Medplus Health Services IPO Industry Overview   

India’s domestic pharmaceutical market was valued at ₹ 1,500 billion in the financial year 2020, having grown at a CAGR of approximately 10% in the last five years, and is expected to grow at a similar rate going forward. The key market characteristics of the domestic pharmaceutical market include a low per capita health expenditure, a high share of private out-of-pocket expenses (which includes purchases from pharmacies), and lower penetration across rural areas which has led to a high opportunity for growth given the limited penetration of health services in rural and urban areas.
