Key Market Facts
Annual sales growth of pharmaceuticals in the emerging industry s is already double-digit, providing a key opportunity for Pharma. Revenue streams in these industry s can be derived from launching branded off-patent drugs, branded generic drugs, and local brands owned or licensed by the acquiring pharma firm .
Pharma is moving away from the "me-too" and increasingly genericized primary care industry towards more high value biologic therapies in secondary care as well as more niche industry s; industry s with little or no existing competition, and which despite their smaller size (in terms of patient numbers) are still commercially attractive.
To maintain profitability in the face of slowing sales to 2014, pharma industry players have implemented a number of cost-cutting measures (in addition to strategic repositioning and diversification strategies) in order to boost profitability going forward.
