The pharmaceutical sector of Bangladesh has achieved many milestones over the past 14 years. Not only do local companies now meet 90 percent of the country’s demand for medicines, but the products are also exported to around 150 countries, fetching hundreds of millions of dollars.

According to industry people, the dollar crisis in the country is gradually easing and the global supply chain is getting smoother, positively impacting the pharmaceuticals sector.

The pharmaceuticals sector of Bangladesh appears to be rebounding from the crisis stemming from both external and internal fronts in recent years as exports are growing, said a top official.
