Marketing Plan: Launch of Osamax
Marketing Plan for the launch of “OSAMAX ”
Current market situation

Nepalese Pharmaceutical market and its marketing practices is complex to understand. With no such specific guidelines and policies from its regulatory body DDA, Nepalese pharmaceuticals feel the gap for visionary support from government. Though the country is self reliant in various categories the chunk of market share is still being enjoyed by foreign and Indian companies due to the lack of specific guidelines. Nepal pharmaceutical Laboratory is going to introduce its new product in the market where its competitors already exists. Osamax competing brands are :
RESTOFOS – Sun Pharmaceuticals – Indian company
OSTEOFOS – Cipla Pharmaceuticals – Indian company
FOSSIL – Magnus Pharmaceuticals – Nepali company
Since it is difficult to adopt differentiation strategy in pharmaceutical products in terms of product and its features, NPL has to work on other aspects to add value to the product and gain competitive advantage over competitors’ product.

    The global pharmaceutical market is likely to undergo a wide variety of changes with new competition arising in India, China, Malaysia, South Korea, and Indonesia. This new competition has a growing economy and has made a difference between the product cost and disposable income of consumers.

    There are number of factors that have contributed towards this phenomenal growth in the drug industry. The initial event that initiated the growth was India’s agreement with WTO which gave protection to intellectual property rights and assurance to international investors. Also, there are several internal factors within India which have successfully contributed to the growth of the industry. Similar to China, India has comparative advantage in manufacturing and packaging which encouraged Western companies to outsource in India. The comparative advantage has been gained due to abundance of educated work force, low wage rates and the wide spread use of English as a business language. This latter factor, the wide use of English language is one of the main reasons why Western companies chose India over China. For foreign investors, it is much easier to conduct business…
