These figures are driven by a rise in health awareness and disposable incomes, increase in demand for better healthcare facilities and quality of care, and an increase in spending on preventive healthcare and wellness.

The diagnostics market in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, the states in which it has a significant presence, is projected to grow to Rs 12,000-13,000 crore by FY23.

The Indian chemicals market was valued at $166 billion (around 4 percent share in the global chemical industry) in 2019. It is expected to reach around $326 billion by 2025, with an anticipated growth of around 12 percent CAGR.
