REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
The global generics market is forecast to significantly outperform the
branded sector in terms of sales growth between 2002 and 2007. While Teva will
maintain its lead at the head of the generics market, the chasing pack will see
changing fortunes as the boom and bust of paragraph IV filings take their toll.
Europe is set to outperform the US in terms of overall growth and companies
capitalizing on expanding opportunities in Southern Europe will see their
efforts rewarded by 2007.
Rising competition from Indian and Eastern European low cost providers will
augment the pressure on margins, forcing Western players to add value through
specialty generics and supergenerics.
