Arab API\u2019s USD 165 mn factory, now under construction in Ain Sokhna, could help curb <\/strong>Egypt\u2019s hefty import bill for pharma raw materials<\/strong>, according to a statement<\/a> from the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone). The joint venture between local pharma players Eipico, the Arab Company for Drug Industries and Medical Appliances (Acdima), and the SCZone is expected to produce 350 tons of cephalosporin a year and fill a USD 250 mn hole in the country\u2019s import bill, according to an earlier statement<\/a> from project partner Eipico.<\/p>\n

Why it matters: <\/strong>The Egyptian Drug Authority's celebration<\/a> of achieving a 91.3% self-sufficiency rate for pharma products last May \u2014 the figure is likely a bit higher now \u2014 is deeply reliant on imported raw materials. True localization, as we\u2019ve seen in the auto industry and others, requires onshoring substantial chunks of the production chain. Today, we import some 90% of the raw materials used in pharma production. We once looked at self-sufficiency through a Nasserist lens; today, targeting it in key sectors is a mechanism to help cope with FX volatility and supply chain shocks.<\/p>\n
