Summary


It is believed that there is substantial unmet demand for advanced generics in Latin America, and that the region is set to emerge as a globally significant market for off-patent medicines. However, growth will be uneven, with poorly regulated markets seeing little or no development away from locally-made, inferior copies. The value of the legitimate generics markets of the leading nine Latin America economies is conservatively expected to reach US$6.4bn at consumer prices by year-end 2009.

The Generic Option - Impacts for Latin America's Pharmaceuticals Markets, covering Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela and the signatory states of the CAFTA-DR trade accords with the USA.
