Abstract

The global pharmaceutical industry is expanding at a brisk pace with projections for world growth to be 8% year on year until 2009 (see IMS). This article assesses the key factors driving this growth. In order to do so, it applies theories of internationalisation which help point to the reasons behind this growth and uses industry specific data to support the main view points. The industry is of particular interest in that now firms are starting to globalise to improve skills and research capability, rather than focus on low cost production as is often the case in other industries, including automobiles and electronics.
