Why Surat is a High-Growth Pharma Market

Surat, classified as a Tier 2 city in Gujarat, is currently serving a population of 4.5 Million+ across the city and its surrounding districts. The healthcare sector here is expanding at 10-12% annually — well above the national average — and the demand for quality pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and primary care continues to rise sharply.

Key factors making Surat ideal for a PCD pharma franchise:

  • Large healthcare consumer base — Hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and chemists across the city create consistent product demand.
  • Government healthcare initiatives — Schemes like Ayushman Bharat, PM-JAY, and state-level insurance programmes are boosting medicine consumption.
  • Rising chronic disease burden — Cardiac, diabetic, hypertension and lifestyle-disease prescriptions are growing year-on-year.
  • Insurance penetration — More residents now have health cover, leading to higher per-capita medicine spend.
  • Growth in private healthcare — Multi-speciality hospitals, polyclinics, and diagnostic centres are multiplying.

For any entrepreneur looking to enter the pharma distribution business, Surat presents one of the most fertile grounds in Gujarat.
