The US leads the world in this industry, claiming both the largest market share and five of the ten largest companies (Bristol-Myers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson, Merck & Co., Pfizer, and Abbott Laboratories). Europe takes second place, even as the industry comes under more regulatory pressure here. Japan brings in the third place, as its super-regulated pharma industry comes out from the economic turmoil that has plagued the region.
