The Indonesian pharmaceutical industry exhibited high growth after the government announced a plan to allow 100% foreign ownership of drug firms to increase overseas investment in the sector and thereby raise the volume and quality of local production. The Philippines pharmaceutical industry on the other hand witnessed slow growth due to a drug pricing law implemented by the government. The Indonesian pharmaceutical industry has noticeably changed since the approval of the Universally Accessible Cheaper and Quality Medicines Act that includes the Maximum Drug Retail Price (MDRP) scheme. MDRP called for a 50% price reduction for more than 100 drugs.

Indonesia and the Philippines recently joined the ranks of the top 20 most populated countries in the world, meaning they offer huge patient populations. There has been a rise in the incidence of chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Emerging markets such as Indonesia must address the populations rising demand for healthcare and significant unmet medical needs.

The Philippines CRO market is gaining attention globally due to its favorable regulatory environment and huge patient base offered by the countrys large population. However, the Indonesian CRO market is not as favorable for drugs registration procedures, which currently take 300 days after submission to the Indonesian Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM). Indonesia and the Philippines currently account for a tiny share of the global CMO market but are set to capitalize on increasing outsourcing opportunities from western countries.
