The global generics market grew at a faster pace than the global pharma market in 2007, with a CAGR of 16.4% during 2004-2007. Regular patent expirations of blockbuster drugs are the primary growth driver of the industry.

Rising healthcare expenditure has also contributed to industry expansion, with governments coming under growing pressure to provide low cost alternatives to branded drugs. However, the generics market is changing due to the threat from authorized generics, competition from players in emerging countries and increasing consolidation. Teva’s acquisition of Barr Pharmaceuticals is the latest example of companies attempting to improve their market strength and geographical reach via divestments and acquisitions.

Key issues examined in this report...

-Growing presence of branded companies. Branded Pharma companies are increasingly involved in generics production to win back revenues that would otherwise be lost due to patent expiry. After launching their own authorized generics, branded companies are able to delay and inhibit the entry of pure generic players by undercutting price and market share during the exclusivity period.

-Rising pressure on pricing. The long term sustainability of generic pharmaceutical companies is coming under threat after government initiatives to promote low cost generics have contributed to product devaluation and reduced profit margins.

-Increased consolidation. Generic manufacturers are consolidating in order to compete with rising numbers of specialty pharma companies who possess greater scale and R&D capabilities. The regulatory framework for authorized generics also provides easy market access for specialty developers, forcing pure generic players to consolidate in order to achieve greater vertical integration, scale and R&D skills.
