Returns on Pharma R&D still declining; report
Projected returns on investment in research and development (R&D) for the top 12 pharmaceutical companies has fallen to just 3.2% this year, down from 10.1% in 2010, according to an annual study by Deloitte’s Centre for Health Solutions.
The average cost for these companies to bring a drug to market has increased to record levels of just under $2 billion, up from $1,188 million in 2010 and $1,539 million in 2016. Conversely, forecast peak sales per asset – the amount of money a drug is expected to generate annually – has remained well below the 2010 value of $816 million, to reach only $465 million in 2017, albeit this is an increase from $394 million in 2016.
