Highlights of the US generic drug market: • • •

Generic drugs are bioequivalents and can be obtained at cheaper prices. In the US, the market is growing as a result of patent expiry of branded drugs. Teva represents the largest generic manufacturer in the US.

One of the major factors that has contributed to the growth of this market is the patent expiry of a number of blockbuster branded drugs. Once branded drugs go off-patent, manufacturers can launch generic versions of these drugs. As these drugs have low research & development requirements, the costs involved in developing and manufacturing them are significantly lower than branded drugs. This allows generic manufacturers to price their drugs considerably lower compared to branded drugs. This has ultimately enabled the government, third-party payers and patients to save billions of dollars on healthcare expenditures. Other growth inducing factors include aging population, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, and incentives offered to physicians and pharmacists to promote generics.
