PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY – Global Trend
•
•
•
•
Mainly concentrated in the United States, Europe, and Japan
Developing a drug from discovery to launch took 10 to 12 years.
Cost of development of drug is between $500-$800 million.
Drugs were strictly controlled by government agencies:
o
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – USA,
o
CPMP – Europe
o
MHW – Japan
o
DPCO & Indian Patent Act - India
North America
8%
12%
Europe
38%
Asia
18%
Japan
•
Size of industry : USD 960 billion in 2012.
•
Few Firms control entire market (Oligopoly).
• 4 Firms – Control 20% ,
• 20 Firms – 50-60%,
• 50 Firms – 65-75%
24%
ROW
PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY – Global Trend
• Covered the chemical
substance itself
• Offered typically 20 years
of protection
• Usually a lag time of 1012 years by the time the
patent was obtained and
the launch date
• Covered the method of
processing or
manufacturing the
product
• Very little protection
because it was easy to
slightly modify the
process
Global Issues in Pharma Sector
•
Prices in of the drugs varied in developed countries
• US & Canada by factor 1.2 to 2.5.
• Europe by factor 1.1 to 2.5.
•
Parallel Trade: an outside company sells a patented product in a market not
designated to sell the drug.
o
Independent firm exploited parallel trade by using the differentials in price across
various countries.
•
Generic Drugs: unbranded drugs of comparable efficacy available at
fractional cost of branded product.
o
Posed as major challenge for pricing power of large pharma companies.
o
No additional expense for drug R&D of new compounds.
o
Generic companies made money by copying the products discovered & developed
by other major pharmaceuticals companies.
Issues in Indian Pharma Sector
•
Initially country had no indigenous production capability & was totally
dependent on imports.
•
Post independence HAL (promoted by WHO ) & IDPL (Russian assistance) were
established in 1954 & 1961 respectively.
•
Indian Patent Act was passed in 1970, it abolished Product patent & permitted
process patent for 5-7 years.
•
Drug Price Control Order (DPCO) instituted price control by which govt.
stipulated prices for all the drugs.
•
•
Indian drug prices hovered around 5%-20% of U.S. prices due to these.
Prime minister Gandhi had said at World Health assembly in 1982:
“The idea of a better-ordered world is one in which medical discoveries will be
free of patents and there will be no profiteering from life and death.”
•
In 1990s , post globalisation, FDI upto 51% (up from 40%) was allowed in Drugs
& Pharmaceuticals industries.
•
A suitable Environment for entry of Eli Lilly entry into India.
Eli Lilly & Company
•
•
Founded in 1876 with $1400 and 4 employees
Chairman Dick Wood decided to take the company global in the
mid-1980s
•
By 1992, Lilly manufactured in 25 countries and sold in more
than 130 countries.
•
Gerhard Mayr, head Lily International wanted to expand
operation in Asia including India due to :
•
•
Opening of market for foreign investment
Opportunity for clinical testing
Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd
•
•
Began as a family business in the 1960s
By the 1990s, it grew to become India’s largest manufacturer of bulk
drugs and generic drugs.
•
•
•
Had a domestic market share of 15% (1996).
Capital cost was 50-75% lower than comparable US plants.
The higher price in foreign countries provided the impetus for
Ranbaxy to pursue international market.
•
It had presence in 47 markets outside India, mainly through
exports.
•
R&D expenditure of company was 2-5% of annual sales.
Strategic Environment
Strategic Context
 Lilly is re-evaluating its strategy for India and
“the direction for the JV, with Ranbaxy signaling
an intention to sell its stake” (p. 229)
 Lilly’s product portfolio for India is limited
 ELR JV depends for manufacturing and
distribution on Ranbaxy
 India: Healthcare expenditures in India are
rising; Increasing demand, improving regulatory
framework, better infrastructure; WTO
membership and resulting change in ownership
requirements, trade, IPR/patent protections
 Industry: Slowdown in growth (price
competition, shift in demand, entry of large
competitors); Internal consolidation to achieve
synergies and economies of scale; Increasing
rivalry and fierce competition
Strategic Objectives
 Take advantage of the opportunities
present and developing in the Indian market
 Emphasis on emerging markets (such as
India) to manage company growth
 Maximize returns and achieve long-term
sustainability
 Shape opinions – be a driving force in the
industry
Porter’s 5 Forces Analysis
Barriers to Entry are high:
Threat of
New
Entrants
Bargaining Power of
Suppliers is medium/low:
•Suppliers are diverse and
geographically dispersed
•Some raw materials are basic
resources – low switching costs,
easily available, bulk production
•Some suppliers provide
differentiated inputs (i.e. R&D,
APIs)
•Switching costs depend on input
type
Bargaining
power of
Suppliers
Threat of Substitution is medium:
Competitive
Rivalry
within
Industry
Threat of
Substitutes
•Substitutes are available– generics vs. prescription, parallel trade
•Some products exist that perform the same or similar function
•Buyers may face uncertainty and/or inconvenience when switching
•Existing substitute products (generics) satisfy price, value, and quality
expectations
•Brand loyalty usually exists
Bargaining
power of
customers
•Economies of scale exist
•High start-up capital requirements
as well as investment intensive
operation (R&D, clinical trials, etc.)
•Forward & backward integration
•Access to distribution
•Experience/learning curve
•Strict government policies/controls
•Proprietary knowledge and patents
•Brand identity/loyalty relating to
patents
Bargaining Power of
Customers is low:
•Switching costs depend on drug –
generic vs. patented
•Substitutes are available for some
drugs
•Buyers are fragmented with only
few influential ones (i.e. government
agencies)
•Product may be a critical input

industry is evolving – consolidation
trend, entry of new & large
competitors

margins -> cash flow constraints

pricing pressures etc.)

with Ranbaxy
• Pro: maintain successful JV;
retain access Ranbaxy’s
manufacturing and
distribution; well established
relationship
Form a new JV - find a new
partner

be swayed to continue JV –
possible result: lack of
commitment; companies
goals, structures and visions
have changed – alignment may
be difficult/impossible; JV
mission and goals have been
achieved

partner; negotiations take
time; Ranbaxy may transfer
shares without concern fro

opportunities; decisions can be
made with the interest of Lilly
in mind; ELR successful,
reputable company in India;
revenue to support parent
