DKSH is the leading growth partner for pharmaceutical companies in Asia. Our experts provide a range of integrated Market Expansion Services across the entire value chain, ranging from registration through to marketing, promotion and distribution.
Our capillary network reaches more than 150,000 hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors and drugstores in Asia. Products are transported, stored and distributed efficiently thanks to our unmatched capacities and expertise in the region. Our solid infrastructure and dedication to compliance and quality reduces business risks for our partners.
We are committed to delivering the results you need to be successful. That’s why we continuously invest in our sales and marketing organization, which is fully embedded in our operations. Our teams work with clear measurements, activity-driven KPIs and standardized brand planning processes across the region. They are supported by regional Sales and Marketing Excellence and Business Development teams, allowing us to duplicate success across markets.
Headquartered and publicly listed in Switzerland, our local experts provide services to pharmaceutical companies in 13 Asian markets: Brunei, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
With a fast-growing middle class and several markets opening up, Asia offers great opportunities for pharmaceutical companies. However, the region faces a constantly changing regulatory framework, pressure on government budgets and an influx of non-generic and counterfeit products.
In this highly complex market, we use our market and industry expertise to develop customized growth strategies for pharma companies of any size. We understand that one size doesn’t fit every situation. This is why we develop customized and integrated solutions for your business success across Asia.
Whether you are looking to launch in a new market or increase sales of products nearing the end of the life cycle, DKSH is your reliable and trustworthy outsourcing partner. Some of our current pharmaceutical clients include Bayer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Roche and Sanofi.
We also help customers (chain pharmacies, personal care stores, hospitals, clinics) to grow their business in new and existing markets by providing access to high-quality products, staff training and customer services, like consignment inventory management at the customer level.
For companies wishing to license products in the Asian markets, we are a proven partner through stand-alone entities such as Medinova, Favorex and BiO-LiFE brand-owning businesses based in Switzerland and Asia.
We are experts in business integration and can support you at every stage of the product life cycle, from pre-launch regulatory support, product launches to full services for mature and non-core brands. Under our full service solution business model, we take charge of the whole value chain. You can also work with us on selected services.
