At present, the major and leading biotechnology companies of india are the following --- Biocon and Serum Institute of India (in Biopharma segment), Panacea Biotec, Nicholas Piramal, GlaxoSmithKline, Bharat Serum, Zydus Cadila, etc. Again, the biotechnology sector can broadly be divided into the segments of Bio-pharma, Bio-Agri (or Agri-biotech), Bio-industrial, Bio-services, and Bio-informatics (or Bioinformatics). At present, the most developed segment of the biotechnology sector of India is bio-pharma or biopharmaceuticals. By revenue, the biopharmaceuticals segment accounted for 64% of the Indian biotechnology industry in the FY16, followed by bio-services (18%) and bio-agri (14%). And, hence, the majority of companies in Indian biotech industry relate to the biopharma segment.
The galloping growth in the Indian biotechnology sector will be boosted and enhanced by the following main drivers and factors in coming years --- rising economic prosperity, increasing health consciousness, billion-plus population base, growing and refining domestic and international demands, availability of intensive R&D facilities, strong governmental support and initiatives, easy and cheaper availability of technocrats and skilled manpower, overall cost-effectiveness, and emerging new requirements in various economic sectors. As far as fillips and promotions from Indian Government are concerned, the following are noteworthy --- massive support for developing human capital and R&D infrastructure (in Union Budget 2017-18, DBT received over US$300 million), permitting 100% FDI through automatic route for manufacturing drugs and pharmaceuticals, and many other strategies and initiatives for raising the value of the industry to US$100 billion by the year 2025. Thus, in coming years and near future, India can become a globally-alluring and lucrative destination in the biotechnology sector, particularly in the areas of vaccines and recombinant therapeutics, transgenic rice, Genetically Modified (GM) vegetables, industrial enzymes, bio-markers and companion diagnostics, contract researches, clinical trials, and so on.
