Decisions in International Marketing
The exit of firms on the international
market is initiated by variety of factors
which have received the name of motives
of the beginning of activity of the
enterprise in foreign markets. These are
motive forces thanks to which the
pharmaceutical firm starts to export the
production for the purpose of use or
development of available resources so to
reach long-term and/or firm short-term
objectives.

In spite of difficult market conditions
and patent expiry of several
blockbuster drugs, the global
pharmaceutical markets expanded
to $770 billion in 2008.
Biotechnology and generic industry
once again increased their share of
the global pie to $120 billion and $
80 billion respectively. In spite of
increased generic and new arrival
competition, Lipitor retained its top
position as the best selling global
drug. It was followed by Plavix and
Enbrel.

Lipitor® still remains the world best selling drug with projected
sales of $13.3 billion as its 12% sales decline in the USA was offset
by higher international revenues and weak dollar. It was followed by
Plavix and Enbrel. It is the first time that a biologic product has
taken the 3rd top selling medicinal brand. Four biologics made the
top ten best selling list and seven biologics made the top twenty
lists in 2008. Patent expiry resulted in loss of sales of last year best
sellers like Risperdal®, Fosamax®, Prevacid®, Protonix® and
Norvasc®. Regulatory action by FDA (black box warning, restricted
use and labeling changes) resulted in loss of sales for Avandia® as
well as Aranesp and other erythropoietin brands. Tamiflu® loss of
sales was due to lack of demand to renew the stockpile for future
avian flu pandemic. Seven brands had sales greater than $ 5 billion
and fourteen drugs with sales more than $ 4 billion in the year 2008.
