Competition from within

August 25, 2015 | emerging markets

To what extent can Big Pharma expect to face an increasing challenge from globalizing pharmaceutical companies based in emerging markets?

If we take a look at the top 50 pharmaceutical companies of 2013, they are mainly headquartered in North America (18), the EU (18) or Japan (9).

In ten years’ time, will more ‘home-grown’ emerging market companies feature on this list?

In this article, I will explore and compare the directions the domestic pharmaceutical industries of South Korea, China and Brazil have taken in recent years, and consider what threat, if any, each poses to established pharmaceutical companies on a global scale.
