Pharmaceuticals in Peru - statistics & Facts
The use of medicinal herbs and plants was at the core of holistic medical practices among ancient civilizations in Peru. Rich in biodiversity and tradition, the country still embraces ancient medicine, which coexists in Peruvian households with a pharmaceutical market that surpasses a billion U.S. dollars in worth. Today, a third of Peru’s pharmaceutical revenue is generated by its vaccine and oncology drug segments, with an OTC market driven by vitamins, minerals, and analgesics.
