The pharmaceuticals market in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has witnessed substantial growth over the years. However, it also faces several significant challenges. Regulatory hurdles pose a significant barrier for pharmaceutical companies looking to enter or expand in the UAE market. The UAE has stringent regulations in place to ensure the safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products, which can lead to lengthy approval processes and increased compliance costs. Additionally, intellectual property protection can be a concern, as the enforcement of patents and trademarks can be inconsistent, leading to potential issues with counterfeiting and patent infringements.
