New Delhi: Drug major Cipla is eyeing acquisitions and inorganic partnerships in the US market while consolidating its presence across segments in the domestic market.
The Mumbai-based company is also looking to improve the top line in Europe and margin expansion in South Africa. "Product launches through delisting strategy and as well as inorganic partnerships and acquisitions will remain one of our key priorities for the US market," Cipla Global Chief Financial Officer Ashish Adukia said in an analyst call.
The drug maker would also focus on commercial execution of existing portfolios and resolution of USFDA observations, he added. In the South African market, Cipla would build on its performance aided by growth in private and select tender business with greater emphasis on margin expansion, Adukia stated. "In emerging markets and Europe, top priority is to improve top line while margins are maintained at sustainable levels," he said.
