Proxima Research Participation

At the forum, Ekaterina Markova, a speaker from Proxima Research Kazakhstan, presented an overview of Kazakhstan’s pharmaceutical market, focusing on consumption trends of domestic pharmaceutical products in 2024. Her report was based on insights from Proxima Research’s analytical projects: Market Audit, PromoTest, and RxTest. Special attention was given to the growth of local production, market demands, and shifting trends in pharmaceutical consumption across different regions.

The forum served as an important platform for industry stakeholders to exchange experiences and address pressing issues. The event format provided participants with opportunities not only to engage in panel discussions and round tables with regulators but also to hold one-on-one meetings with top executives from leading pharmaceutical companies, pharmacy organizations, and professional associations.
