RNCOS Releases Report on Generic Drug Market in Canada
Canada represents one of the largest markets for pharmaceuticals in the world, with a huge potential for generics. Generics in 2007 accounted for more then 46% prescriptions and 19% sales out of the total pharmaceutical market. The market is currently being driven by several factors, such as patent expiry of several blockbuster drugs, lower costs, cost containment measures by the government, and rapidly ageing population, according to "Generic Drug Market in Canada" - a market research report that provides an exhaustive analysis on the generic market in Canada.

The report thoroughly evaluates the factors that distinguish Canada from all other generic markets both in positive and negative ways. A major factor that differentiates the Canadian generic market from the US and most European markets is the comparatively high price of generics and lower price erosion. This allows manufacturers to fetch better margins from their drugs, and is a major reason which is attracting foreign players to enter this market.
Currently, drugs against chronic diseases occupy most of the pharmaceutical market, with cardiovascular drugs holding the top spot. However, strong growth is expected in other chronic segments also, particularly in cancer and diabetes.
Although the market has huge potential, growth can be significantly hampered by recent government regulations and various other challenges. However, the low cost of generics, coupled with billion dollar drug patent expiries, is expected to enable the generic market to continue its double-digit growth in the next five years.
