Trends In Generics Industry Ownership: Evaluating Changing Industry Paradigms And Emerging Players

The generic drug market is growing strongly as health plan payers around the world continue to implement incentives for participants, pharmacists, doctors and others to use generic, rather than branded, medications. Facing rising patent expirations, pharmaceutical companies are diversifying into their own generics businesses, creating a vibrant market for generic drug company acquisitions as they seek to capture market share. At the same time, startups and other generic drug companies are attempting to expand, seeking capital through private investments, public offerings and other means; and government-run companies in China, Latin America and other regions are privatizing.
This is creating a vibrant environment of many different ownership structures, only some of which are well suited to the companies for which they are utilized.

Key Market Issues

Patent expirations
Drug makers are facing continued patent expirations of leading products, causing many to enter the generics industry themselves as a means to diversify their operations.
Growth of generic drug usage
Around the world, generic drug usage is rising strongly as health care payers implement incentives for plan participants, pharmacists and physicians to use low cost generics rather than expensive branded drugs.
Rising acquisitions of generic drug companies
Acquisitions of generic drug companies, particularly by Big Pharma generic divisions, are strong and rising as a means for companies to both increase revenues and achieve economies of scale.
Increasing cross border deals
Acquirers are increasingly purchasing companies located in India, Africa and other offshore locations as the industry consolidates; this is creating more complicated ownership structures and management challenges.
Strong offshore investment climate
In the strong economies of India and China, generic drug companies are finding increased opportunities to raise expansion capital, leading to a higher number of publicly traded companies and companies with large minority or even majority shareholders.

Key findings from this report

Total generic drug sales reached $95b in 2009 and will expand by 7.2% per year through 2014. The Big Pharma segment is expanding most rapidly at 11.6% per year, followed by offshore generic drug companies at 9.4% per year and emerging generic drug makers at 3.4% per year.
Most generic drug companies are privately held, but ownership structure varies with market segment.
In the offshore region, more than one in seven generic drug makers is government owned but increased privatization is expected to provide acquisition opportunities to potential acquirers over the next few years.
Relatively few emerging generic drug companies are publicly traded; tight capital markets combined with Big Pharmas preference for larger acquisitions will result in increased numbers of these companies being privately held and thereby having difficulty accessing expansion capital.
Most Big Pharma generic drug companies are wholly-owned subsidiaries; as new acquisitions are made, they tend to be folded into existing generic subsidiaries.
