Global Infrastructure: Trend Monitor

Indian Healthcare Edition: Outlook 20092013


ADVISORY

The Global Infrastructure: Trend Monitor is a series of publications allowing infrastructure investments to be compared across geographies. In this third edition, we analyze the medium-term expenditure on healthcare infrastructure across India. Our aim is to help improve the quality of debate in identifying the geographically attractive markets in Indias healthcare infrastructure.

ii Global Infrastructure: Trend Monitor Indian Healthcare Edition

Foreword

India saw rapid economic growth from 2003 to the start of the global economic slowdown in 2008. Among the largest economies in the world, its growth rate was second only to that of China. However, few would disagree that Indias past expenditure on infrastructure has fallen short of demand and, as a result, it may be constraining current and future economic growth. With a population of over a billion, the coordination and strategic choices concerning expenditures on healthcare infrastructures are of vital importance. These are especially challenging given the complex migration patterns typically seen within emerging economies. It remains to be seen how the policies currently in place will shape the Indian healthcare infrastructure market in the future. Private healthcare capacity in India is already significant. Given the anticipated incentives to be offered by the government, including the use of user fee financed provision and the opportunities for Public Private Partnerships (PPP), we believe that the private sector market will attract further foreign investment. This third edition of the Global Infrastructure: Trend Monitor presents forecasts for current and future healthcare infrastructure expenditure across India. By this, we aim to help improve the quality of the debate on the size and geographic location of opportunities in India. We hope you enjoy this publication and find our commentary on this exciting market informative.

Key Findings
Insights The Indian healthcare industry is estimated to double in value by 2012 and more than quadruple by 20171. The main factors propelling this growth are rising income levels, changing demographics and illness profiles, with a shift from chronic to lifestyle diseases. This is likely to result in considerable infrastructure challenges and opportunities. We believe there is growing appreciation for the role private involvement may have in meeting public demand, and government are looking into the use of PPP models to help improve infrastructure and healthcare provision. The government is also exploring setting up state funded healthcare insurance schemes to support healthcare delivery for the poorer sections of the population. For investment to be effective, the provision of healthcare infrastructure and insurance should be strategically coordinated. Unlike in developed markets, where there is a focus on generating specialized healthcare facilities and innovations to drive improvements in health services, the Indian healthcare delivery model (including use of PPP) has to date only had success in the provision of more healthcare services in relatively small segments. One of the major challenges remains the need to develop scalable and sustainable healthcare delivery models to deal with Indias diversity and changing socioeconomic population profiles. The major innovation in Indian healthcare delivery models should be focused on developing and delivering low cost, affordable, basic healthcare services. Model Outputs Based on the outputs of our econometric model expenditure on healthcare infrastructure across the Indian states is projected to grow by an average of 5.8 percent per annum between 2009 and 2013, taking the total expenditure in 2013 to US$14.2 billion. Of the 32 states considered, the six states of Maharashtra, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Andra Pradesh are forecast to represent approximately 50 percent of the expenditures for the 2009-2013 period. Of the larger states, expenditure on healthcare infrastructure is expected to grow the fastest in Kerala, Rajasthan, and West Bengal.

Important Notes
Notes 1) This publication distinguishes between model output-oriented commentary, which is based on the data collated from stated sources, and insight-oriented commentary, which is based on the views among KPMG firms professionals. The limitation of the former is that it does not attempt to capture market developments, new initiatives or shifts in policy. 2) The 2009-2013 data are modeled using the latest figures available at the time of writing. 3) All figures in this publication are in 2006 U.S. dollars based on exchange rates as of June 1 to facilitate direct comparisons and they represent all investment, by both public and private sector, in healthcare infrastructure which may include activities such as medical research, drug production or primary care services. 4) Annual growth rates over the period 2009-2013 are in real terms, i.e. they exclude the impact of inflation. Objective The aim of the Trend Monitor is to help stimulate informed debate of global infrastructure opportunities by providing observations and on-the-ground market insight underpinned by econometric modeling. Existing publications tend to focus on the short-term, identifying opportunities that are about to come to market, or the long-term, estimating the size of the required investment over decades to come. The Trend Monitor is purposefully positioned between the two in order to present a medium-term (2009- 2013) view of market potential. Our analysis builds on what we believe to be the most consistent data sources, and relies on only a small number of explicit assumptions. The publication also leverages the local specialization of professionals in KPMGs Indian member firm to seek to present a better informed view of the future. Definitions and classifications Size and prospects of individual states: Large and growing fast states where 2006 expenditure is above $500m and investment is expected to expand relatively rapidly, with average projected annual growth rates of over 6.5 percent in the period 2009-2013. Large and growing slowly states where 2006 expenditure is above $500m though investment is expected to expand relatively slowly, with average projected annual growth rates below 6.5 percent in the period 2009-2013. Small and growing fast states where 2006 expenditure is below $500m while investment is expected to expand relatively rapidly, with average projected annual growth rates of more than 6.5 percent in the period 2009-2013. Small and growing slowly states where 2006 expenditure is below $500m and investment is expected to expand relatively slowly, with average projected annual growth rates below 6.5 percent in the period 2009-2013. The term state is used throughout this publication as a reference to various areas of the respective federal structures of India. The Trend Monitor is analyzed with all 28 states and four of the seven union territories of India as data for the least populous union territories of Dadra and Nagar Haveli; Daman and Diu; and Lakshadweep were unavailable. Method A detailed overview of the research and analysis method applied can be found in the Method section of this report.

Model Output
Total healthcare infrastructure expenditure for 2013 is predicted to reach $14.2 billion, a near 50 percent increase on the 2006 total. Of the 32 states, the six states of Maharashtra, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Andra Pradesh represent just over 50 percent of the total expenditure in 2006. Maharashtra alone spent around 12 percent of the total expenditure at approximately US$1.1 billion, yet the state accommodates fewer than 10 percent of the overall population. Twelve states spent less than US$100million each in 2006, together representing less than 4.5 percent of total national expenditure and 3.6 percent of the population. Among these the smallest expenditure states were Goa, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Mizoram, Sikkim, and Puducherry. The state of Uttar Pradesh was only the third largest in terms of absolute expenditure in 2006 but hosts over 16 percent of the population. The states of Himachal Pradesh, Manipur and Andaman and Nicobar Islands were the only states to spend over US$30 per capita on healthcare infrastructure in 2006, with about two thirds of the remaining states spending less than US$15, including the 6 largest absolute expenditure states. The state with the highest per capita healthcare expenditure for 2006 is the Andaman and Nicobar Islands at $36, while the state with lowest is Bihar at just $1.90, revealing uneven spending on healthcare infrastructure. The states of Manipur and Nagaland are expected to grow the fastest through the medium term, each projected to have average annual growth rates over 8 percent against an overall national rate of 5.8 percent. Of the larger states, expenditure on healthcare infrastructure is expected to grow the fastest in Rajasthan and West Bengal. Maharashtra maintains its dominance as the state with the highest cumulative healthcare infrastructure expenditure over the forecast period, with a projected spend at over US$7 .3 billion. Only the two other states of Rajasthan and West Bengal are projected to witness cumulative healthcare expenditures of over US$5 billion from 2009 to 2013.

Global Infrastructure: Trend Monitor Indian Healthcare Edition 8

Insight
Against a world average of around four hospital beds per 1000 population, India lags behind at just over 0.72. This is a clear indication of the insufficiency of healthcare infrastructure in India. The Indian healthcare industry is estimated to double in value by 2012 and more than quadruple by 2017 The . main factors propelling this growth are rising income levels, changing demographics and illness profiles with a shift from chronic to lifestyle diseases. This is likely to result in considerable infrastructure challenges and opportunities. Indian healthcare infrastructure over the last decade has not kept pace with growth in population3. The available capacity has increased but not in line with rising demand. This is likely to be in part due to lack of capacity building in semi urban and rural areas. The Indian healthcare system is controlled by respective state authorities, presenting an opportunity to improve responsiveness to healthcare needs at a more local level. Our analysis suggests that there is uneven focus on healthcare infrastructure in India. The variety of organizational structures and processes in healthcare delivery may result in greater inequalities between geographical areas. Government has a growing agenda to deal with the issues of urban healthcare infrastructure as rural to urban migration has significantly increased demand for these services. The healthcare sector in India is undergoing considerable reform prompted by the continuing phase of rapid economic growth. Emerging markets, such as diagnostic chains and medical device manufacturers, are attracting increasing amounts of investment. We believe there is a growing appreciation for the role private involvement may have in meeting public demand and government is piloting the use of PPP models to help improve infrastructure and healthcare provision.

Method
This publication draws on data from sources named below and insights from professionals in KPMGs Indian member firm, in order to present both model outputs and commentary on the Indian healthcare infrastructure market. Information on market size has not been readily available and as such it is produced using an econometric model, utilizing data sourced externally and a limited number of explicit assumptions. The dataset4 of our econometric model is presented in the Appendix. Our forecasts of the future size of the healthcare infrastructure markets across India encompass expenditure at different levels of government as well as the private sector on building and maintaining healthcare infrastructure for uses such as medical research, drug production or primary care services. Our modeling relies on past trends to project the future and does not attempt to capture the undercurrents of political risk, financial and other market fluctuations, population growth, or sudden spikes in infrastructure activity. The process of data gathering and presentation was as follows: Construction output data (2000-2006) for 32 Indian states was obtained from Indian National Income Accounts at factor cost and converted to market prices. The construction output data was converted to US$ as at June 1, 2000 exchanged rate and rebased in 2006 prices using a price index from U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. Construction output for each state was multiplied by 0.66 to arrive at healthcare construction output (including new build as well as repair and maintenance). This ratio is based on the average long-run ratio in UK Construction Statistics Annual (UK Department of Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform). Healthcare construction output was multiplied by 3.6 to include the expenditure on design and professional services, land, plant and materials. This ratio was derived from the UK Construction Statistics Annual and UK Quarterly Capital Expenditure Inquiry (UK Office of National Statistics). The forward-looking expenditures up to 2013 were estimated by linear extension of the line of best fit for the historical data. The per capita expenditures where created using 2006 population sizes (www.india.gov.in) except for Jammu and Kashmir (2005), Nagaland (1997), West Bengal (2004), and Puducherry (undated) due to availability of data. The population sizes were considered to remain unchanged in the forecast. It should be noted that the numbers for India are not directly comparable with those presented in other editions of Global Infrastructure: Trend Monitor as different sources and methods have been used in producing them.

4 The datasets have been produced in collaboration with Dr Stephen Gruneberg.
