India and China Play Central Roles in Global Pharmaceutical Supply Chains
India remains a key supplier of generic medicines to the US, producing about 40% of the drugs prescribed there, supported by cost advantages and manufacturing expertise. Meanwhile, China's growing dominance in producing active pharmaceutical ingredients raises concerns about supply chain concentration, quality control, and strategic dependence. Both countries play significant roles in global pharmaceutical supply chains, with India focusing on affordable generics and China expanding its influence through large-scale API production and government-backed industrial strategies.
