FOREWORD
The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry in 2012 saw a slew of mergers and acquisitions, many of which were years in the planning. Outside pressures have created this “eat or be eaten” mentality, and in many respects the merger and acquisition activity simply trades some short-term problems for some problems that need to be dealt with over a longer time span.
The market news has not been all bad as the overall pharmaceutical market grew to a historic trillion dollar high point. This stems from growing middle class consumption in the BRIC region (Brazil, Russia, India and China) and other regions.
