Summary


Although Norway is not part of the European Union, the process for pharmaceutical registration has been aligned to EU regulations. The relative ease of entry to the Norwegian market has enabled foreign companies to set up manufacturing plants, especially since the increased transparency in the pharmaceutical pricing structure.

Norway's pharmaceutical market is estimated to grow by 7.5% per annum to be reach US$4.1 billion by 2011. Due to the small scale of domestic production, increase in demand is likely to be met by imports. In 2004, imports were US$1.1 billion, an increase of 8.7% over 2003.

Since generic substitution was established in 2001, generic drugs have been able to gain an increasing share of the market, in terms of value and volume. In 2004, generics had 31.0% of sales and 47.6% of the market by volume.
