ACTIVITY 2: TOP 10 PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES AND THEIR PRODUCTS

SUMMARIZATION:
Pfizer’s supply is manufactured by Pfizer WBB and Pfizer Consumer. GlaxoSmithKline uses
seven manufacturers but only one of these is a local firm that manufactures a mere 4 percent of
the GlaxoSmithKline’s market share: Abbott Laboratories, Sanofi-Aventis, Roche, Merck Inc,
and Bayer obtain their drug products from their own manufacturing outfits abroad. Novartis, and
Merck Sharpe & Dohme also exclusively utilize multinational companies for manufacturing. All
the top manufacturing companies use Zuellig as their main distributor. United Laboratories, a
local company and the one with the highest share, is separate from the rest of the top firms.
Unilab mainly uses its own divisions/subsidiaries for manufacturing and distribution. On the
other hand, most of the top multi-national companies use Zuellig for their distribution but rely on
their own facilities (some in foreign locations) for manufacturing. The unbranded generics
captured the market, surpassed the share of the originators, and doubled market share within
half a decade. RiteMed is Unilab’s key producer of unbranded generics which holds 93 percent
of its total sales. Interestingly, in 2016, it has acquired Pharex, the generics unit of its closest
competitor - Pascual Laboratories.
