// CPhI show preview CPhI South America and P-MEC South America — being launched to serve one of the world’s fastest-growing pharma markets after China. The events will debut at Rio de Janeiro’s new “Cidade Nova” Convention Center on 19–21 August 2008. CPhI South America and P-MEC South America are being introduced against a market background of rapid growth and major opportunities triggered by changing legislation. Latin and Central America represent a pharma market estimated at US$33 billion, with an annual growth rate of 13% — double the world average. Pharmaceutical majors and Indian companies are active across the region, where tougher patent legislation is creating demand for pirate copy drug replacements. Mexico and Brazil together represent 65% of the market, with 5% and 30% respectively, followed by Argentina (9%) and Venezuela (6%). State healthcare policy sees Venezuela leading the annual growth league at 20% — followed by Brazil at 18%. South America’s pharma industry reflects a combination of national and international producers and partnerships that span the branded and generic sectors — and steadily increasing overseas activity by South American producers. CMPi’s new South American events will be staged in Brazil in every second year, alternating with other Latin American host nations. The third event debut next year will be that of P-MEC Japan, alongside CPhI Japan and ICSE Japan in April. Next year’s CPhI Worldwide, with ICSE and P-MEC, will be staged at the Frankfurt Messe (Germany) on 30 September–2 October. The 2008 exhibition will be making its fifth visit to Frankfurt, which last hosted the event in 2003.
