You also find a revenue forecast to 2022 for the overall European W&D market.
Our study lets you assess the worldwide industry and market, seeing trends and outlooks. You find discussions of pharma supply issues such as these:
• Prospects for the pharma distribution chain from 2012 onwards
• Roles of pharmaceutical wholesalers
• Full-line wholesalers (FLWs)
• Short-line wholesalers (SLWs)

The report also discusses these activities:

• Specialty pharmaceuticals
• Industry consolidation
• Inventory management agreements and discounts
• State-funded healthcare, reimbursements and clawbacks
• Parallel trade and related issues

• Pedigree legislation and using the supply chain to combat drug counterfeiting.
Market value for 2014 and prospects for the future
What does the future hold? The pharma industry and its supply chain partners will increase revenues from 2012 to 2022. Overall world revenue for wholesale and distribution activities will reach $747bn in 2014, the report forecasts.
What are companies doing? Our work profiles nine leading W&D organisations and investigates their revenue-generating prospects to 2022:
• McKesson
• Cardinal Health
• AmerisourceBergen
• The PHOENIX Group
• Alfresa Holdings
• Celesio
• Alliance Boots
• Suzuken
• Medipal.
The scope of the field widens, with organisations collaborating and expanding their businesses. Our investigation shows you commercial possibilities.
Increased unit sales of generic drugs will restrain revenue growth, as will direct-to-pharmacy distribution. Demand for specialty pharma products will augment sales, the study also finds.
There will be increasing dependence on emerging countries to 2022, with their fast-rising drug sales. Developed countries hold promise too.
New products - novel small molecules, generics and biologics - will stimulate the pharma sector. Many opportunities for rising drug sales exist, with high, growing W&D revenues possible from 2012 to 2022. Our report shows you and explains.
