The market presents high-value opportunities across specialty therapeutics, oncology drugs, biologics, and contract manufacturing, supported by rising investment in R&D and advanced treatment infrastructure. Growth in online pharmacies, homecare treatment models, and centralized procurement frameworks is further enhancing market penetration and long-term stability.
