Pharmaceuticals
With an 9% annual growth rate, Canada is the third fastest growing market in the world for pharmaceuticals . The sector benefits from Canada’s thriving biotechnology industry, which also fuels pharmaceutical companies’ growth. Add to these advantages a well-educated workforce with highly-trained scientists and technicians, as well as business-friendly government policies, and it’s not surprising that nearly every major pharmaceutical company has manufacturing and/or R&D operations in Canada.
Discover why Canada provides a great business environment for all aspects of the pharmaceutical industry:
- Globally-recognized industry
- A vital, proactive approach to R&D
- Facilitated access to export markets
