LONDON, November 10 /PRNewswire/ --

CPhI conferences are delighted to announce the addition of a one day briefing on Successfully Sourcing from India and China to the 2008 Pharma conference line-up. This one day event is being held on the 10th December 2008 at the Marriott Hotel, Frankfurt and is already proving to be another hugely successful event from CPhI Worldwide.

Pharma sourcing from India China has seen a rapid rise in recent years with pharmaceutical companies looking to emerging market 'hotspots' to remain competitive in an increasingly price sensitive market. However, sourcing from these new markets comes with potentially catastrophic consequences if product quality and IP rights are compromised.

The conference will provide delegates with a concise, yet comprehensive overview of the regulatory and competitor landscapes, coupled with reliable key market trends to enable companies to successfully source from India and China.

Over 10 experts from big names such as, Merck Co, Dishman, Frost Sullivan, Thomson Reuters, Bayer Healthcare, CBI and Dr Reddy's Laboratories will address the fundamental challenges of sourcing from these developing markets. A must attend event for all in the industry.
