The Russian pharmaceutical market is one of the fastest
developing, currently growing at double the rate of the global
pharmaceutical market (over 10% annually[1]). Russia is benefiting
from a growing economy and with the increased healthcare investments
being made by the government, the market is set to enjoy a sustained
and prolonged period of expansion. CPhI Russia @ IPhEB and its
co-located events provide the ideal platform to break into this
attractive region, with both domestic and international buyers and
suppliers all looking to meet, network and drive the Russian market.

This year's platinum partner, JSC "Pharmasyntez" exemplifies the
growth in the region, through their multi-million dollar investments
in domestic drug production- with three new sites opening in 2014.
The company will feature as an exhibitor at the event, showcasing
their new dosage form capabilities- sterile powders and solutions for
injection.

Alongside JSC "Pharmasyntez", the total number of exhibitors
vastly exceeds that of last year, rising from 65 exhibitors to more
than 200. The exhibition moves to the Lenexpo Exhibition Complex to
further facilitate the high levels of growth and mirroring the
expanding domestic market.

of expansion, four years into its Pharma 2020 plan. With increased

domestic production by 50%, the Russian pharma landscape is proving
to be a very attractive venture for international buyers and
suppliers looking to break into this market. CPhI Russia plays a very
important role within the region to accelerate this growth and
further drive innovation within the market- a key goal within the
country's plan", Erik Heemskerk, Brand Director Pharma.
