Report Summary
Driven by rising demand, patent expiries and pharmaceutical cost-containment policies, generic sales have risen consistently at rates in excess of the pharmaceutical industry average over the past decade. Coupled with changes in the geographic and therapeutic make-up of the sector, this has triggered a period of rapid restructuring within the generics industry. Teva and Sandoz have consolidated their positions at the head of the generic company sales rankings; national and regional businesses have emerged as major forces in emerging generic markets; while new players – including multinationals – have begun to pursue footholds in the generics sector.

Demand for generics will continue to increase rapidly during the next five years. Major patent expiries will present generic manufacturers with substantial new targets – including the world’s best-selling pharmaceutical brand, Lipitor. Sales of branded copies will rise at double-digit rates in many developing countries, while unbranded, bioequivalent follow-on products will be prescribed, dispensed and consumed more widely in some of the world’s biggest markets. Governments and third-party payers will adopt more robust pro-generic policies in a bid to limit pharmaceutical spending. These will include measures designed to encourage the use of biosimilars, which will help to rein in costs associated with the reimbursement of expensive biotech drugs.

While demand for generics will remain strong, pressure on prices in the sector will intensify as competition heats up, and as payers step up their efforts to limit reimbursement spending. Generic manufacturers will also have to overcome barriers to market entry posed by intellectual property laws, regulatory frameworks and defensive strategies employed by originator companies. Levels of brand affinity that persist among physicians, pharmacists and patients will also act as a constraint on rates at which generics are prescribed, dispensed and consumed.
