Abstract

The generic industry is a fast evolving market; with significant lucrative opportunities. The generic market is structurally set to experience high growth potential. That wave is partly driven by cost-containment in several national healthcare sectors and partly by the need for governments to promote the use of generic products over high-priced originator products without compromising quality.

In 2006, the global generics market attained strong revenues of approximately $65bn, up by 12% in comparison with $58bn in 2005. However, during the same period, the Top Ten leading generic suppliers generated total revenues of $27.9bn, up by a growth rate of 34%. The Top Five Companies within that sector experienced significant revenues, with market growth largely driven by significant commercial activities, key Mergers and Acquisition (M&A) and launch of new product in the leading markets.

In light, of the significant number of proprietary branded pharmaceuticals approaching patent expiration in the near-term, visiongain predicts that the generic market is set to experience further market expansion during the forecast period. Visiongain also predicts that by 2023, the Top Ten leading generic suppliers will experience CAGR of 7%. That significant CAGR, will be driven by generic versions of leading blockbuster drugs presently estimated at $100bn, nearing patent expiration during 2008-2012.

Prominently, amongst the products with looming patent expirations are drugs such as:

Pfizer's Lipitor
AstraZeneca's Nexium
Bristol Myers Squib's Plavix
Pfizer's Norvasc
Lilly's Zyprexa
Janssen's Risperdal
Wyeth's Effexor

In 2007, a total of 14 drugs came of patent in the US market. In 2008, a total of 14 drugs are expected to lose patent protection in the US market. In 2009, five drugs are predicted to becoming off-patent in the US market. On the 24 of March 2010, the world's highest selling drug, Pfizer's Liptor will come off-patent in the US. In the EU market, UCB's Keppra and four other medicines are expected to lose patent protection. In 2011, 10 major drugs in the US market will also become exposed to generic competition. An estimated 11 drugs will experience generic competition in the EU market during the same year. Significant among these drugs will be Lipitor and Zyprexa.

Moreover, the generic market is projected to further expand through the growing uptake of biogeneric/ biosimilar products. In 2006, biological drugs, the products of biotechnology generated total revenues of $40bn. The US market alone, accounted for a significant proportion of total worldwide sales. Presently, in the EU, the growing popularity of these products are gaining newer heights, with managed care organisations (MCOs), healthcare providers and payers amongst others increasingly requesting these medicines as a significant cost-saving strategy. However, by 2010, an estimated 24 biologic drugs will near patent expiration opening up the market for generic possibilities.

Visiongain’s market analysis forecast a-to- be lucrative era during the mid-term of our forecast where we believe, the Top Ten generic suppliers will see strong sales growth leveraged through licensing of new products.
