Summary

The IBISWorld Global Pharmaceuticals and Medicine Manufacturing report comprises management units primarily engaged in the manufacture of biological, medicinal and pharmaceutical products in various formats including ampoules, tablets, capsules, vials, ointments, powders, solutions and suspensions. The overall pharmaceutical market can be divided between prescription based (or ethical) products and over-the-counter (OTC) medications. Note that the ethical sector can then be further segmented into brand-name products and generic products. The products in question are predominantly distributed via wholesalers and are then sold via pharmacies or distributed via hospitals.
