Global generics market grew at a healthy pace between
2011-12 to 2014-15.
Generic Market Growth
• The stupendous growth during 2011-12 to 2014-15 was characterised by
blockbuster drugs going off-patent which created opportunities for Indian
players.
• From 2011-12 to 2014-15, drugs worth ~$200 billion went off-patents
•Such patent losses and subsequent launch of generic versions helps boost both
revenue and profitability of Indian players.
•For e.g., loss of patent on Abilify (Aripiprazole - the drug had global sales close to
$9.3 billion in 2014) in April 2015 enabled Alembic Pharmaceuticals Ltd and Torrent
Pharmaceutical Ltd to launch their generic versions in the first quarter of 2015-
16. This translated into a strong 47% growth in Alembic's international generics
revenue during the quarter. Similarly Torrent's US market revenue grew by an
estimated 231% during the quarter.
Rising healthcare costs to drive preference for generic drugs in
regulated markets.
% of GDP
•Slowdown since the financial crisis in
2008-09 has forced developed countries to
cut pharma costs
• Consequently, many countries started
opting for generic medicines to save on
healthcare cost and some of them
mandated cost cuts across medicines.
•India has the highest number of US FDA (US Food and Drug
Administration) approved facilities outside the US.
•As per DMF fillings data of 2015-16 , there are 9,808 active
manufacturing units [both formulation and active pharmaceutical
ingredient (API) facilities] - foreign and domestic - registered with the US
FDA.
• About 3600 (37%) registered units are estimated to be present in India
alone.
•A large approved manufacturing base provides Indian companies the
opportunity to supply to the lucrative regulated markets.
•In addition, the country also has skilled manpower and advanced
process chemistry skills.
Indian companies have been getting around 30% of the
global ANDA approvals every year since 2008.

Apart from large ones, Indian mid-size pharma companies
are also flocking US through ANDA approvals.

DECREASE IN NUMBER OF DRUGS GOING OFF-PATENT
• Between 2012-17, about $195 bn worth of drugs went off-patent while the

• This represents a 33% drop in the value of drugs going off-patents which

QUICKER ANDA APPROVALS
The US FDA has started collecting a GDUFA
fee from generic drug manufacturers to
• help the agency increase its staff and
resources to cope with the rising number
of ANDA application backlogs, and
• improve the quality of oversight on
generic drug manufacturers globally.
Due to GDUFA, the number of ANDA
approvals have become quicker and gone up
which is putting the price pressure on

PATENT LITIGATION
•Though India follow Product Patent from 2005, two clauses of the intellectual
property right (IPR)laws in India remain a significant area of contention between
foreign drug companies and generic Indian producers:
• Ever-greening (For example: patent revocation for Gleevec.)
• Compulsory licences for already patented drugs (in case of lifesaving
drugs). For example: compulsory licence granted to Natco for Nexavar.
• There have been many intellectual property right (IPR)-related cases in the
country involving drugs of MNCs.
36
PATENT LITIGATION
37
PATENT LITIGATION
•This has resulted in the intervention of the US government.
•In order to protect the interests of US companies, the US government reviewed
India's intellectual property (IP) policies and placed it in the "inadequate list" (the
US special 301 watch list).
•This list tracks countries with inadequate IPR laws, deemed detrimental to US
companies.
•In order to address this issue, India agreed to set up a bilateral mechanism on IP
rights through the US-India trade policy forum and drafted a new draft national
IP policy.
•Unfavourable outcomes from continued litigation against MNCs will dissuade
them from bringing innovative medicines to India.
38
PRICING INTERVENTIONS
• Government impose pricing restrictions from time to time on various drugs by
including them in the list of National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM)
• For example, on July 10, 2014, the government issued a notification capping prices of 50
bulk drugs (108 formulation packs) in the cardiovascular and anti-diabetic segments. This
was followed by the March 25, 2015 notification, which brought 57 formulation packs -
including anti-diabetic combination drugs, antibiotics, cardiovascular combination drugs,
insulin, etc. - under price control.
•In 2016-17, formulations that constitute nearly 16% of the total market by value
have been brought under price control.
•Such pricing orders amplify the risks posed to chronic care drugs and will have
around 100 basis points impact on the overall industry.
39
BAN ON FIXED DOSE COMBINATIONS
• Fixed Dose Combinations (FCDs) are two or more drugs contained in a single
dosage form, such as a capsule or tablet.
• An example of a fixed-dose combination HIV drug is Atripla (a combination
of efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir).
• In March 2016, Supreme Court banned 344 FDC drugs due to safety concerns.
• The ban covered about 6,000 brands from major pharma houses including
Pfizer Ltd, Wockhardt Ltd, Alkem Laboratories Ltd, Cipla Ltd, Sanofi India Ltd,
and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
• This constitutes around 3-4% of the domestic pharma market.

GOVERNMENT’S PROPOSAL ON PRESCRIBING MEDICINES BY
ONLY GENERIC NAMES
•Prime
. Minister Narendra Modi’s announced in April 2017, that there could be
a law mandating doctors to prescribe medicines with their generic names
instead of brand names.
•Union health ministry also asked the medical community to follow a 2016
notification by the Medical Council of India (MCI) that mandates doctors to
prescribe medicines by generic names.
• The WHO defines a “generic” as a bioequivalent to a branded drug.
• So, instead of writing ‘Allegra’ ‘Agimfast’, ‘Alafree’, doctors might have to
prescribe it with the molecule name, i.e. Fexofenadine.
• Aims to bring down the medicine costs for patients and break the doctor-drug
company nexus.
•It has resurrected the ghost for the Indian pharma market dominated by
branded generics.
41
CONCERNS ABOUT PRESCRIBING ONLY GENERIC NAMES
• Profitability of the large companies may take a hit.
••. The onus of what patients should consume will shift from doctors to chemists.
Chemists are unregulated and have no obligation, ethical or commercial, on
what they sell patients, they have pointed out.
•Drug companies also say various regulations need to be put in place to qualify
medicines as generics as per the norms laid down by the WHO.
•One key requirement for generic makers is to submit bio-equivalence (BE)
studies. A BE study is a process where companies have to test their generic
products as against the innovator’s product for their effectiveness.
•According to IDMA only 15% of the products of various brands will be bio
equivalent. The rest might just be ‘similar’ products,”
•Unless the safety and efficacy of similar products are not proven, they cannot
be interchangeable.
