Pharmaceuticals

Sri Lankan pharmaceutical manufacturers have built a reputation for quality, process discipline and regulatory compliance, producing a wide range of finished dosage forms for domestic and export markets.

The State Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing Corporation anchors the supply of essential medicines. The private sector that contains 84 licensed manufacturers produces tablets, capsules, oral liquids, topical formulations, injectables and saline solutions. The industry rests on these two pillars while being a part of the strong culture of Good Manufacturing Practice and a location between South Asia, East Africa and the Middle East, Sri Lanka is an emerging, agile supplier of generic medicines.

In the process, Sri Lankan pharmaceuticals move beyond import substitution towards export-ready, research-backed products.
