The EU law aims to reshore pharmaceutical production, reducing dependency on Asian suppliers. This may increase production costs in the short term but improve supply security. European generic and specialty drug manufacturers could benefit from incentives, while Indian and Chinese API producers may face reduced demand. The mechanism is regulatory and supply chain reconfiguration.
