The ranking represents 18 pharmaceutical companies headquartered in the USA, 8 in Japan, 4 in Germany, 3 in Switzerland, 3 in Ireland, 2 in the UK, 2 in France and 1 each in Denmark, Israel, Canada, Australia, India, Spain, Belgium, Italy, South Korea and South Africa. It should be noted that the total number of European pharmaceutical companies is also 18. However, among the European pharmaceutical companies there are no enterprises from Central and Eastern European countries.

Although the companies represented in the top 50 global leaders by sales by value have remained remarkably stable over time, their relative positions on the list continue to change. This reflects the importance that the launch of a new drug and successful promotion existing drugs at each stage life cycle products currently play a key role in obtaining competitive advantage in sales. This helps explain why Pfizer returned to its position as the leader in prescription drug sales by value this year, displacing Novartis from the No. 1 spot. The key to Pfizer's success in this context was the increase in sales in the vaccine segment, which Novartis recently left, thanks in part to strong sales of the American company's pneumococcal vaccine Prevnar 13.

Further down the ranking, we find signs of a noticeable pause in the rise to the top of mid-market companies with innovative products and a fresh approach to their marketing that could make it into the top 10. However, so far only one of them has managed to reach this high bar - this feat was accomplished by Gilead Sciences, which jumped from 25th place to 9th the year before. This became possible thanks to the development of a drug for the treatment of hepatitis, which became a real breakthrough in this direction and provided a record high sales volume for the company. But having set this high bar, the company must now continue to meet expectations stock markets- it’s time for an encore, otherwise Gilead Sciences risks not maintaining its position in the top 10 pharmaceutical companies in terms of sales in monetary terms. In addition, the emergence of generic pharmaceutical companies in the top 10 is also not far off. Thus, Teva, which already has a huge product portfolio, recently acquired the generic business of Allergan. However, Teva's move into the top 10 could be hampered by price cuts, delays in some product launches and other regulatory issues.

In 2015, the ranking included 3 American companies"Meda", "Regeneron" and "Baxalta", as well as the Korean "CJ" and the Swiss "Nestle", displacing Baxter International (USA, 21st place), Stada Arzneimittel (Germany, 45th place) from the top 50 -th place), “Lundbeck” (Denmark, 49th place), “Kyowa Hakko Kirin” (Japan, 50th place). Also leaving the ranking was Actavis, which completed its acquisition of Allergan in early 2015 and changed its corporate name to Allergan. The transaction amount was $70.5 billion. in money and securities. The company's management expected that this combination could create one of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies by sales volume with expected revenue in 2015 of more than $23 billion. However, according to the results of sales of prescription drugs, Allergan failed to enter the top 10, while, however, improving its position in the ranking by 14 points compared to Allergan and by 7 compared to Actavis. , taking 12th position with sales of prescription drugs at the end of 2015 amounting to more than $18 billion.

Traditionally, leading Big Pharma players have focused on developing innovative, often first-in-class drugs that are destined to become blockbusters. Therefore, it is quite natural that pharmaceutical companies included in the top 10 invest heavily in R&D (Fig. 1). At the same time, many of them occupy leading positions in terms of investment in R&D not only within the healthcare sector, but also in on a global scale. Thus, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers, such pharmaceutical companies as Roche, Novartis, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Merck & Co., Sanofi, GlaxoSmithKline and AstraZeneca are among the top 20 companies by volume of investments in R&D in 2015 among all industry representatives.

The largest Russian pharmaceutical companies earned from 15 billion rubles (PJSC Pharmstandard) to 182 billion rubles (JSC NPK Katren) in annual revenue at the end of 2015.

 

In the last two years, 2015 and 2016, the Russian pharmaceutical industry has shown significant growth - more than 20% in 2016, according to the Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov.

At a briefing held at the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, Deputy Minister Sergei Tsyb said that the best evidence of the growth of the domestic pharmaceutical industry is that the American pharmaceutical giants are outraged: it is difficult for them to break into Russian market, as they are being replaced by large pharmaceutical companies in Russia. We analyzed and prepared the Top 7 largest Russian pharmaceutical holdings by revenue for 2015.
