Abstract
The landscape of generic companies is changing: their relative might in the
industry is increasing and the product lines their offering are growing in
depth and breadth. Strong growth in the sector has come not only from more
aggressive tactics and better acceptance in the clinical and consumer
population, but by the loss of patent protection in the past few years of some
huge-name drugs, including Prozac, Zocor, Prilosec, Prevacid, Sporanox,
Evista, Flovent, Claritin, Allegra, Diflucan, Zofran, Zoloft, and Pravachol.
This comprehensive study quantifies world markets 2000 to 2010 in the
following therapeutic categories: examined at the level of manufacturers'
revenues in each of the following product categories:
