Favourable demand factors have driven revenue growth in recent years, including an ageing population and a greater incidence of chronic disease. Increased local and global demand for consumer healthcare products has also benefited several participants. However, ongoing challenges including a changing regulatory and risk environment and reform-driven pricing pressures have constrained the industry's growth. Ongoing PBS reforms have heavily influenced manufacturers over the period, as mandatory price disclosures and a greater reliance on generic drugs have continued to reduce prices and added to downward profitability pressures.
The industry comprises companies that manufacture medicinal and pharmaceutical products for human use from both synthetic (chemical) and natural sources. Other products include chemical or diagnostic testing agents, blood serums and biotech products. Industry activities include manufacturing active pharmaceutical ingredients and synthesising chemical ingredients, late-stage packaging and fill-finish activities.
