Sector: Pharma

Ghana aims to become a fully integrated, competitive pharmaceutical hub, enhancing domestic health security and boosting regional exports with a diversified portfolio of advanced products, including biopharmaceuticals, vaccines, sera, and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs).

Ghana’s pharmaceutical market is projected to be about $600m, with a compound annual growth rate of 4% (2024 –2028), reaching $735m by 2028 (Fitch Solutions, 2024). Ghana’s healthcare system relies heavily on the importation of essential medicinal products. Only thirty-four pharmaceutical manufacturing plants operate locally, fulfilling only 30% of Ghana’s medicinal needs while exporting to the ECOWAS region. This highlights the boundless opportunities for investors to venture into pharmaceutical manufacturing in Ghana.

Strategic Importance

Given the material market size, existing starting point, and potential to create 4,000–6,000 high-quality jobs Ghana has a compelling opportunity to invest in pharmaceuticals.

Ghana already possesses pharmaceutical capabilities and a track record of exports into the West African region. The opportunity in this regional market is material and growing, projected to rise from $7 billion today to $11 billion by 2028 (Fitch Solution, 2024). Moreover, sector growth will enhance skills and deepen economic complexity.

This long-term initiative requires concerted investment and learning from global examples like Ireland and India. These hubs demonstrate that it takes decades (up to 50 years) to strengthen pharmaceutical ecosystems and evolve into fully integrated hubs.

Local and Global Context

The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry in Ghana started in the 1960s with basic pre-packaging of imported drugs and has evolved to manufacture oral liquids, capsules, sera, and injectables. However, the sector primarily focuses on formulation manufacturing, leaving significant portions of the value chain untapped.

The Ghanaian pharmaceutical sector faces challenges in scaling operations and addressing inefficiencies but holds significant potential due to local market size and growth in the ECOWAS region.

Globally, the industry is shifting toward advanced therapies and near-shoring, providing opportunities for Ghana to develop its manufacturing capabilities.

Ghana’s regulatory framework is strong: The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has WHO Maturity Level 3 certification (one of only five African countries).

Global Trends in the Pharmaceutical Sector

The global pharmaceutical sector is projected to reach $2 trillion by 2028 (Global Use of Medicines, 2024), driven by the rise of high-value drugs, including biologics and other advanced therapies, mainly in developed markets. The near-shoring trend has strengthened as manufacturers seek to improve supply chain resilience, and countries prioritise nearshore production for national security.

Expiry of patent exclusivity is expected to unlock a further $81B in the generics market in the next four years – 70% of this will relate to small molecules patents” (Evaluate Pharma).

Regional market focus and cost-efficient distribution are critical for success. Manufacturers with strengths in core “right-to-win” dimensions are best positioned to succeed. As a drug manufacturer, Ghana has the right to play in local and ECOWAS markets but does not yet have the right to win.

Regional Trends

West Africa’s regional pharmaceutical market is expected to grow significantly, presenting opportunities for Ghana. However, Ghana’s local and regional market volumes are fragmented due to thirty-five active producers with low plant utilisation levels. Sub-scale operations limit cost efficiency and quality standards. Most local producers struggle to compete with regional players and imports from India and other global hubs due to higher operating costs and inefficient sourcing practices.
