Executive Summary
BMI View: Croatia's entrance into the EU will accelerate its economic liberalisation and the development
of the country's private sector. It is also likely to bring about an influx of EU funding in modernising the
country's economy. The Croatian pharmaceutical market continues to pose a challenging environment to
domestic and international drugmakers, but we believe EU accession will ease the regulatory burden as
legislation is harmonised with EU norms. In 2013 the economy is expected to post weak growth in
anticipation of capital inflows from the EU. However, the imposition of across the board price cuts later in
2013 will weigh heavily on the pharmaceutical market. We forecast weak pharmaceutical market growth for
the next decade due to the prevailing economic conditions in Europe. Healthcare spending is projected to
rise significantly over the next 10 years, in line with a rapidly ageing population.
Headline Expenditure Projections
• Pharmaceuticals: HRK7.50bn (US$1.28bn) in 2012 to HRK7.05bn (US$1.22bn) in 2013; -6% in local
currency and -5.1% in US dollar terms. Forecast changed from Q213, owing to price cuts
announcement from Health Ministry.
• Healthcare: HRK27.04bn (US$4.62bn) in 2012 to HRK28.27bn (US$4.88bn) in 2013; +4.5% in local
currency and 5.6% in US dollar terms. Forecast changed from Q213, owing to updated World Health
Organisation figures on government and private expenditure.
