In October the director of the US Food and Drug Administration’s Centre for Drug Evaluation and Research Janet Woodcock told a House of Representatives subcommittee on health that the number

of companies in China manufacturing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) had more than doubled since 2010

Indian dependency of API and raw materials on china is also very high the need to safeguard the world’s supply of medicines from the vulnerabilities inherent in relying on any

China’s lockdown had a knock-on effect on its neighbour India, which relies on those APIs to produce generic drugs.

This could have a long-term impact on supply chains and it can push pharma companies to seek to move their API manufacturing back to home.

As par The Pharmaceutical Export Promotion Council report, India exported $19bn worth of pharma products in 2018-2019
