The drive by multinational pharmaceutical companies (MPCs) to gain access to emerging markets and their willingness to outsource key R&D activities is fueling the growth of a domestic life sciences marketplace in both China and India. Growth in this sector is in turn promoting innovative drug development, both by local pharmaceutical companies and by emerging biotechnology firms. As this industry sector develops, many local players will turn to MPCs for support through partnerships and collaboration.
