Abstract

Vaccine manufacturing in India has historically been centered around producing a widevariety of conventional vaccinesthat made the country self-sufficient as well as a net exporter of basic vaccines. However, overtime, other safe and efficacious vaccines that follow technologically more advanced manufacturing processes became available in the market against some high burdened diseases, their increased uptake made the country import dependent. In the second half of 2000s when manufacturing capacity of public sector was being dismantled, India became a big market for imported vaccines(e.g., import penetration rate increased from 10.6% to 62.5% between 2007-08 to 2013-14) since then and export got affected adversely. Despite such repercussions, India continued to enjoy comparative advantage (RCA>1) and trade surplus due to high acceptability of Indian vaccines in developing countries market. High R&D intensity and active State support are critical for making the country self-reliant and self-sufficient in vaccine development and manufacturing, and addressing future health challenges like the Coronavirus
