The Malaysian Competition Commission (MyCC) has commissioned Third World Network (TWN), an independent non-profit international research and advocacy organization, to conduct a market review on the pharmaceutical sector in Malaysia. The market review is being conducted by the MyCC pursuant to powers under chapter 3 of the Competition Act 2010 (MCA).
The review is being commissioned to determine the pharmaceutical sector’s market profile, and TWN has examined industry issues such as:
- market structure and supply chain issues;
- the level of competition among players at different levels of the supply chain;
- identification of anti-competitive practices; and
- whether governmental intervention in the industry will be necessary.
As part of the market review, TWN has prepared a draft final report on the outcome of the review, which is available on MyCC’s website.
