Indonesia's Pharmaceutical Industry in 1998
By: Carin-Isabel Knoop and Anthony St. George
Abstract
This case describes the Indonesian pharmaceutical market in 1997 and the impact on the market of the Indonesian rupiah's 75% devaluation since July 1997. Major foreign and domestic players are described. It raises the issue of how the Indonesian pharmaceutical market might change as a result of the crisis and whether the balance of power between local and global players has shifted. In the pharmaceutical industry, the Asian market--including Southeast Asia, Japan, China, Korea, and India--constituted one-third of global revenues and had experienced above average growth.
