Pharmaceutical Market Evolution After Egypt’s Revolution
By: Mohamed S. Morsy
Business EnvironmentSWOT Analysis (1)
Strengths
The country’s geographical location is good for trade as Egypt has access to both the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, not to mention the key Suez canal route, which connects Europe and Asia.
The legal system has issued adjudications in favor of foreign firms, although there are frequent procedural delays.

Business EnvironmentSWOT Analysis Weaknesses
Egypt ranks 112th out of 180 states surveyed in Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index 2011, comparing unfavorably with regional peers.
The labor market is relatively inflexible, with Egypt performing markedly worse than the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development average, and also inferior to the regional average on the World Bank’s Hiring and Firing Workers index.
Business EnvironmentSWOT Analysis Opportunities
Efforts towards banking-sector consolidation should bring down the cost of private-sector credit and fuel small business growth over the long term.
Business EnvironmentSWOT Analysis Threats
Patronage networks impede attempts at fighting corruption and cutting bureaucracy.
Although levels of education are relatively high, there is a considerable mismatch between the skills taught in schools and those required by most employers.

The slowdown is a response to changes in the market caused by the 2011 patent cliff, pricing, higher domestic drug production output and a diversification of drugs available with competitive prices in the generic drug sector. (CAGR% = 8.4 by 2014)

CAGR% by 2014 summary
Vision and Opinion Based on Egyptian population individual income
during democratic transformation, the personal health care budget will be placed when necessary.
Total pharmaceutical market will continue to grow within its normal growth rate (near to 14%).
There will a significant shift to generics (GP and Specialty products) and OTC products to reduce the cost as possible.
There is an expected strategic growth from multinationals by acquisition of local firms.
