Resources to Get You Started on Your Transformation Journey

The pharmaceutical industry in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is booming, and 2025 is shaping up to be a big year. With a rapidly growing population, increasing investment in healthcare, and a rising demand for medicine, the region is on track to hit around $60 billion in market value. That’s huge!

Local pharmaceutical companies are set to play a pivotal role in the region’s growth. To succeed, they must overcome challenges, including global competition, technological gaps, and complex regulatory landscapes.

Factors critical for their growth include:

1. Digital transformation: As the market matures, embracing technology in manufacturing, quality, operations, and customer engagement will be critical to competing effectively.
2. Global-quality standards: Consistent quality and compliance with international norms will build trust and open export opportunities.
3. Innovation and R&D: As local manufacturing grows within the region, investing in research that addresses regional health priorities will be important.
4. Strategic partnerships: Collaborations with multinationals can fast-track technology adoption and market expansion.
5. Talent development: Training programs and advanced technologies will be necessary to create the highly skilled workforce required for the growth of local companies.

Local players prioritizing these strategies will be well-positioned to capture market share and contribute to the region’s self-sufficiency.

The industry is set for exciting developments, whether new drugs, smarter healthcare, or more local manufacturing. We at Scigeniq are excited to work with pharmaceutical companies and support their path to success with solutions that ensure operations run smoothly.
