The right dose: Emerging markets and the expiration of major patents will spur growth
Generic Pharmaceutical Manufacturing in the US
While this growing industry has been experiencing strong internal and external competition, the patent expirations of several brand-name drugs will create growth opportunities in the short term. Furthermore, healthcare reform will benefit the industry, with more consumers gaining insurance coverage for prescription drugs, improved generic drug approval processes and an established pathway to approval for biosimilars. As in the past five years, manufacturers will also pursue opportunities in biosimilars and emerging markets.
Generic pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturers develop prescription and over-the-counter drug products that are used to prevent or treat illnesses in humans or animals. Generic drugs are produced and distributed without patent protection, and industry operators are not significantly engaged in the research and development of new drugs. The industry does not include manufacturers of nutritional supplements or cosmetic beauty products.
This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
