India's Pharmaceutical Market Grows 12.1% in July Led by Sun Pharma and Zydus
India's pharmaceutical market grew 12.1% year-on-year in July 2026, driven by price increases, new product launches, and volume growth, according to Nomura. Zydus Lifesciences and Sun Pharma led growth among major companies, with Sun Pharma becoming the market leader in generic semaglutide pre-filled devices. Growth was supported by chronic therapies, including anti-diabetes and vitamins/minerals/nutrition segments. While the market shows cyclical recovery, structural challenges from trade generics and private-label medicines persist, prompting large firms to focus on innovation and new products.
