Key Highlights

• A generic drug is defined as a copy of an ethical (prescription) drug formerly protected by patents that have now expired. Both unbranded generics and branded generics are included in our market scope. However, off-patent drugs that continue to be offered by the original manufacturer under the original name, and which form part of the 'generic-eligible' market, are not included. Market value is evaluated at ex-factory prices. Market volume refers to the proportion of the total ethical pharmaceutical market in a country or region that is made up of generic drugs. Thus, it is a measure of the market share held by generics, rather than a direct measure of the total market volume. Regional volumes are calculated as averages of countries that comprise the region where volume data exists.
