The last three years has seen several major shifts in generics company strategies. From 2006 to 2008 a period of high M&A activity was seen as many companies sought to expand geographically and create the scale required to compete with large pharmaceutical companies. Since the global financial crisis the level of deals has declined due to the implications of restricted debt markets and the need to reduce company debt.
The global financial crisis has also affected government debt and subsequently healthcare cost containment has become a prominent issue. Many nations and in particular the US is seeking to reduce healthcare costs through promotion of generics and creating better approval pathways for biogenerics.
