...Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories-Growing pain This case study is about Dr Reddy's Laboratories Ltd (DRL), a global pharmaceutical company. Established in 1984, DRL was the largest Indian pharmaceutical company with a net worth of Rs.58 billion in 2007. As a fully integrated pharmaceutical company, DRL provided affordable medicines through its three core businesses - Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients, Global Generics, and Proprietary Products. Since 2008, however, the drug maker went through a very difficult phase. The acquisition of German generics company betapharm Arzneimittel GmbH (Betapharm) in 2006 backfired, sinking the company into its worst ever quarterly loss in the fiscal 2008-09. Pending lawsuits for alleged patent infringements prevented DRL from launching generic products in its biggest market, the US. Moreover the ban imposed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on products made at DRL's Mexico unit for violation of manufacturing practices seriously dented the company's image as a quality drug maker. The ban also affected the company's revenues from the US market. A string of accidents which broke out across at DRL's Indian manufacturing facilities brought its safety practices under question. In a bid to crack the generics market in the US, the company lost sight of the domestic market and could not come up with new products in the Indian markets unlike its competitors. As a result, the company lost its coveted position in the domestic market. All...

...PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY RESEARCH PAPER Submitted By RAKESHKUMAR PATEL NILAMBEN PATEL MONROE COLLEGE NOVEMBER 19, 2012 MG 620 RESEARCHES FOR STATISTICS Presented to DR. ANNE WALSH ABSTRACT The United States is the world’s largest market for pharmaceuticals and the world leader in biopharmaceutical research. U.S. firms conduct 80 percent of the world’s research and development in biotechnology and hold the intellectual property rights to most new medicines. In 2010, the pharmaceutical sector employed approximately 272,000 people (source: Bureau of Labor Statistics), and according to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (Parma), those manufacturers spent $67.4 billion on research and development in 2010. The markets for biologics, over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, and generics show the most potential for growth and have become increasingly competitive. Biologics, valued at $67 billion in 2010 (source: IMS Health), account for a quarter of all new drugs in clinical trials or awaiting Food and Drug Administration approval. OTC market growth will be driven by a growing aging population and consumer trend to self-medication and the conversion of drugs from prescription to non-prescription or OTC status. Generic drug sales in the United States were valued at $78 billion in 2010 (source: IMS Health). The U.S. market is the world’s largest free-pricing market for pharmaceuticals and has a favorable patent...
