Canadian pharmaceutical profits are expected to increase slightly in 2011 but industry pressures, such as emerging market competition and governmental fiscal restraint, will continue to restrict growth.

Despite these challenges the report says the fundamentals of the pharmaceutical industry remain solid because of demand from aging populations. Innovative approaches will be needed for Canadian companies to maintain a share of this market.
