Introduction The global generics market is changing. A favorable environment in the US has lead to intense competition in commodity generics, and left players seeking alternative options to drive further growth. Meanwhile, regulatory reform in under penetrated EU generics markets is boosting generic usage, attracting attention from overseas players, and bringing with it its own set of challenges. Scope Benchmarking of leading generics players by 2002 sales, market share and financial position and by forecast ethical sales between 2003 and 2008 Analysis of portfolio management and geographic expansion strategies specific to US and EU based players Full profiles of 11 leading generics players - Alpharma, Andrx, Barr, Biovail, IVAX, Mylan, Ranbaxy, SICOR, Stada, Teva, Watson Report Highlights The global generics market is forecast strong growth between 2003 and 2008. In the US, patent expiries will be the key driver, with $84 billion worth of 2002 blockbusters being at risk of generic competition by 2008. Europe is expected to outperform the US in terms of rate of growth in generics sales, with increased generic usage the key driver. Despite the introduction of cost containment measures resulting in price cuts in mature generics markets such as the UK and Germany, the net benefit of regulatory reform and cost containment measures will be positive for the European generics industry, particularly in those markets where generic penetration is currently very low. In 2008, the best positioned generics companies will be those that have technology platforms enabling them to maintain margins in face of increased competition, and that have international manufacturing and distribution networks that allow them to profit from the growth potential in southern European markets.
