NEW YORK, Oct. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

 

United States Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare Q4 2012

Includes 3 FREE quarterly updates.

 

BMI View: Regardless of who emerges victorious in the US presidential election in November 2012, the

country's healthcare system is set for further changes. Bloated spending on medical services is widely

acknowledged and will receive further attention during the 'fiscal cliff', when taxes will rise and

government spending will decrease, to reduce the trillion-dollar deficit. Any significant amendment to

healthcare in the world's largest economy will have far-reaching effects on pharmaceutical companies,

medical device companies, hospital chains and managed care firms/health insurers.

 

Headline Expenditure Projections

 

:

- Pharmaceuticals: US$337.1bn in 2011 to US$343.1bn in 2012; +1.8% growth in local currency

terms. Forecast unchanged from Q312.

- Healthcare: US$2,708bn in 2011 to US$2,864bn in 2012; +5.8% growth in local currency

terms. Forecast unchanged from Q312.

- Medical devices: US$133bn in 2011 to US$139bn in 2012; +4.6% growth in local currency

terms. Forecast unchanged from Q312.

Risk/Reward Rating: The US pharmaceutical risk/reward ratings (RRR) score has increased from 79.1

out of 100 in Q312 to 80.6 in Q412. This was due to an upwards revision to the medium-term

pharmaceutical market growth rate. This in turn boosted the industry rewards component of the

proprietary ratings systems. Scores for the other components – country rewards, industry risks and

country risks – remain unchanged this quarter.

 

Key Trends And Developments

 

:

- In August 2012, Aetna acquired Coventry Health Care for US$7.3bn, including the

assumption of Coventry debt. The purchase gives Aetna increased presence in the two main US

government-run health insurance schemes: Medicaid for those on low incomes and Medicare for

the elderly. Both plans will see growth over the medium term, due to President Obama's

healthcare reforms and the country's ageing population.

- In June 2012, the US Senate passed legislation that will ensure new medicines continue to reach

the market soon after the successful completion of clinical trials. This benefits pharmaceutical

companies and patients. Under the fifth reauthorisation of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act

(PDUFA), the government also benefits, since generic drugs will be introduced in a shorter

timeframe, consequentially lowering spending on Medicare.

6

- The June 2012 decision by the US Supreme Court to uphold President Barack Obama's

healthcare law primarily benefits the millions of people currently unable to pay for health

insurance and therefore denied access to medical services. It also helps hospital chains, which

have lost money after treating people without the ability to pay. The outcome is neutral for

multinational pharmaceutical companies.

BMI Economic View: We maintain our 2.0% real GDP growth forecast for 2012 and our 2.1%

projection for 2013. The economy is running dangerously close to 'stall speed', by which we mean that

any major unanticipated headwind would be enough to push the economy into recession.

BMI Political View: A victory for Mitt Romney in the US presidential election in November 2012 would

be a positive outcome for innovative pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers. He

has expressed support for the industry in the past and the Republican Party has traditionally aligned itself

with the free-pricing model preferred by drugmakers. We caution that the composition of Congress is the

key risk to this outlook. A Romney victory could be accompanied by a Democrat-dominated Senate,

which could inhibit any pro-industry legislation. It is also important to note that re-election of

Barack Obama would not be negative for pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers,

primarily because we expect continuation of existing policies that have generally been favourable.
