Research and Markets: Lifting of Nuclear Sanctions on Iran will Open a Plethora of Opportunities in the Medical Tourism and Pharmaceutical Sectors

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8f3d8p/impact_of_lifting) has announced the addition of the "Impact of Lifting Nuclear Sanctions on Iran's Healthcare Market - Now and Later " report to their offering.

Several international sanctions were imposed over Iran over the last decade, restraining its international trade capacity. Yet, Iran is the 17th largest economy in the world; its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was $415.3 billion in 2014. The nuclear sanctions imposed by the United Nations on Iran resulted in trade bans and restrictions on financial transactions, severely affecting the pharmaceutical and medical tourism sectors.

This report assesses the impact of the lifting of these international sanctions on Iran's healthcare market.It analyses market dynamics such as drivers and restraints and also provides estimates on the future of Iran's pharmaceutical and medical tourism sectors.

Key Highlights

• The nuclear sanctions imposed by the United Nations on Iran resulted in trade bans and restrictions on financial transactions, severely affecting the pharmaceutical and medical tourism sector.
• Despite the import of food and drugs being exempted from sanctions, there has been a shortage of imported drugs due to financial road blocks such as restrictions on SWIFT payment methods.
• From 2015 onwards, there is an increasing international consensus to ease nuclear sanctions. This will likely allow the Iranian pharmaceutical sector to produce adequate drugs needed for domestic use. This will also improve the prospect of Iran opening up to trade and providing opportunities for pharmaceutical companies to be a part of its growth.
