Executive Summary

The Bulgarian pharmaceutical market, like many others, underwent significant reform before, during and after EU accession. While the country remains one of the least developed in the EU both economically and in terms of healthcare, market reform looks set to boost patient access to medicines as well as pharmaceutical company sales in medium term. Following low single-digit growth in 2005 and 2006, sales increased substantially during 2007 and 2008. Over the next five years, sales of pharmaceuticals – which include prescription drugs and over-the-counter medicines – will increase from US$1.09bn to US$1.56bn at constant exchange rates, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.45%.

In BMI’s Pharmaceutical Business Environment Rankings for Q209, Bulgaria occupies 12th place (out of 20) in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and 43rd (out of 71) globally. While sales growth has picked up in recent years, it remains below many other markets in CEE. The relatively small market, and per capita spending of only US$143 in 2008, limits potential for multinational drugmakers. Furthermore while regulations have improved in the last two years, they remain less developed than in fellow EU members. Access to innovation also remains a key challenge in Bulgaria.

Bulgaria’s health system has been in the process of reform for many years. However, the crucial aspect of re-addressing health funding has yet to be completed. This issue is to be delayed again, until after June 2009, when the next government comes into power. Ruling coalition party, the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), plans to carry out a regional re-evaluation of healthcare systems in Western Europe in order to devise a new model, which will take more time than initially anticipated, according to Todor Kunchev, deputy director of the parliamentary health commission.

As part of Bulgaria’s reform plans, the Ministry of Health has also introduced a bill to create a medical inspectorate. Comprised of patient representatives and healthcare professionals, the inspectorate would be responsible for supervising expenditure and improving quality and efficiencies within individual facilities.

Pharmaceutical trade has seen a massive growth over the last two years. EU accession in 2007, for example, saw triple digit growth in the export sector. Bulgaria’s low cost base is a major advantage for multinationals. EU membership has aided this somewhat, although the largest increases have been witnessed in exports to Russia over the past three years.

Despite restructuring its manufacturing operations in early 2009, leading drugmaker Actavis reaffirmed its commitment to Bulgaria with the investment of around EUR60mn in two production lines in the company’s plant in Dupnitsa.
