billion. Growth is forecasted to rise to 12% in 2015 and to continue through 2018. As Indonesia’s market for pharmaceuticals expands and deepens, domestic and multinational players are positioning themselves to capitalize on emerging opportunities.

MACIG 2025 - Mining in Africa Country Investment Guide

It is said that mining is a patient industry. Current demand projections are not. Demand for minerals deemed ‘critical’ is set to increase almost fourfold by 2030, according to the UN. Demand for nickel, cobalt and lithium is predicted to double, triple and rise ten-fold, respectively, between 2022 and 2050. The world will need to mine more copper between 2018 and 2050 than it has mined throughout history. 2050 is also the deadline to curb emissions before reaching a point of ‘no return.’ The pace of mineral demand and the consequences of not meeting it force the industry to act fast and take more risks. Mining cannot afford to be a patient industry anymore. The scramble for supply drives miners back to geological credentials, and therefore to places like the African Central Copperbelt.
