About 1500 companies in the U.S.
manufacture and market medicinal drugs, generating combined revenues of over
$200 billion. The pharmaceutical industry
is highly concentrated, with the 50 largest manufacturers (e.g., Merck, Pfizer,
Abbott, Eli Lilly, etc.) accounting for over 80% of the total revenue. Small companies
are mainly active in research or the manufacture of non-prescription drugs. The
larger companies offer the most potential for coating operations in areas such
as chemical resistance and some molding operations in the final packaging
stages. Overall industry fundamentals are very positive as the aging of the
baby boomer generation promises to increase market demand. The market is driven
primarily by the research and development and marketing functions, and speed to
market is essential for continued growth.
