Abstract
The global $1.12 trillion market in 2022, will rise at a faster clip all along 2016-2020, then slow down a bit as major patent termination take hold. It is expected that the global market declined by 1.0% in 2015 but will grow by 4.8% this year. Prescription sales excluding generics will rise 4.4% this year and expected to reach $1.006 trillion in 2022. Generics sales will increase from $73 billion in 2015 to $115 billion in 2022 and constitute 10.2% of prescription sales at that point only 0.3 percentage points more than it is now.
