“Billion People Market Waiting for International Investors”

For different reasons Iran is counted as one of the most strategic countries
in the whole world with having lots of natural, unnatural and educated
human resources, low cost energy, strategic location, access to free
waters, etc. During the past decades this country has made a huge
development and certainly has a great potential in sectors like science,
technology and industry.
The most important and main factors for manufacturing pharmaceutical
raw materials like being rich in minerals, production of petrochemical
products and having enough technical knowledge has surely provided
great potentials for Iran in these factors. Known as one of the greatest
countries based on having oil reserves, a strong petrochemical industry
has been formed in this country and during last couple of years technical
knowledge of manufacturing pharmaceutical raw materials and finished
products has grown rapidly which right now 67% of raw materials and
97% of finished dosages of country’s demand is met domestically.

Iran as one of the pioneers of petrochemical industry in the heart of
Middle East is completely ready for foreign investments. Foreign investors
by investing in Iran can make a good profit from the domestic market
and exporting the products to other countries; where more than one
billion people are in need of medicines. This population with a growing
demand simply clarifies the importance of investing in a region like Middle
East and especially in Iran as a country with having a good infrastructure
and more than 180 companies in both finished and API sectors.
