Piribo, the online destination for business intelligence for the biotech and pharmaceutical industry, has now added a new report which finds that the global generics market is predicted to reach US$155.7 billion by 2011.
The report,"Generics - Global Industry Guide", which is available at http://www. piribo. com/publications/generic_drugs/generics. html (http://www. piribo. com/publications/generic_drugs/generics. html) finds that the global generics market grew by 14.2% in 2006 to reach a value of $92.7 billion. The forecast growth to 2011 represents an increase of 68% from 2006.
Analysts define the generics market as all sales of generics drugs at ex-manufacturers prices. The market does not include animal healthcare products. They define a generic as a product, which is an officially approved copy of an original product whose patent has expired, marketed either as a brand or using the generic name. This definition excludes multi-source copy products that make up much of markets such as India, Spain and Italy.
Authors of the report point out that the ethical generic segment generates 76.8% of the global market's aggregate value. They also highlight that Brazil, Canada, Mexico and the US together account for 41.9% of the global market's total value.
The report covers the global, European and Asia-Pacific markets as well as the five major markets (France, Germany, Japan, the UK and the US). It provides a five-year forecast of the industry.
The study identifies future trends and developments within the market and is an essential resource for data on market size and segmentation, textual analysis of the key trends and competitive landscape, and profiles of the leading companies.
