Nepal’s pharmaceutical industry is a critical component of its healthcare system, supplying
essential medicines across allopathic (modern medicine), ayurvedic (traditional herbal), and
veterinary segments. Allopathic medicines dominate in both production and consumption,
reflecting global norms, while Ayurveda and other traditional systems play a complementary
role . As of 2024, Nepal has 194 pharmaceutical industries registered in DAMS, out of
which 129 produce human allopathic medicines, 53 produced ayurvedic medicines, and 12
produce veterinary medicines.
