One of India's largest pharmaceutical companies Sun Pharma has undergone an enviable growth in its distribution network across the country. There are many reasons why this expansion is occurring, including increasing demand for high quality, low cost medications, higher healthcare awareness and government assistance with pharmaceutical development. Sun Pharma has a product portfolio that spans generic drugs, branded drug products, OTC products and specialty treatments, targeted to a wide variety of therapeutic segments including oncology, cardiology, neurology and dermatology. With the increase in demands from different consumer base, distributors of Sun Pharma products have enjoyed significant growth. The increase in lifestyle related and chronic diseases, mainly diabetes and heart conditions, is a major growth driver, resulting in increased demand for Sun Pharma’s drugs in the urban and rural markets.
