Risks losing out further due to pricing policies!
Mixed conditions

Though exceptions exist, biopharma innovators face: Strict price regimes & weak • reimbursement Underdeveloped/sluggish • regulatory systems Localization • Erosion of IPRs • Limited R&D capacity •

Innovation increasingly de-prioritized + uncertainty and regulatory delays
Gaps in biopharma IPRs + draconic market access terms
