1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background
Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP), Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers is nodal agency for
the scheme “Strengthening of Pharmaceutical Industry (SPI)", with a total financial outlay of
Rs.500 Cr for the period from FY 21-22 to FY 25-26. The scheme aims to address the rising
demand in terms of support required to existing Pharma clusters and MSMEs across the country
to improve their productivity, quality and sustainability.
The objectives of the Scheme “Strengthening of Pharmaceutical Industry (SPI)” are to
strengthen the existing infrastructure facilities in order to make India a global leader in the
Pharmaceutical Sector. Under the Scheme, there is a provision for the financial assistance to
pharma clusters for creation of Common Facilities.
Further, in order to upgrade the production facilities of SMEs and MSMEs so as to meet the
national and international regulatory standards (WHO-GMP or Schedule-M), the incentives like
interest subvention or capital subsidy on their capital loans is being provided to facilitate the
growth in volumes as well as in quality of drugs in India.
The SPI Scheme of Department of Pharmaceutical has broadly 3 components / sub-schemes:
Assistance to Pharmaceutical Industry for Common Facilities (APICF): To strengthen the
existing pharmaceutical clusters’ capacity for their sustained growth by creating common
facilities. Under the API-CF sub-scheme, support for clusters for creation of common facilities
with the focus on R&D Labs, Testing Laboratories, Effluent Treatment Plants, Logistic Centres
and Training Centres in this order of priority with an outlay of 178 Cr for the scheme period of
five years is proposed.
Pharmaceutical Technology Upgradation Assistance Scheme (PTUAS): To facilitate Micro,
Small and Medium Pharma Enterprises (MSMEs) of proven track record to meet national and
international regulatory standards. Under the PTUAS sub-scheme, support for about SME
Industries is proposed, either through up to maximum of 5% per annum (6% in case of units
owned and managed by SC/STs) of interest subvention or through Credit linked Capital subsidy
of 10%. In both the cases, the loan supported under this is to a limit of 10 Crores and the eligible
components of the loan has been listed out in the scheme guidelines. An outlay of 300 Cr has
been earmarked for sub scheme for the scheme period of five years.
Pharmaceutical & Medical Devices Promotion and Development Scheme (PMPDS): To
facilitate growth and development of Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Sectors through
study/survey reports, awareness programs, creation of database, and promotion of industry.
Under the PMPDS sub-scheme, knowledge and awareness about the Pharmaceutical and
MedTech Industry will be promoted. This will be done by undertaking studies, building
databases and bringing industry leaders, academia and policy makers together to share their
knowledge and experience for overall development of the Pharma and Medical Devices sector.
An outlay of 21.5 Cr has been earmarked for the sub scheme for the scheme period of five
years. It is expected that the units supported under this scheme will act as Demonstration Firms
6 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
for the pharma clusters and MSE Pharma Industries, to develop on quality and technology
upgradation fronts.
In the years between 2022-30, the pharmaceutical sector in India will undergo landmark
changes as a number of drugs are expected to go off-patent and provide an opportunity for the
entry of generic products. Expiry of patents is very promising for the Indian generic drug market
as it is expected to expand and grow further with inclusion of these new drugs. With ongoing
developments, India has started focusing on self-reliance at a large scale. Hence, it is imperative
to identify these drugs beforehand, draft and implement strategies which help in their timely
entry into the market by promoting generic drug manufacturing. Under the same PMPDS
Scheme, the department took an initiative to conduct an independent study on analysis on
leveraging the impending patent cliff, with drug sales worth USD 251 billion going off-patent
and to analyse the different drug pricing methodologies particularly w.r.t to these patented
drugs going off-patent.
1.2. Study Assumptions and Study Definition
Study Assumptions:
● The study assumed that the information available on various secondary sources of
data regarding the drugs going off-patent and their sales worth USD 251 billion is
accurate and reliable.
● It also assumed that the patent expiration dates, historical pricing data and
associated sales data that were publicly available were reliable to be accessed for
analysis.
7 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
● The study assumed that the drug pricing methodologies under analysis were
representative of the broader pharmaceutical industry and did not represent any
specific company’s pricing policies.
Study Definition: The assessment study, "An Analysis on Leveraging the Patent Cliff
with Drug Sales Worth USD 251 Billion Going Off-Patent and to Analyse Different Drug
Pricing Methodologies," aimed to investigate the implications of the patent cliff on the
Indian pharmaceutical industry and analyse various drug pricing methodologies which
should be opted by Indian generic pharmaceutical companies to capture the maximum
market share created as a result of this patent Cliff.

● Identification and Analysis of Drugs Going Off-Patent: The study was commissioned
to identify a comprehensive list of drugs of 20 plus drugs with sales worth USD 251
billion that were approaching or have recently reached their patent expiration
dates. The analysis considered the major US patents for the uniformity of analysis
and the potential impact of their patent expiry on the pharmaceutical market,
including changes in market dynamics, competition, and pricing due to the entry of
Indian Generic Pharmaceutical Players.
● Assessment of the Patent Cliff: The study examined the patent cliff phenomenon,
which refers to a period when a significant number of drugs lose their patent
protection, leading to increased competition from generic alternatives. The
assessment also explored the magnitude of the patent cliff and its implications for
pharmaceutical companies, healthcare providers, and consumers.
● Evaluation of Drug Pricing Methodologies: The study analysed the different drug
pricing methodologies employed by pharmaceutical companies. This analysis also
encompassed a range of factors, such as cost-based pricing, value-based pricing,
market-based pricing, and other relevant strategies.
● Recommendations and Implications: Based on the findings of the study, the
assessment agency has provided recommendations for Indian Generic
pharmaceutical companies, policymakers, and other stakeholders regarding
leveraging the patent cliff and selecting appropriate drug. The implications of the
study's findings for the industry, healthcare systems, and consumers will also be
discussed.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
3. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
3.1 Definition and Explanation
The approval process for new innovative drugs and for follow-on drugs or generics is very
different. There are three basic mechanisms for small-molecule drugs. New small-molecule
drugs are approved by submitting a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA. Generic drugs are
approved through an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) process, and there is a hybrid
process named by its regulatory section, 505(b)(2), which applies to modifications of new drugs
which are neither novel, nor generics. For biologics, new drugs and followers are approved by
Biologics License Applications (BLAs). New biologic drugs are approved through section 351(a),
and follower biosimilars are approved through section 351(k) of the US Public Health Act.
Generic product development cost specially for small molecule drugs is substantially lower than
the costs of initial research and development. So, once a drug is known to be safe and effective,
it can generally be reverse-engineered without much difficulty. Without market protections for
innovators, the generic manufacturers would be able to produce copies of innovative drugs and
sell them at a fraction of the cost of innovators, reflecting their greatly-reduced research and
development costs. For this reason, patent protection and regulatory exclusivity are a kind of
reward for innovators for engaging in research areas with a high risk of failure. In the absence
of protections companies, their employees, and their investors would lack the motivations to
spend years and hundreds of millions of dollars researching and developing innovative new
drugs.
11 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
Patents across various industries, including drugs, arise from the intellectual property spurred
from the innovation to raise the rewards for discovery, which also grants a monopoly in
discovery. Patents foster innovation as they provide the manufacturer with the opportunity
for a temporary monopoly for a period of market exclusivity. The term of drug patents varies.
The basic term for a patent is 20 years from the date of patent filing, which generally occurs
several years before a drug is approved. This means that drugs may have 6-12 years of patent-
protected sales after launch. There are conditions under which drug patents can be extended,
for example to compensate for time spent waiting for Food and Drug Agency (FDA) review, or
for responding to an FDA request for paediatric testing.
Consequently, the expiry of patents decreases the overall market returns of individual
pharmaceuticals due to post-expiration reduction in marketing share. The term "patent cliff"
refers to a significant event in the pharmaceutical industry when a large number of patents for
branded or innovator drugs are set to expire within a relatively short period, typically within a
few years. This expiration of patents creates an opportunity for generic drug manufacturers to
enter the market and produce lower-cost versions of the previously patented drugs. When a
drug is initially developed and approved, the pharmaceutical company typically obtains a
patent that grants them exclusive rights to manufacture and sell the drug for a specified period,
usually around 20 years. During this time, the company can charge higher prices to recoup the
costs of research, development, and marketing. This exclusivity allows the company to enjoy a
monopoly on the drug, without facing competition from generic alternatives.
However, once the patent nears expiration, other pharmaceutical companies can apply for
approval to produce and sell generic versions of the drug. These generic drugs contain the same
active pharmaceutical ingredients as the innovator drugs and are typically sold at lower prices.
As a result, when the patent expires and the market becomes open to generic competition,
sales of the branded drugs often experience a significant decline.
The term "patent cliff" is used to describe this period of patent expirations and the subsequent
revenue loss experienced by pharmaceutical companies as their drugs face generic
competition. It is called a "cliff" because the revenue drop-off can be steep and sudden, as
multiple drugs lose their patent protection simultaneously. The patent cliff brings both
challenges and opportunities for the pharmaceutical industry. While it can lead to a decline in
sales and profitability for innovator companies with drugs going off-patent, it also creates
opportunities for generic manufacturers to enter the market, increase competition, and
provide more affordable options to healthcare providers and patients. It also incentivizes the
innovation as pharmaceutical companies strive to develop new drugs and maintain their
competitive advantage in the market by bringing new drugs to market.
The period from 2023 to 2030 is projected to witness a significant patent cliff in the
pharmaceutical industry, with numerous high-revenue drugs facing patent expirations
(Exhibit 1). This timeframe marks a critical phase for pharmaceutical companies as they
navigate the challenges and opportunities associated with the expiration of these patents. The
specific drugs and their corresponding patent expiration dates may vary, but it is expected that
12 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
several blockbuster drugs will be affected during this period. The patent cliff from 2023 to 2030
will likely result in increased competition from generic drug manufacturers entering the market.
Exhibit 1: Annual Sales figures of Top Blockbuster drugs in USD Billion in year 2022

Pharmaceutical companies impacted by the patent cliff try to adapt their strategies to mitigate
the expected revenue losses by launching new drugs to replace the lost sales, seek partnerships
or acquisitions, invest in research and development, or explore other revenue streams such as
biologics, biosimilars and specialty drugs.
13 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
For healthcare systems and patients, the patent cliff can be beneficial as it expands access to
more affordable medications. The availability of generic versions of previously expensive drugs
can help reduce healthcare costs and improve affordability for patients.
3.2 Distinction between Patent Protection and Regulatory Exclusivity
Drug patents are typically sought for the compound itself if the product is a new chemical entity
that is not already approved and patented in the United States. However, patents can also be
granted for the process (methodology, equipment) used to manufacture that compound, the
formulation (dosage form) of the compound, or the method of use of the compound. In
addition to protections derived from patents, the USFDA and some other regulators may grant
market exclusivity to drugs meeting specific conditions.
The motivation to grant exclusivity is to foster innovation and to promote the development of
drugs for applications that might otherwise offer insufficient motivation. Patents and
regulatory exclusivity work in a similar fashion but are distinct from one another and governed
by different statutes. Patents are a property right granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO). They may be enforced at any time and can encompass a wide range of claims.
Regulatory exclusivity on the other hand is granted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
and similar regulatory bodies in other countries, which prevents the regulatory approval of
competitor drugs. While some regulatory exclusivities such as paediatric clinical trial exclusivity
are attached to the end of patents, in most cases patents and regulatory exclusivity are
independent. For example, patents can be asserted against drugs which are in development,
against the drugs for which approval is sought, or after a drug launches. By contrast, regulatory
exclusivity tends to affect only drug approvals.
In US, the market exclusivity and patent terms for drugs are governed by The Drug Price
Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, or more commonly known at the Hatch-
Waxman Act. This act is held as a federal law aligned with the United States Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) drug approval processes. The act aims to strike a balance between protecting
innovation while increasing competition, by using exclusivities and patent extensions to protect
innovation and creating the modern abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) approval pathway to
facilitate market entry of lower-cost generics. Following the formation of this amendment, the
pharmaceutical industry and generic entrants battleground plays out uniquely for each drug in the
marketplace. Consequently, having an information advantage can benefit all the involved players. It
creates provisions for patent term extensions with exclusivity, expedited FDA approvals for
generic drugs, and a simplified patent litigation process tied to generic drug submissions to FDA.
Exclusivity can be granted in addition to USPTO patent terms following the approval of a drug
if the product has orphan drug designation, classification as a new chemical entity, done
additional clinical studies, or studies in paediatric populations.

3.3 Global Impact and Implications of Impending Patent Cliff
Pharmaceutical companies with products going off patent closely monitor their patent
portfolios and release information about impending patent expirations as part of their financial
disclosures. Overall, the patent cliff from 2023 to 2030 is expected to be of tectonic magnitude
and represents a critical period in the pharmaceutical industry, where companies will face
challenges and opportunities as they navigate the expiration of patents for high-revenue drugs
and the ensuing competition from generic alternatives. The global impact of the patent cliff
from 2022 to 2030 is expected to be significant and will depend on various factors, including
the specific drugs facing patent expiration, regional market dynamics, healthcare policies, and
the ability of pharmaceutical companies to adapt to the changing landscape. The innovator
companies will be monitoring market trends and regulatory changes and will employ various
strategies to navigate the implications of the patent cliff during this period. However, some of
the potential implications of impending Patent cliff 2022-2030 are mentioned below:
● Steep Revenue Loss for Pharmaceutical Companies with small molecules:
Innovator Pharmaceutical companies that hold patents on drugs facing expiration will
experience a decline in sales as generic competition enters the market. This revenue
loss can have a considerable impact on these companies' financial performance,
potentially leading to decreased profits, restructuring, and strategic adjustments. For
example, during the last patent cliff, for the biggest selling statin Lipitor, the annual sales
fell from nearly $11 billion in 2010, the year before it faced generics in the U.S., to $4
billion in 2012. Pfizer’s overall revenue fell from $68 billion to $59 billion over the same
period. The impending cliff will affect most big biopharma companies, but some will feel
more pressure than others. Pfizer Inc., Novartis AG, Merck, Eli Lilly and Bristol Myers
Squibb are poised to face steep patent cliffs.
● Gradual Revenue Loss for Pharmaceutical Companies with Large molecules:
The companies with large molecules like Biosimilars and Mono Clonal Antibodies
(MABs) also going to face price erosion resulting in loss of revenues however this will
be gradual. This is because large molecules are more expensive to develop and
manufacture and their manufacturers won’t be able to afford cutting prices by nearly
as much as by manufacturers of generic small molecules. For example; The pattern of
sales decline for drugs like AbbVie’s blockbuster biosimilar Humira is expected to be
different as such drugs won’t be interchangeable, or directly substitutable, by
pharmacists. Physicians also may be reluctant to switch stable patients on the branded
drug to biosimilars. Therefore, it is expected that newly diagnosed patients are most
likely to receive biosimilars in the beginning after launch of biosimilars. With the
introduction of generic alternatives, patient and healthcare provider education
becomes crucial. Clear communication and education initiatives can help dispel
concerns about the efficacy and safety of generic medications. It is important to ensure
that patients and healthcare providers are informed about the availability of generic
options, their cost-saving potential, and the importance of therapeutic equivalence.
15 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
● Savings for the Patients and Healthcare Systems:
The expiration of patents during this 2023-30 will pave the way for multiple generic drug
manufacturers to enter the market and produce lower-cost alternatives to brand-name
drugs. This increased availability of affordable medications can improve access to
essential treatments for patients worldwide, particularly in regions with limited
healthcare budgets. Generic medications are typically priced up to 90% lower than their
brand-name counterparts, allowing healthcare providers and insurers to achieve
substantial cost savings. This will reduce financial burdens on payers in the healthcare
systems and potentially lead to expanded coverage and access to more comprehensive
healthcare.
● Market Competition and Innovation:
The patent cliff fosters increased market competition, as generic manufacturers
compete with brand-name companies. This competition can drive innovation and
encourage the development of new drugs, as companies strive to differentiate
themselves in the market. Pharmaceutical companies may focus on research and
development efforts to introduce novel therapies, potentially leading to advancements
in treatment options for various diseases and conditions.
● Market Share Shifts:
The Patent cliff and resulting loss of exclusivity can reshape the competitive landscape
and influence market dynamics within the pharmaceutical industry. As per historical
data, the sales of a small molecule that goes generic, 50- 80% of the market can be lost
in 30 to 90 days and the price can go down by 90%. The expiration of patents can result
in major shifts in market shares between innovator and generic drug manufacturers.
Generic manufacturers may gain market share as they offer lower-priced alternatives,
while innovator companies may experience a decline in their market position unless
they come up adequate strategies.
● Regional and Global Market Variations:
It's important to note that the specific drugs and their patent expiration dates during
the 2022-2030 period will vary. Further, the impact of the patent cliff will also vary
across different regions and countries due to variations in healthcare systems, political,
economic, social, legal and regulatory frameworks. Some regions may experience a
more pronounced impact, depending on factors such as the prevalence of brand-name
drugs facing patent expirations and the availability of generic manufacturers in the
market.
3.4 Patent Expirations by numbers (Patent cliff 2020-2030)
As per the report by drug patent watch during the patent cliff period of 2022-2032 there
will more than 300 drug patents (Exhibit 2) in different categories and different
geographies expiring every year. A list of 300 plus US patents expiring between 2020-2030
16 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
is attached as Annexure A at the end of the report. This trend is going to continue till the
year 2036. However, the most important and high value patents for the blockbuster
(Annual sales more than USD 1 Bn) drugs are going to expire between the years
2022-2030.
Exhibit 2 : Patent Expirations by Year

3.5 Major Blockbuster drug Patent Expirations during the Patent cliff 2020-2030
As per our analysis, 24 major blockbuster drug patents are going to expire during the period of
2022-2030. This will include the loss of exclusivity for the mega-seller like Humira (adalimumab)
in the US beginning in 2023. Biosimilars to Humira were already launched in Europe in 2019,
which has already frayed at the brand's sales, though Europe already was a substantially smaller
market for Humira revenues compared to the US. In India, multiple companies have been
permitted by the Indian government to manufacture Adalimumab under the provisions of
compulsory licensing since 2018. Biocon has become the first company from India to launch its
Biosimilar Hulio in US in July,2023. Johnson & Johnson will have to navigate a challenging period
around the same time, with the company's top-selling drug Stelara (Ustekinumab) expected to
lose patent protection in the US in 2023, followed by Simponi (golimumab) in 2024.
Similarly, Pfizer is headed over the cliff with the potential US loss of the rheumatoid arthritis
drug Xeljanz (tofacitinib) in 2025, the blood thinner Eliquis (Apixaban) in 2026, and the cancer
drugs Ibrance (Palbociclib) and Xtandi (enzalutamide) in 2027. BMS which markets Eliquis with
Pfizer but will experience other losses as well. This year, it is already under pressure, facing the
loss of Revlimid (lenalidomide) in Europe and Japan and on a volume-limited basis in the US.
Opdivo (Nivolumab) is going to be off-patent in 2028. At Merck, meanwhile, the entire plotline
is pivoting on its checkpoint inhibitor Keytruda (Pembrolizumab) and how the company will
reduce its dependence on the big anchor brand before it faces loss of exclusivity in 2028.

3.6 Cost Savings from generic drug prescription: The estimated annual cost savings from the
prescription of generic drugs can vary significantly depending on the specific country,
healthcare system, and the volume of generic drug use. However, generic drugs are
generally known to be much more cost-effective than their brand-name counterparts,
leading to substantial savings for individuals, healthcare systems, and governments.
According to various studies and reports, the cost savings achieved by using generic drugs
can range from 20% to 90% compared to the price of brand-name medications. As per our
analysis, on average, generic chemical drugs after launch tend to cost around 51 % less than
brand-name drugs for a few years. In case of biosimilars, the cost can be around 60% less
than innovator products for a few years, It is to be noted that with passage of time and
entry of new players, the prices of both chemical generics and biosimilars reduce
19 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
substantially. The lower R&D and manufacturing costs, relatively easier and quick
regulatory approvals bring cost efficiencies, thereby promoting inter-generic competition
and offers the price benefits to patients and insurance providers especially for chronic
conditions or high-prevalence diseases.
3.7 Shift from Chemical generics to Biosimilars by 2030: As per the data analysis conducted for the
sales of 24 blockbuster drugs, biologics like biosimilars, immunomodulators and monoclonal antibodies
are going to further dominate the pharmaceutical industry between 2022-2030. The biosimilar revenues
which comprised 69 % of overall revenues of these 24 blockbuster drugs in 2022 is going to increase to
75% by 2030 (Exhibit:5) New pharmaceutical technological advancements like high-throughput
screening, molecular profiling, next-generation sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, proteomics, and
other molecular profiling techniques have paved the way for personalized medicine approaches in drug
development which has led to more biologics reaching the market.

3.8 Classification of Blockbuster Drugs going off-patent between 2022-2030 (On the basis of Type of
molecule, Disease/ Indication, Pharmacological classification and Dosage form)
Drugs can be roughly split into two categories based on their technical characteristics, and into two
other categories based on their regulatory characteristics. The two technical categories are
pharmaceutical drugs, commonly referred to as small-molecule drugs, and biotech drugs, commonly
referred to as biologic drugs. The most popular, and oldest, technical category of drugs is small-molecule
drugs. These drugs, also commonly called pharmaceutical drugs, tend to be orally administered as
tablets, capsules, or liquids. Most small-molecule drugs are able to cross the stomach lining into the
bloodstream where they travel throughout the body until they arrive at their therapeutic target. The
20 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
therapeutical target of the drug describes its pharmacological classification. Some of the analysed
blockbuster drugs have application in multiple therapeutic areas and disease indications providing a
much bigger market opportunity for such drugs. Exhibit 6 Table below for the classification of the
blockbuster drugs going off patent between 2022-2023 on the above-mentioned parameters.

3.10 Ease of Technology Transfer & Potential Indian Generic companies that can benefit from the
Patent Cliff:
Biologic drugs are much larger than small-molecule drugs and are generally injectables. Unlike small-
molecule drugs, which are often synthetic chemicals which never occur naturally, many biologic drugs
are synthetic versions of naturally-occurring proteins, such as growth factors, monoclonal antibodies,
hormones, and immune-system signalling molecules. These differences also have product development
technology transfer, legal and regulatory consequences. Indian generic companies have wide
experience of reverse engineering the chemical drugs to develop generic versions and transfer the
technology for the mass production. However, for the Biosimilar, the development and technology
transfer are challenges. Further, the types of patents used for small-molecule and biologic drugs, and
the strategies for using (or attacking) these patents are also very different from Biosimilars. Likewise,
the regulatory and commercial consideration in gaining approval for new or follower small-molecule
and biologic drugs are very different making the Biosimilars a riskier and complex proposition for Indian
generic companies. However, a few Indian companies have explored this foray and developed the initial
capabilities. The table mentioned below (Exhibit 8) captures the potential Indian generic companies
which have a opportunity to grab the market share which is going to be created in between 2022-2030.

6. CHALLENGES FOR INDIAN GENERIC COMPANIES - PATENT CLIFF 2022-30
6.1 Overview: Indian companies involved in developing generic versions of drugs going off-
patent face several challenges and risks. Despite these challenges and risks, Indian companies
have been successful in the generic drug industry by leveraging their manufacturing
capabilities, cost advantages, and regulatory expertise. It is important for Indian companies to
proactively address these challenges and perform risk assessment and build strong capabilities
to navigate the evolving landscape of generic drug development and manufacturing.
Developing and filing a 505(b)(2) ANDAs for the drugs nearing patent expiry can present
opportunities for Indian generic manufacturers to enter the much more bigger and lucrative
markets. By carefully assessing and managing the risks, Indian generic companies can navigate
the regulatory landscape and seize market opportunities out of the impending patent cliffs.
Some of the key challenges and risks include:
6.1.1 Complex Intellectual Property Landscape: Developing generic drugs involves navigating
complex intellectual property landscapes. Indian generic companies face legal
challenges from patent holders who may try to extend their exclusivity rights or sue the
Indian companies for patent infringement. Most of the originator companies choose to
initiate patent litigation against the Indian generic manufacturer. Resolving these
disputes can be time-consuming and costly. This results in delays in the approval and
launch of the generic version, as well as additional substantial legal costs for the Indian
generic companies. Further, the patent landscape is dynamic, and new patents or
changes to existing patents can impact the development of generic drugs. Indian
companies need to closely monitor patent expiration dates, patent challenges, and legal
developments to identify opportunities for generic drug development. The innovator
companies also try evergreening the patents by extending the exclusivity period of the
drugs by obtaining additional patents or regulatory exclusivities. This can delay the entry
of Indian generic competitors into the market.
6.1.2 Lack of R&D and Innovation: Developing generic drugs requires reverse engineering of
the drugs many time the incremental innovation in the pharmaceutical products. Indian
generics have the technical know-how for these processes however it requires
significant investment in research and development (R&D) and ensure bioequivalence
with the original branded drug. Indian companies face the challenge of balancing R&D
investments with the cost pressures of generic manufacturing.
6.1.3 Regulatory Compliance: Indian companies need to adhere to stringent regulations and
guidelines set by regulatory bodies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Further, regulatory policies and
requirements can change over time, potentially affecting the drug approval processes.
Changes in regulations, guidelines, or interpretation of regulatory standards can create
uncertainties and impact timelines for approval for Indian companies. Filing a 505(b)(2)
ANDA requires demonstrating that the proposed generic drug has the same active
ingredient as the reference listed drug (RLD) and relies, in part, on data from studies
84 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
conducted by others. There are challenges in obtaining the necessary data, navigating
the regulatory requirements, and addressing any deficiencies or inquiries from the
regulatory authorities. Non-compliance leads to delays in approvals or even rejection of
the generic versions.
6.1.4 Manufacturing and Quality Issues: Like any industry, the pharmaceutical sector is
subject to regulatory oversight and quality control measures to ensure the safety and
efficacy of drugs. Regulatory authorities such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and India's Central Drugs Standard
Control Organization (CDSCO) have systems in place to monitor and regulate
pharmaceutical manufacturing practices. Ensuring compliance with Good
Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and maintaining consistent quality during
manufacturing is crucial. Any deviations or issues in the manufacturing process can
result in delays in approval or even rejection of the ANDA. Failure to meet the prescribed
GMP standards can result in recalls, regulatory penalties, and damage to the company's
reputation Maintaining high-quality standards is crucial for generic drug manufacturers.
Occasional instances of quality and safety concerns have recently arisen due to factors
such as manufacturing issues, inadequate quality control, human errors, or non-
compliance with regulatory standards through-out the world and India is no exception
to it. While the majority of Indian pharmaceutical companies maintain high standards
of quality and safety, there have been some instances where quality and safety
compromises have been reported in Indian generic companies resulting in the import
ban on the products manufactured by such Indian companies. However, it is important
to note that such instances are generally exceptions rather than the norm, and the vast
majority of Indian generic pharmaceutical companies strive to maintain high-quality
standards and comply with safety, efficacy and regulatory requirements. When quality
or safety issues arise, regulatory authorities typically investigate the matter, take
appropriate actions, monitor the companies and may impose penalties or restrictions
to ensure compliance and protect public health. Additionally, many Indian
pharmaceutical companies have taken steps to address these issues, improve their
quality control systems, and strengthen their manufacturing practices Indian companies
need to move up the ladder and comply with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) as
per the standards of USFDA and EU rather than mere WHO standards. This will help
their products reach the more lucrative and profitable pharmaceutical markets rather
than supplying to third world countries of world. The increasing number of recognized
manufacturing sites by USFDA can reinforce India’s credibility as a reliable and quality-
focused pharmaceutical manufacturer.
6.1.5 Competition and Market Dynamics: The patent cliff is going to expand the market size
for global generic drugs as the expiration of patents allows multiple companies to enter
and compete. The $251 billion USD patent cliff presents a substantial opportunity for
generic companies to capture the market, share and generate revenue. However,
navigating the competitive landscape requires strategic planning, international
85 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
expansion, Life cycle management, efficient operations, regulatory compliance, and a
focus on differentiation to succeed in the impending evolving and dynamic market.
Market Barriers can pose as hurdles in accessing international markets as the Indian
companies have to navigate complex regulatory processes and obtain marketing
approvals from multiple authorities in different countries. Market-specific regional
factors such as local pricing policies, reimbursement systems, and market acceptance
of generics also pose challenges The acceptance of a generic drug by physicians,
patients, and healthcare providers can vary. The Indian companies sometimes face
hurdles in establishing relationships with distributors, pharmacy benefit managers
(PBMs), or negotiating favourable reimbursement agreements with payers. Further, the
pricing of generic drugs is subject to intense competition. When multiple generic
versions of a drug enter the market after patent expiry, it can lead to intense
competition and price erosion over the period. The pricing of the generic drug can be
significantly lower compared to the originator's product, impacting the profitability of
the generic manufacturer. Indian companies face challenges in maintaining profitability
due to price erosion caused by increased competition from other generic
manufacturers. Additionally, fluctuations in raw material costs and currency exchange
rates can affect the profitability of generic drug manufacturing.
86 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
7 WAY FORWARD FOR INDIAN GENERIC COMPANIES TO MITIGATE BUSINESS RISKS
1. Investment in Incremental Innovation: Indian generic companies have a limited risk
appetite for the new drug development. However, the Indian companies are not
hesitant to invest in research and development (R&D) of generic incrementally
innovative pharmaceuticals formulations. This includes the development of novel drug
delivery systems, improved dosage forms, and enhanced therapeutic efficacy.
Innovation helps generic companies differentiate themselves from competitors and
gain a competitive edge in the market. In addition, R&D investment is necessary to
comply with stringent regulatory requirements. Generic pharmaceutical companies
must demonstrate bioequivalence to the reference product or the innovator drug
through comprehensive studies and clinical trials. Investing in R&D enables companies
to generate the necessary clinical data and evidence required for regulatory
submissions and approvals. By investing in R&D, generic companies can develop
patents, trademarks, and proprietary technologies. This helps in building a strong IP
portfolio, protecting their innovations, and ensuring market exclusivity for a certain
period, thus providing a competitive advantage. R&D investment allows generic
companies to expand their product portfolio by developing and launching a wider range
of generic drugs. This diversification enables them to target different therapeutic areas,
address unmet medical needs, and cater to a larger customer base. generic companies
in managing the lifecycle of their products effectively. By investing in R&D, they can
extend product life cycles through various strategies such as line extensions,
reformulations, and developing combination therapies. This allows them to maximize
product value and market presence even after the expiry of the reference product's
patent. A well-diversified portfolio enhances revenue opportunities and reduces
dependency on a few products.
2. Market Differentiation: R&D investment enables generic companies to develop niche
or specialty products that may have limited competition. These products may target
rare diseases, orphan indications, or specific patient populations. By focusing on
specialized therapeutic areas, generic companies can differentiate themselves,
command higher pricing, and establish a unique market position. Unique product
portfolio opens doors for Indian generic companies to collaborations and partnerships
with other global pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, and academic
organizations. Such partnerships can leverage shared expertise, resources, and

4. Product Diversification: Product diversification is crucial for Indian generic companies
to reduce risk, enhance competitiveness, and achieve sustainable growth in the ever-
changing pharmaceutical industry. By expanding their product offerings and targeting
diverse markets, generic companies can build resilience, adapt to market dynamics, and
capture a larger share of the global healthcare market Product diversification is the need
of hour for Indian generic companies for several reasons. The pharmaceutical industry
is highly competitive, and generic companies face numerous risks such as long and
costly patent litigations, regulatory hurdles, and intense competition. Diversification
helps mitigate these risks by spreading them across multiple products and therapeutic
areas. If one product faces challenge or fails to perform as expected, other products can
compensate for the loss, reducing the overall impact on the company's financial health.
By diversifying their product portfolio, Indian generic companies can target a broader
range of therapeutic areas, which allows them to access larger markets and reach a
wider customer base. This helps reduce reliance on a single product or therapeutic
category, making the company less vulnerable to fluctuations in demand or changes in
market dynamics. A well-diversified product portfolio provides more stable revenue
streams. Different products may have varying lifecycles, market dynamics, and
competitive landscapes. By having a mix of products at different stages of their lifecycle,
Indian generic companies can balance revenue fluctuations and maintain a consistent
revenue stream over time. Diversification enables generic companies to differentiate
themselves from competitors. By offering a wide range of products, they can cater to
diverse customer needs and preferences. This can create a competitive advantage by
attracting a larger customer base, better distributorship network, building brand
recognition, and establishing strong relationships with healthcare providers.
5. Partnerships and Collaborations: Indian Generic companies need to always look for
Partnerships and collaborations to take advantage of the potential opportunities
created due the patent expiration. In case of inadequate inhouse research and
development capabilities or limited products in R&D kitty, partnering with research
institutions, academic organizations, or other pharmaceutical companies provides
generic companies with access to additional R&D capabilities and expertise. This
enables them to accelerate the development of generic versions of drugs whose patents
are expiring. Collaborations can help expedite the research process, reduce
development costs, and enhance the likelihood of timely market entry.
6. Knowledge and Technology Transfer: Collaborating with partners who have expertise
in specific therapeutic areas or technologies allows generic companies to gain valuable
insights and knowledge. This knowledge transfer can aid in understanding the intricacies

processes and enhance the quality of generic products. Establishing local manufacturing
capabilities or entering into technology transfer agreements can enhance market
88 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
presence of Indian generic companies and overcome the country specific trade barriers.
Local production can lead to cost savings, improved supply chain efficiency, and
regulatory advantages, while technology transfer facilitates knowledge sharing and
capacity building, supporting local economic growth and market expansion. Regulatory
requirements for generic drug approvals vary across different regions, and partnering
with companies or organizations experienced in navigating regulatory landscapes can
help expedite the approval process. Collaborators can assist in compiling the necessary
documentation, conducting bioequivalence studies, and addressing regulatory queries,
ensuring a smoother path to market entry.
7. Market Access and Distribution: Partnering with established pharmaceutical
companies or distributors can help Indian generic companies gain access to established
distribution networks and market channels across the globe. Collaborations can provide
opportunities to leverage existing sales and marketing capabilities, enabling generic
products to reach a wider customer base more efficiently. Partnerships can also help
navigate complex market dynamics, negotiate pricing and reimbursement agreements,
and create market entry strategies. By joining forces with complementary partners,
generic companies can offer value-added services, differentiated product formulations,
or unique therapeutic combinations. Such collaborations enhance the competitive
advantage and increase the attractiveness of generic alternatives in the market.
8. Risk Sharing and Cost Optimization: Collaborations allow for risk sharing and cost
optimization. Developing generic alternatives to branded drugs requires significant
investments in R&D, clinical trials, and regulatory compliance. By partnering with other
companies or organizations, the financial burden and risks associated with these
activities can be shared. Collaboration can help reduce costs, increase efficiency, and
improve resource allocation, thereby maximizing the potential return on investment.
9. Business Development and Licensing Opportunities: Collaborations can provide Indian
generic companies with access to potential licensing and business development
opportunities. Partnering with innovative pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical
companies or research institutions may open avenues for in-licensing or acquiring new
drug candidates or technologies. This enables generic companies to expand their
pipeline, explore new revenue streams, and drive future growth. Partnering with other
pharmaceutical companies can facilitate portfolio expansion and diversification. By
combining resources and capabilities, generic companies can expand their product
offerings and target a broader range of therapeutic areas. This enables them to capture
a larger market share, mitigate risks associated with a single product, reduce
dependence on a limited portfolio and establish a stronger presence in the market
10. Market Research: Conducting thorough market research is essential for Indian generic
companies to understand the demand, competition, pricing dynamics, and regulatory
89 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
landscape in different geographies. By identifying market opportunities, unmet needs,
and emerging trends, Indian generic companies can develop targeted strategies for
market entry and expansion. Customizing product offerings based on regional market
needs can enhance acceptance and adoption of Indian generic companies and their
products. Gradual expansion into new geographical regions is a common approach
whereby Indian companies can start by targeting regions with favourable regulatory
environments, growing healthcare infrastructure, and high demand and acceptance of
generic drugs. Once a strong foothold is established, further expansion into
neighbouring countries or other strategic markets can be pursued by such companies.
Investing in regulatory expertise and building a strong regulatory affairs team can
further facilitate market access and expansion of Indian generic companies. Indian
Generic pharmaceutical companies can collaborate with international pharmaceutical
companies for licensing, distribution, or manufacturing agreements to access new
markets. Developing an efficient and reliable supply chain is crucial for global expansion.
Once the Indian company develops any international collaboration, ensuring
uninterrupted supply of raw materials (API and excipients) & finished products, reducing
lead times, and managing logistics effectively are essential to meet customer demand
in different regions. Collaborating with reliable suppliers, optimizing inventory
management, and implementing robust distribution strategies are key elements of a
successful global supply chain. Partnering with established local companies in foreign
countries that have a strong presence and distribution networks in specific regions can
help Indian generic companies navigate regulatory complexities and cultural nuances,
enabling market entry and expansion. Acquiring or merging with local companies or
competitors in target markets can expedite market entry and expansion for Indian
companies. This strategy provides access to established infrastructure, distribution
networks, customer relationships, and regulatory knowledge.
11. Authorized Generics Model: In some cases, Indian generic companies may enter into
agreements with the original brand manufacturer to produce and market an
"authorized generic" version of the drug. These authorized generics are essentially
identical to the branded drug and are often priced competitively (substantially less than
the innovator but relatively higher than the generic products) to capture a significant
market share. This strategy leverages the brand recognition of the original drug while
offering a more affordable alternative. Pharma major Dr Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd has
expanded its collaboration with Amgen in India to market and distribute three of the
latter’s medicines in the domestic market. As part of the collaboration, Hyderabad-
based Dr Reddy’s commercialized Amgen’s XGEVA (denosumab), Vectibix
(panitumumab) and Prolia (denosumab) in the therapeutic areas of oncology and
osteoporosis.

8. WAY FORWARD FOR INDIAN GENERIC COMPANIES TO MITIGATE QUALITY RISKS
Quality assurance and safety are paramount during the development of generic versions of
patented drugs. When evaluating the quality and safety of pharmaceutical products, it is
essential for Indian generic companies to consider the overall regulatory framework,
compliance track record, and reputation of the specific company. Regulatory authorities, such
as the FDA, EMA, and CDSCO, play a critical role in ensuring adherence to standards and
addressing any reported issues. By adhering to stringent quality assurance measures,
conducting thorough testing and evaluations, and complying with regulatory requirements,
generic drug manufacturers can mitigate safety concerns and ensure that their products are
safe, effective, and of high quality for patients. Generic pharmaceutical companies exploring
the markets of off-patent drugs need to implement robust quality assurance and compliance
measures to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of their products. By implementing the
quality assurance and compliance measures, generic pharmaceutical companies can ensure the
consistent quality of their products, meet regulatory requirements, and build trust among
healthcare professionals and patients. A strong focus on quality, compliance, and patient safety
is paramount to the success and reputation of Indian generic companies in the global
marketplace. Below are some key measures that should be taken by Indian Generic companies:
1. Establish a Quality Management System (QMS): Establishing a comprehensive QMS is
vital for Indian generic companies with global aspirations. A well-designed QMS
encompasses procedures, policies, and processes that ensure consistent quality
throughout the entire product lifecycle, from product development to manufacturing,
distribution, and post-marketing surveillance. This includes documentation control,
change management, internal audits, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Implementing a culture of continuous improvement is crucial for generic companies to
stay competitive and maintain high-quality standards. This involves monitoring key
performance indicators, conducting regular quality reviews, and implementing
corrective and preventive actions to address any deviations or non-conformities. The
Indian generic companies with global aspirations should establish robust testing
protocols and employ analytical techniques, such as chromatography, spectroscopy,
and dissolution testing, to assess the product's compliance with established
specifications. Learning from quality incidents, customer feedback, and emerging
industry trends helps drive continuous improvement initiatives.
2. Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) and Key Starting Material (KSM) Sourcing:
Generic manufacturers need to ensure the quality and safety of the API and KSM used
in their products. Most of this raw material is imported by Indian companies from
countries like China. Indian Generic companies should have a robust supplier
qualification process in place to ensure the quality and reliability of raw materials, APIs,
and other components sourced from external suppliers. Conducting regular audits of
suppliers, assessing their quality systems, and verifying compliance with quality
standards are important steps to mitigate supply chain risks. The Indian companies need
91 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
to perform proper due diligence before the selection of API suppliers and should not be
dependent only on the documents like Certificate of Analysis (CoA) issued by the
suppliers of raw materials. The Indian generic companies should have systems in place
for the testing of incoming raw materials ensuring compliance with regulatory
requirements for purity, stability, and impurity levels. If the companies, do not have the
such inhouse testing capabilities for checking the quality of incoming APIs and KSMs,
they can outsource the testing activities to NABL accredited laboratories after proper
due diligence of such labs. Ensuring the quality of imported APIs and KSMs is the most
important step Indian companies need to take with the immediate effect.
3. Manufacturing Standards: Generic drug manufacturers need to adhere to Good
Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to maintain quality standards throughout the
manufacturing process. GMP regulations cover various aspects, including facility design,
equipment qualification, raw material sourcing, process controls, packaging, labelling,
and quality control testing. However, surprisingly the GMP standards have a unsaid
grading system whereby GMP standards of USFDA & European countries are rated
above the WHO GMP and the GMP requirements of semi-regulated markets. Indian
generic companies should keep a long-term perspective and invest in facilities,
equipment, and systems as per the requirements of regulators like USFDA and EMEA.
Compliance with GMP as per US & EU standards ensures consistent quality and safety
of the generic drugs. Rigorous quality control testing should be conducted throughout
the manufacturing process to ensure that the generic drug meets the required
specifications for identity, strength, purity, and quality. These tests include assays,
dissolution testing, impurity analysis, stability testing, and other quality parameters to
confirm product quality and safety. In addition, the generic companies should establish
comprehensive batch release procedures to ensure that each batch of the product
meets the required specifications before being released for distribution. Batch release
includes a thorough review of manufacturing records, quality control test results, and
compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. The documentation associated
with batch release should be maintained as part of the company's quality records.
4. Conducting Bioequivalence Studies of Generic Drugs in reputed CROs: For the generic
pharmaceutical products, the pharmaceutical companies do not need to go through
entire clinical development cycle of Phase I to Phase IV. It is because the innovator drugs
are in the market for a long period and have been already been proven to be safe and
efficacious in a particular disease indication. In such case, generic versions of drugs must
demonstrate bioequivalence to the Reference Listed Drug (RLD) in terms of
pharmaceutical equivalence and bioavailability. Indian generic companies need to
conduct Robust comparative studies, including pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic
assessments, to establish the similarity of the generic drug to the RLD. Ensuring
bioequivalence is crucial for the safety and efficacy of the generic version and also a part
of the regulatory dossiers submitted to various regulatory agencies to obtain marketing
authorisation in respective countries. Most of the pharmaceutical companies outsource
the Bioequivalence studies to the specialized BA/BE CROs in India. There have been
92 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
some instances related to misconduct and data integrity violations by their hired CROs
particularly working in the domain clinical bioequivalence and bioavailability studies.
The Indian generic companies need to be very careful and conduct proper due diligence
while selecting the CROs for conducting the bioequivalence studies because the data
integrity issues can lead to jeopardizing the entire ANDA submission of the generic
pharmaceutical companies.
5. Stability Testing: Pharmaceutical companies need to conduct stability testing as per the
different zone requirements to assess the shelf life and storage conditions of the generic
drugs. Conducting product stability studies is crucial to determine the shelf life and
storage conditions of off-patent drugs. These studies assess the chemical, physical, and
microbiological stability of the product over time and under different environmental
conditions. It helps to determine the expiration date and provide for the shipping and
storage recommendations to ensure that the drug maintains its quality, safety, and
efficacy during the transient and throughout its intended shelf life.
6. Pharmacovigilance and Adverse Event Reporting: Continuous monitoring of the
generic drug's safety and effectiveness after it enters the market is essential. Post-
marketing surveillance programs help detect and assess any potential safety issues that
may not have been apparent during clinical trials. Timely reporting and response to
safety concerns are crucial to ensure patient well-being. Implementing a robust
pharmacovigilance system is crucial for monitoring and reporting adverse events
associated with off-patent drugs. Indian Generic companies with global aspirations
should establish processes to capture, evaluate, and report any safety concerns
promptly. Compliance with pharmacovigilance regulations ensures the ongoing
7. Labelling and Patient Information: Generic companies need to ensure compliance with
applicable regulatory requirements of labelling in each market they operate in. This
includes obtaining necessary regulatory approvals, adhering to labelling and packaging
regulations, and complying with pharmacopeial standards. Keeping abreast of
regulatory updates and changes is essential to maintain compliance and meet evolving
regulatory expectations. Accurate and comprehensive labelling and patient information
are essential for ensuring the safe use of generic drugs. Clear instructions, warnings, and
precautions must be provided to healthcare professionals and patients to minimize any
potential risks and promote safe and effective use of the medication.

9. PRICING STRATEGIES FOR INDIAN GENERIC COMPANIES
Patent expiration a natural milestone in a product’s lifecycle and could mean the end of a
product’s value however the innovator companies similar to market launch strategically plan it
to ensure optimum returns. Prior to executing a successful generic product launch strategy, it
is critical to understand existing product dynamics across stakeholders, namely physician,
pharmacy and patient. Indian Generic pharmaceutical companies have several pricing
strategies that they can consider after the patent of a drug expires. Implementing competitive
pricing strategies, especially in price-sensitive markets, can facilitate market penetration and
expansion. There is no standard pricing model which can be opted by all Indian companies for
all types of drugs. Indian generic pharmaceutical companies can explore differential pricing
models based on regional economic factors and healthcare systems to ensure affordability and
improve accessibility.
The Indian companies need to monitor the market dynamics, generic competitor's pricing
strategy, innovator's pricing actions and customer feedback to assess the effectiveness of their
pricing strategies and make the necessary adjustments as needed. In addition, the factors such
as production costs, competition, market demand, regulatory requirements, and
reimbursement scenario need to be factored in while determining the pricing strategies. Given
the high variation in affordability and lower prices of branded generics, patent cliff is going to
94 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
create economic incentives for physicians and patients (and payors in limited cases) to shift
volume from innovator brands to generics. The resulting rapid decline in a brand’s volume and
market share becomes the primary concern of brands facing loss of exclusivity (LoEs). While
some degree of branded volume erosion due to generics seems inevitable, the extent of a
brand’s decline can be mitigated even by the innovator companies through strategic initiatives.
Key factors which influence the prices of generic/biosimilar drugs are tabled below:
Key factors influencing the prices of biosimilars/ Generics
S. No. Factor(s) Impact on price
1. Market share The price varies as per the market share of generic medicines.
Competition from generic medicines leads to price reductions.
Generic market share is directly proportional to a decrease in
prices.
2. Market The chances of generic suppliers responding to factors influencing
competition and demand size and market competition are high. Originators set
demand prices strategically to reduce compulsory licensing and generic
competition threats.
3. Entry of new The introduction of the new biosimilar/generic drug generally
biosimilar/Generics result in substantial cost savings for healthcare.
4. Efficacy and safety A biosimilar/generic's price is only one aspect of its full value. In
addition to taking into account development and manufacturing
expenses, the outcomes of efficacy and safety in comparison to the
reference biologic/innovator’s medicine are also taken into
account.
5. Per capita income Per capita GDP is important factor while pricing the drugs. For
example, the price of insulin drugs originating from OECD countries
is higher than that imported from developing countries.
6. List prices, net The price drop is observed for originators after the entry of
prices, discounts biosimilars/generics or other substitutes in the market. The entry
of biosimilars/generics stops the increase in list prices but net
prices commence to decrease due to discounts offered by
companies.
95 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
7. Trust and To increase the market acceptance of biosimilars/generics,
confidence of the clinicians' and users' trust and confidence are essential. This may
physician increase the demand and impact the price.
8. Originator vs Switching originator drugs to generics can result in savings of upto
generics 65% for patients.
9. Selection strategy The price of the originator varies with the selection strategy
between branded and generic drugs in out-of-hospital pharmacies,
but not in in-house pharmacies of medical facilities.
10. Differential pricing Differential pricing policies are feasible mostly for ‘global’ diseases,
policies where drugs through worldwide sales recoup their R&D costs. The
differential prices vary with the pharmaceutical industry and do
not encourage sustainability or autonomy in developing countries.
11. Pricing policies Despite many efforts toward the implementation of policies like
internal reference, tendering and generic substitution to increase
biosimilar/generics adoption, a large difference remains in the
price and uptake of medicines between countries.
12. Price cap A continuous decline in the ceiling prices is associated with a high
Regulations incidence of exit of innovator firms from markets.
The ultimate objective of any generic company is to offer affordable alternatives to the branded
drugs while quickly maximizing market share and profitability. Engaging in discussions with
governments, payers, and healthcare providers to promote the benefits of generic medicines
and advocate for favourable reimbursement policies can also support market access. Below are
some of the pricing strategies that can be opted by Indian Generic companies:
1. Competitive Pricing Strategy: Generic companies often adopt a competitive pricing
strategy to gain a significant market share. They typically set their prices lower than the
branded drug but higher than other generic competitors. This strategy aims to attract
customers who prioritize cost savings while still maintaining a reasonable profit margin.
For example, the price of the generic version of Lipitor, a cholesterol-lowering drug, is
70% to 90% lower than the branded version's price. Generic Pharmaceutical companies
use reference pricing to compete with other generic drug manufacturers in the market .
2. Cost-Plus Pricing Strategy: Cost-plus pricing involves determining the manufacturing
and distribution costs associated with the generic drug and adding a predetermined
96 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
profit margin to arrive at the selling price. This strategy ensures that the price reflects
the actual costs incurred by the generic company while allowing them to generate a
reasonable profit. The development of a new drug can cost between $2.6 billion to $3
billion for innovator companies. Innovator Pharmaceutical companies add a markup to
the production cost, which can range from 50% to 500%, to set the drug's price. Generic
companies do not have to spend on the fundamental research and development of
these drugs and therefore once they have the marketing approval for their generic
version, they can play on the markup depending on the region, patient base and the
reimbursement policies.
3. Market Penetration Pricing Strategy: Market penetration pricing involves setting the
initial price of the generic drug lower than the competing branded drug or other generic
alternatives. This strategy aims to quickly capture a significant market share by enticing
customers with a lower-priced option. Once the market share is established, the
company may consider adjusting the price upwards to align with competitors
4. Price Skimming Strategy: After the loss of exclusivity, the Indian generic Companies
specially the ones which are able to get exclusivity for 3 months can set the initial price
of the generic drug relatively high to capitalize on customers who are willing to pay a
premium for early access to the generic version. They can set the price slightly lower
than the innovator company so as to provide a small cost benefit to the customers who
are early adopters. This strategy is often employed when there is limited initial
competition in the market. Over time, as more competitors enter the market, the price
is gradually reduced to attract price-sensitive customers. In Indian scenario, this has
been a quite prevalent trend followed by the generic companies.
5. Value-Based Pricing Strategy: Value-based pricing focuses on pricing the generic drug
based on the perceived value it provides to patients, healthcare providers, or payers.
The price is determined by considering factors such as therapeutic benefits, cost-
effectiveness, convenience, and patient outcomes compared to the branded drug. This
strategy requires a deep understanding of the market and the ability to demonstrate
the value proposition of the generic product. For example, a drug that can cure a life-
threatening disease has a higher perceived value than a drug that treats a common
ailment. Pharmaceutical companies use value-based pricing to set the price of high-
value drugs, such as cancer medications.
6. Differential Pricing Strategy: Differential pricing strategy, also interchangeably known
as ‘tiered pricing’ or ‘equity pricing’, refer to the adjustment of drugs' costs according
to the consumer's ability to purchase the goods. This strategy could take an important
part in improving access to essential medicines by regulating prices so that the
medicines are more affordable for the people in developing countries. Once the Indian
generic companies get the Marketing authorisation in regulated markets like US and
97 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
Europe, the companies can go ahead with setting different prices for different market
segments or geographic regions based on factors such as purchasing power, market
demand, and competitive dynamics. Because larger doses are sold in developing
countries, differential pricing may be beneficial for all stakeholders. Differential pricing
can also be feasible as there are substantial fixed costs, and variable or marginal costs
(the costs of production and distribution) are relatively low as the pharmaceutical
industry may have invested heavily on this in the high-income economies. Hence,
differential pricing allows low-income markets to pay only for marginal costs and high-
income countries to pay more than marginal costs to cover the costs of research and
development. Differential pricing can be in the interests of all parties as far as the
markets could be effectively segregated. The segmentation would prevent diversion of
low-priced products into high-income markets and a readiness on the part of consumers
in high-income economies to accept the higher prices. Indian Generic companies may
offer lower prices in less affluent regions or negotiate discounted prices with bulk
purchasers, such as government healthcare programs or hospital chains, while
maintaining relatively higher prices in more affluent markets.
However sometimes, the highly skewed income distributions within lower-middle and
middle-income countries seriously hinder the ability of the generic companies to do
differential pricing. Inter-country differential pricing cannot guarantee affordable prices
to the poorest population segments in lower-middle and middle-income countries, as
that would imply pharmaceutical companies forego the profits from the higher income
segments in these countries. At the same time, the poorest segments and their
advocacy groups feel ―en tled to the prices provided to low income and least
developed countries. Differential pricing is however not based on differences in the
prices offered on contract but on a complex system of rebates and discounts. The price
of drugs paid by the consumer is determined by a system of negotiated volume-rate
contracts between manufacturers, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), wholesale
distributors, pharmacies, and health insurance companies. The price charged by each
entity in the chain is largely driven by the ability of contracting entities to sell specific
volumes of certain drugs or achieve a certain share of a specified market. It is also
affected partially by the value each entity brings to the subsequent actors in the supply
chain.
Differential pricing solutions are generally unworkable unless the different categories
of buyers can be prevented from trading with one another. Covid Vaccines present good
examples of intra-country differential pricing. For example, the Covid -19 vaccine was
offered Serum Institute at two different price points within India. It was sold to the
private sector market around INR 700, and to the government and NGOs around INR
200/dose. Other examples of differential pricing that has been successfully
implemented in pharmaceutical industry include oral contraceptives; and medicines for
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS),
tuberculosis (TB) and malaria. With differential pricing, some of these drugs, namely
98 | Page IMPENDING PATENT CLIFF 2022-2030
vaccines and oral contraceptives, cost as much as 200 times less for low-income
markets. As a result, millions of people obtained access to these pharmaceutical
products. However, some of the limitations of differential prices include the availability
at minimum cost on a long-term basis, transparency in prices and setting minimum
conditions to verify the eligibility of developing countries.
