The global pharmaceutical industry generated $1.25 trillion in revenue in 2020 and is expected to reach $1.57 trillion by 2023. While the sector continues to grow, India has emerged as one of the leading pharmaceutical drug producers worldwide. As the leader in generic drugs, India supplies over 50% of the global need for various vaccines, 40% of the generic demand in the US, and 25% of all medicines in the UK, and 20% of the global generic market. Despite being a key player in global pharmaceutical suppliers, the quality regulation in India has faced critique frequently. Being one of the largest pharmaceutical players globally, it is paramount to understand how quality is regulated within the Indian pharmaceutical industry and this project aims the same.
