Acting as the central hub within South East Asia, the Indonesian
pharmaceutical market is growing faster than the world's average and
is projected to be the fastest growing economy within the ASEAN,
predicted to rise at an annual rate of 6% through to 2018. Further,
pharmaceutical firms within the region are set to benefit from the
government's universal healthcare system enforced this year. As a
result, healthcare spending in Indonesia is anticipated to reach
US$21.7bn by 2015. With the potential pharmaceutical market reaching
a value of US$80bn by 2017, alongside an increased harmonization
across all South East Asian nations. CPhI South East Asia and its
co-located events provide an unparalleled regional platform for both
domestic and international buyers and suppliers to meet, network and
drive the South East Asian pharma sector.

Last year, attendance figures hit record levels with over 5,500
attendees from 51 countries and regions including USA, UK, India,
Japan and Russia. A total of 264 companies were present as exhibitors
and it is projected that these figures will be exceeded at this
year's event to mirror the expanding domestic marketplace.

"The South East Asian pharmaceutical market is already expanding
at a higher rate than the global pharmaceutical industry and there is
strong evidence to suggest that this growth will continue. Further,
we are now seeing an increase in harmonization across South East
Asian nations, which will undoubtedly make the region a far more
powerful player within the global marketplace. This will likely
increase competition, meaning it is an ideal time for international
buyers and suppliers to break into this attractive market," commented
Chris Kilbee, Group Director, Pharma, UBM Live.
