Supply Chain
Among all of the EU’s manufacturing sectors, only the pharmaceutical sector has increased its share of output since the year 2000, according to the European Commission. And sustained growth has been a hallmark of the entire EU life sciences and healthcare market, despite the financial crisis. Statistics indicate that our region is on track to achieve a substantial share of the predicted $1.235 trillion global pharma market by 2017 – together France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK are likely to secure a 13% share.
