Industry Outlook
The global pharmaceuticals market has been driven by a number of factors, like the increase of chronic diseases (diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases); increased uptake of medicines owing to higher per capita income and awareness; wider spread and availability of health insurance; and population growth. Moreover, the pandemic has boosted the efforts in this space globally. The global pharmaceuticals market recorded a 4% CAGR, growing from approximately $1,20,000 crores in 2018 to around $1,49,400 crores in 2023.
The Indian pharmaceutical industry is the world’s third largest by volume and was valued at ₹360,000-380,000 crores (including bulk drugs and formulation exports) as of last fiscal.

Fabtech Technologies Limited derives a substantial portion of its revenue from a limited number of large projects. Any delay, modification, or cancellation of these projects due to factors beyond the company’s control, such as client budget constraints, regulatory changes, or economic slowdowns, could significantly impact its financial performance and cash flows. This reliance on a few key projects increases vulnerability to revenue volatility.
The company’s operations are heavily concentrated in the GCC, MENA, and ECO regions, which are prone to political instability, economic fluctuations, and regulatory changes. Adverse developments in these regions, such as geopolitical tensions or economic downturns, could disrupt ongoing projects, delay payments, or reduce future orders, negatively affecting the company’s business and financial condition.
Fabtech relies on third-party contractors for project execution. Any failure by these contractors to perform on time, meet quality standards, or comply with legal requirements could lead to project delays, cost overruns, or reputational damage. Such risks are beyond the company’s direct control and could adversely impact its ability to deliver projects as scheduled.
