It appears that the Indonesian pharmaceutical market share is highly fragmented with a small share of the market share. How has the ranking of Indonesian pharmaceutical companies changed during the last 3 years? can be seen in the table below:
It can be seen in the table above that the top 4 positions are always constant, while the 6-10 positions change relatively every year, this is an indication that the competition is very tight in this position. There is a possibility that the 6-10 positions in the coming year will change again. In positions 1-4 are relatively constant but there is a change in the market share value. In 2016, there were “top performers”, namely Boehringer Ingelheim and PT Kimia Farma where Boehringer Ingelheim suddenly entered the top 10 which was not included in the previous year at all. Meanwhile, PT Kimia Farma increased dramatically from 13th (2014), 10th (2015) then 6th (2016).
