Top 20 Pharma Companies

Slowing sales, mega-mergers, generic implosions and whipsawing exchange rates have caused some shakeups within the Top 20 Pharma ranks. The loss of Wyeth and Schering-Plough, coupled with Roche’s defection to the Biopharma list, led us to find several new players: Otsuka, Gilead and Mylan. I’m not sure how significant it is that half of “the second tier” (companies 11-20) are based in Japan, but I find it interesting that Gilead (#19) is the only non-generic U.S. pharma company in that tier. (Just below the cutoff line, companies #21 and #22 are Dutch and Japanese, respectively.) I also find it interesting that Teva has revenue goals that could propel it into the top 7 ranks in the next few years. Aim high, pharma! —Gil Y. Roth, Editor
