Press release from: Greystone Research Associates

(Amherst, NH) – Along with the ability to create therapeutic replicas of biochemicals via host systems, the emergence and proliferation of generic drugs continue to re-shape the therapeutic landscape. Generics have grown from a cottage industry two decades ago to a burgeoning subset of the pharmaceutical sector. The pace of activity in generics has centered on oral dosage forms. The next new hot market is injectables.

There are 235 distinct APIs that account for at least one approved generic injectable. These 235 APIs represent 1,167 distinct ANDAs. Including all approved doses, the current universe of generic injectables consists of 1,699 injectable products. These products are marketed and supplied by a growing list of one hundred companies.

In terms of generic products, antibiotics are the largest and most competitive segment, representing a quarter of the total generic injectables market on a product basis. The remainder are spread over three dozen drug classes. The top three companies account for a third of all products, with the top ten companies accounting for just under half.

The competitive climate varies across drug and therapeutic classes. In addition to antibiotics, the most competitive drug segments include anti-arrhythmics, anesthetics, anticoagulants, anticonvulsants, anti-hypertensives and anti-emetics.

Looking to the future, patent expirations on branded injectables will continue to keep this market growing. For 2016, fourteen drugs will see a total of twenty-seven Orange Book-listed patents expire. For the remainder of the decade, 193 patents covering 55 injectables are set to end.

Complicating the competitive picture will be the continuation of asset deals and M&A activity. Pfizer’s acquisition of Hospira – the largest generic injectables supplier by product count – is a recent example of how the market is changing as companies attempt to stake out positions in a segment that will continue to experience strong growth.

Generic injectables are detailed in a new and comprehensive report researched and written by Greystone Research Associates. Generic Injectables – Products, Markets, Players and Outlook analyzes generic injectable products and the indications and therapeutic classes in which they compete. The report includes analysis of competitive factors, ANDA filing strategies, market growth trends and strategic and economic factors, and provides assessments of the market presence of sector participants.
