The German generics industry is feeling the effects of recent efforts to control drug spending by exerting downward pressure on drug prices.
The German generics industry is feeling the effects of recent efforts to control drug spending by exerting downward pressure on drug prices. While government reforms have sought to increase the use of generics, they have in some cases tended to put even more pressure on the already narrow profit margins of generics players.
Germany boasts one of the strongest biosimilars markets in Europe, largely thanks to steps taken by payers to boost their uptake. However, overall size has remained small due to a low number of approved biosimilars.
