Fraser of Allander Institute Report

FAI Scotland 2023 990X610

The pharmaceutical sector plays an important role in the Scottish economy. This report, by the Fraser of Allander Institute (FAI) at the University of Strathclyde, looks at the value of the sector.

What is the value of the pharmaceutical industry to Scotland?

The wider pharmaceutical sector itself employs 5,600 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs and, once spill over effects are accounted for, generates £1.8bn of Gross Value Added in Scotland.

On its own, the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals employs around 4,000 people, with significant employment in rural areas.Ìý

The sector has complex supply chains and every pound of value created by the pharmaceutical sector, in turn, generates further value and jobs.

For every 10 jobs in the wider pharmaceutical industry a further 17 are supported in the wider economy.
