Abstract

The future of the global pharmaceutical supply and demand chain lies in the development potential of the BRICA countries. BRICA is the abbreviation of Brazil, Russia, India, China and Africa. To begin with, most discussions about the future of the pharmaceutical industry surround the BRIC countries, that is, Brazil, Russia, India and China. The pharmaceutical potential of BRIC lies in its market size, population informatics for prevalent diseases, especially neglected diseases, as well as traditional and plant medicine. However, as the outside world has gained more understanding of the health issues facing Africa, the African continent also constitutes immense potential to be part of the solution of global pharmaceutical supply and demand.
