Trends that will Impact the Market in the Short Term
The global generics industry is in an interesting phase. Prescription volumes for generics are rising in the US and European markets, while regional manufacturers are struggling to meet demand. However, while Asian prescription volumes are lower than that of Western markets, Asian manufacturers are catering to domestic markets and exporting a significant percentage of products to the US and Europe. India, China, South Korea, and Japan are the important Asian markets. The generics industry has moved on after patent cliff, and is more focused on increasing product quality and market share. Overall, the global generics market will see an average growth in the next 2-3 years.
