The pharmaceutical industry is facing a tougher environment in general, due to harder regulations for gaining approvals for mainstream products, economic issues, and a dwindling pipeline of new products. Reliance on blockbuster drugs is all but over, causing a shift of focus for many drug research and development entities. By focusing on cosmetic medications, many manufacturers are realizing less scrutiny from the FDA and a growing need in the niche markets such as dermatology. This transition will play a role in the future development of the dermatological industry over the forecast period. The worldwide pharmaceutical sector has little choice but to continue expanding through mergers and acquisitions for some time to come. The sector is ripe for the picking, too, with the financial crisis having created an impressive buyer’s market for larger companies, as smaller firms struggle to extend financing. True globalization of pharmaceuticals has arrived. Most of the growth in the next few years will be outside the US, Europe and Japan. It’s a very dynamic time for the industry focusing on a worldwide market.
