Generic drugs play a major role in the pharmaceutical industry of most nations. This rings true for countries both in developed and developing economic regions. Generic drugs typically account for over 50-80% of pharmaceutical sales by volume and 10-20% of sales by value. Traditional pharmaceutical companies in the past have viewed generics as ways of diversifying their business. Over the last two decades, sales of these products in emerging markets in particular have provided major growth opportunities for traditional pharma companies.

The lead analyst of the report commented "Visiongain believes the market will see more traditional pharma companies beginning to embrace the generic business in order to take advantage of higher growth rates in this area. At the same time, successful generic companies will try to innovate, pursuing more research-based pipeline candidates releasing patented drugs as well as high-value generics and biosimilars. A note of caution has to be sounded, however, in that we note that generic drug manufacturers must continuously revise their business models in an attempt to outsmart market challenges. New strategic decisions will have to be made to define their future path. This may include steps such as merging for scale, complementing the generic portfolio with a branded portfolio, or adding new offerings and services in order to provide new revenue streams."

Leading companies featured in the report include Abbott, Apotex, Aspen, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited, Fresenius Kabi, Mylan, Novartis, Pfizer, Sanofi, Sun Pharma, Teva and other companies.
