“Billion People Market Waiting for International Investors”

For different reasons, Iran is counted as one of the most strategic countries in the whole world
by having lots of natural, unnatural and educated hu¬man resources, low-cost energy, strategic
location, access to free waters, etc. During the past decades, this country has made a huge
development and certainly has great potential in sectors like science, technology and industry.

The most important and main factors for manufacturing pharmaceutical raw materials like being
rich in minerals, production of petrochemical products and having enough technical knowledge
has surely provided great potentials for Iran in these factors. Known as one of the greatest countries
based on having oil reserves, a strong petrochemical industry has been formed in this country
and during the last couple of years, tech¬nical knowledge of manufacturing pharmaceutical raw
materials and fin¬ished products have grown so rapidly that right now 71.2% of raw materials and
97% of finished dosages of country’s demand is met domestically.

Iran as one of the pioneers of the petrochemical industry in the heart of Middle East is completely
ready for foreign investments. By investing in Iran, foreign investors can make a good profit from
the domestic market and exporting the products to other countries; where more than one billion
people are in need of medicines. This population with a growing demand simply clarifies the
importance of investing in a region like the Middle East and especially in Iran as a country that has
a good infrastructure and more than 180 companies in both finished and API sectors.
