ABSTRACT
Whether there is any framework or not, sometimes businesses grow and run into an economy. After a matured stage, the community starts developing the industry for their own good. Bangladesh has a very competitive market inside and also outside from its own pharmaceuticals industry, even where multinational organizations are facing many challenges to compete with local organizations. But in this matured stage how much indigenous technology they could reveal out from the system. Students are getting out from universities, but they're not learning how to develop through research. They are becoming just operational workers. But through incubation and better investment, this situation can be improved. Besides this another threat is coming nearby to this industry. Patent rights valuation will make the local organizations weaker just because they are compounding the resources ignoring investments into molecule development. Several Active Pharmaceuticals Ingredients (APIs) are being produced here, but not in that large scale. To cope up with this situation government and DDA should come up some strategic plans to stand against future threats.
