The international companies are to provide the global overview of this sector with new innovations and research techniques that are already on or in the anvil.

The Indian pharmaceutical industry with over 20,000 registered pharmaceutical manufacturers today is in the front rank of India's science-based industries with wide ranging capabilities in the complex field of drug manufacture and technology. Globally, the Indian Pharmaceutical Industry ranks 4th in volume terms and 13th in value. India is the 5th largest manufacturer of bulk drugs.

In terms of technology, quality and range of medicines manufactured, India ranks very high in the world. From simple headache pills to sophisticated antibiotics and complex cardiac compounds, almost every type of drug is now manufactured and marketed, in India. It is in this context, Cidex has planned this mega meet.

Companies that are interested in attracting new customers, assessing the market potential, exploring dealership opportunities, enhancing brand visibility and interested in exchanging views with a wide cross section of the pharma industry are to find the conference an ideal meeting place.
