Why it Matters to You: Contactpharma’s lists the top 25 pharm and biopharma companies in order of annual sales volume. The list identifies the sales of each entry so it is easy to compare the performance among the top companies. Each entry links to a detailed company profile that includes a list of the company’s top selling products, sales trends, and revenue forecast.

Considerations: Contractpharma’s ranking is admittedly based solely on reported sales volume for the preceding year. This is a static datapoint that essentially a proxy for market share. It does not speak to company profitability nor does it capture volume trends, so reading the company profile linked to each listing is really necessary to begin drawing conclusions from the ranking.

Key Sample Findings

Pfizer continues to hold its post at the top of the heap and by a wide margin. More than $10 billion in sales separates itself from Roche. Novartis’ slide out of the top 5 was the most dramatic drop in this year’s report with its four spot fall from 2 to 6. No other company fell back more than three positions.
With Merck and GSK also falling back a couple spots, the way was paved for Roche’s climb to number 2 and Sanofi and J&J’s entry into the top 5 at positions 3 and 4 respectively.
