Generic drugs are officially approved copies of originals and have the same active ingredients as the branded drug
US Food and Drug Example: Branded, Branded Generic and Generic Labels
Administration Definition
“A drug product that is
comparable to a reference
listed [branded] drug product
in dosage form, strength,
route of administration, quality
and performance
characteristics and intended
use.”
Generics can only be
produced after expiration of
the branded drug’s patent
(usually 20 years)
The same company that
makes the branded drug
may also produce the
generic Source: Corporate Research
Alternatively, a different
company might produce it Similarities and Differences Between Branded and Generic Pharmaceuticals
Regulatory authorities have
established standards for
generic drugs that might
seem complicated, but the
differences between the two
types of drugs are relatively
simple to understand

2) Overview & Drivers
The global pharma industry is large, driven by broad demographics, moderated by governments focusing on costs
Size: Large and expected to Global Pharma Market, 2010-2020 Global Population Aging, 1950-2050
achieve total global sales of
$1 trillion in 2014
While generics represent
only 9% - 11% of the total
value of global pharma
sales – it represents the
volume majority (est. 55%)
Given a cost-savings focus,
generic pharma spending
growth is above the
branded and overall
industry average

I. Fundamentals & Background
5) Generic R&D: Hatch-Waxman
The birth of the modern generic drug industry can be traced back to the US legislation known as the Hatch-Waxman Act
Passed in 1984, Hatch- Post Hatch-Waxman Steps Involved in the Development of a Potential Generic Drug
Waxman set the global
standard for generic drug
approval and some
variation is used in most
major jurisdictions
Allowed a manufacturer to Source: USPharmacist and Corporate Research
demonstrate only that its
product does not differ
significantly from the existing
Hatch-Waxman and ANDA Routes for Sales and Marketing Approval
(reference) product and
eliminated the need for
duplicative and expensive
clinical trials
Liberalized the research
restriction as prior to Hatch-
Waxman, even researching a
drug before its patent had
expired was itself an act of
infringement
The Abbreviated New Drug
Approval (ANDA) process
offers four routes to
approve generics –
differences revolve around
the status of the underlying
drug’s patent protections
There is no “global”
approvals process
Bioequivalency is the proof that pharmacokinetic parameters of a drug (rate & extent of absorption) are the same
7
I. Fundamentals & Background
7) Generic Drug Research & Development Process
While still complex, the generic R&D cycle is easier, shorter and cheaper relative to the branded R&D cycle
The generic drug R&D Branded vs. Generic Research & Development Timeline
timeline is significantly
shorter than for branded
Safety and efficacy are not
being proved
Steps are less “linear” and
can often be undertaken
simultaneously
Pivotal Bioequivalence is
where the drug is proven to
be identical
o Key reduction in timeline
as bioequivalence studies
require much smaller
populations and can be
done in a matter of weeks /
months
Generic manufacturers
themselves estimate that
the cost of successfully
developing a
commercializable generic Branded Pharma R&D – Progression Probability
drug ranges from $10m to
$100m
The latest estimate for the
• The risk of total failure in the R&D process for generic drugs is
cost of successfully
extremely low because the safety and efficacy of the active ingredient
commercializing a branded has already been established
drug is approximately
US$2.6bn • The “relative simplicity” vs. the branded pharma R&D process is
integral to the low-cost nature of generic drugs

II. Trends, Opportunities & Strategy
1) Generics Drive Global Pharma Growth
IMS predicts global pharma spending will increase by US$300bn through 2018 – half of which will be generics
Generics are the largest Geographic Distribution of Medicine Generic Penetration in Selected
driver of pharma spend Spending, 2014 – 2018E Countries, 2011 (or nearest year)
everywhere but North
America
Almost all countries see the
development of generics as
a good opportunity to
increase efficiency in
pharma spending
Beyond encouraging
takeup, it is also important
to promote the lowest
possible price for generics
if the purpose is to contain
costs
Note: May differ from locally collected data
For example, the US with one Source: IMS Health and Corporate Research Source: OECD and Corporate Research
of the highest generic
penetration rates in the world Trend in Generic Penetration in Selected Countries, 2000 – 2011
also has one of the largest
branded – generic price gaps
Regardless of the
methodologies chosen,
governments can have a
fairly quick and significant
impact on generic
penetration
Generic drug competition continues to intensify with market exclusivity shrinking and ParaIV challenges growing
A branded drug is granted a Average MEP by Year of 1st Generic Average # of Generic Entrants within
Market Exclusivity Period Entry (in months), 1995-2012 1st year of 1st Generic Entry
(MEP) by the regulatory
authorities, which is the
timeframe in which the
majority of branded
productivity is generated
Generic manufacturers
have been becoming
increasingly aggressive and
have successfully
shortened MEPs
Overall the industry is seeing
a gradual decline in MEPs
before generic competition
This is even lower for higher Source: IMS Health, Journal of Medical Economics and Corporate Research Source: IMS Health, Journal of Medical Economics and Corporate Research
sales drugs
Better selling branded Paragraph IV Filing Frequency and Timing (3yr moving average)
drugs attract more
competition after the MEP
ParaIV filing is one in which
a generic manufacturer
sues to invalidate a
branded patent and
therefore the drug’s MEP
ParaIV filings are becoming
more frequent and coming
earlier
Rule of thumb: generic competition will reduce pricing / market share of the branded drug by >80% in <12-18 months
