Healthcare Expenditure and Pharmaceutical Sales Report Overview

The total global healthcare spending is projected to grow to $10.2 trillion and pharmaceutical sales is projected to grow to $1.5 trillion in 2023. The pharmaceutical sales are driven by new product entries and continued spending on COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics. The Healthcare Expenditure and Pharmaceutical sales research report provides an executive summary of healthcare expenditure and pharmaceutical sales forecasts from its Q1 2023 forecast cycle.

Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Market by Countries

GlobalData examines the trends in healthcare spending and pharma sales for five key groups of markets which are the US, the top five European markets (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK), Japan, BRIC MT (Brazil, Russia, India, China, Mexico, and Turkey), and the secondary emerging markets (Colombia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, the Philippines, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Thailand, and Vietnam).

The US: Omnibus spending bill in December attempts to improve access to healthcare before a new Congress is formed. The US lawmakers have proposed an FY 2023 omnibus spending bill that contains several major healthcare policies: partial relief from Medicare payment cuts, a new Medicaid redetermination deadline, an extension to telehealth flexibilities and rural hospital programs, a boost to mental health funding, and reforms to the FDA accelerated approval pathway.

Japan: Japan’s Cabinet Office passed a new economic stimulus package to address the recent rise in inflation. It includes financial support for domestic API manufacturing and vaccine development. Subsequently, in December, the government approved a record national budget plan for fiscal year (FY) 2023 which had a budget allocated for social security. Out of the social security budget, an amount is allocated for healthcare spending, including funding for national healthcare insurance, special measures to ensure stable drug supply, and special projects to expand public healthcare distribution.

The UK: In November, the Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt vowed to increase combined spending on the National Health Service (NHS) and social care in cash terms by the financial year 2024/25. However, the funding may be insufficient to atone for underinvestment in infrastructure and workforce shortages. The government plans to adopt the Vaccine Taskforce style approach used during the pandemic to target four key areas which are cancer, obesity, mental health, and addiction.

Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Market - Patent Expiries

In terms of number of drugs losing exclusivity in 2023, the highest impact by far will be felt in the infectious disease and metabolic disorders therapeutic areas. In terms of revenue of the affected originator product, the most significant patent expiry in 2023 was for an anti-inflammatory drug in the US in January 2023. Market penetration of biosimilar versions of Humira in the US is likely to be relatively fast, considering that the FDA granted approval with ‘interchangeability’ status to a biosimilar version in October 2021.

Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Market – Top Mergers and Acquisitions

In line with the trend seen in 2022, oncology and Central Nervous System (CNS) are likely to remain popular drivers for M&A activity, along with personalized medicine. Additionally, the pandemic and the war in Ukraine will cast a long shadow on pharma M&A activity for some time to come. This may lead to more deals designed to safeguard supply chains in case of sustained global market turbulence. Some M&A deals will also be driven by ESG considerations. A final driver will be protectionist policies that may encourage companies to acquire local partners in a bit to secure access to reimbursement and favorable pricing in countries that give priority to locally produced medicines. Some of the top M&A deals of 2022 are the acquisition of Biohaven by Pfizer in May and the acquisition of Global Blood Therapeutics (GBT) by Pfizer in October.
