The Pharmaceutical Wholesale and Distribution Industry Outlook and Analysis 2008

The major problem facing the Wholesale & Distribution industry is its low profit margin which is in the region of only 1-2%. However, this market is entering into a crucial period with many key products losing patent protection, facing heavy generic competition. As generics are priced lower than their branded counterparts, the actual dollar profit on them taken by W&D companies, for their movement, is reduced. In the light of this, other key factors such as new pricing and distribution models are also discussed in more detail. Other important issues that are affecting the industry and discussed in detail include:

1. Drug Counterfeiting

2. Direct-to-Pharmacy Distribution

3. Parallel Trade

4. Canada and US Drug Reimportation

5. Internet drugs: Mail Order and On-line Pharmacies.
