New Healthcare market report from Business Monitor International: "Germany Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare Report Q2 2012"

 

Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/19/2012 -- BMI View: Despite the threat of austerity measures and the government's focus on cost-containment within the pharmaceuticals and healthcare sector, as well as the impact of generic competition as a result of the patent cliff, we expect Germany to remain attractive to innovative drugmakers. In 2011, Germany's drug market was the fourth largest globally after the US, Japan and China. Furthermore, per-capita spending is high, there is a sizeable pensionable population and regulations are transparent - factors BMI believes will continue to bring in substantial income for companies operating in the country.

- Pharmaceuticals: EUR39.39bn (US$55.15bn) in 2011 to EUR38.40bn (US$51.46bn) in 2012; -2.5% decline in local currency terms and +6.7% in US dollar terms.
- Healthcare: EUR275.10bn (US$385.15bn) in 2011 to EUR280.97bn (US$376.49bn) in 2012; +2.1% growth in local currency terms and -2.2% in US dollar terms.
- Medical devices: EUR14.97bn (US$22.96bn) in 2011 to EUR15.64bn (US$20.95bn) in 2012; +4.5% growth in local currency terms and no growth in US dollar terms. Forecasts unchanged from Q411.
