Strategic consolidations by major pharmaceutical companies are changing the global pharmaceutical market scenario. The major mergers and acquisitions (M&A) deals of 2009 were acquisition of Wyeth by Pfizer, Genentech by Roche and the merger of Merck and Schering-Plough. The dynamic nature of the pharmaceutical industry is expected to continue because patent expirations of major blockbuster drugs will lead the pharmaceutical companies to consider strategic consolidations to maintain their market position and, to have pipeline drugs. Pharmaceutical companies need to find alternative options to maintain their revenue generation and this can be done by acquiring regional and niche players. It is important for pharmaceutical companies to plan for the long term, so that the slow pace of research and development (R&D) can be objectively managed. The acquisition of small and niche pharmaceutical companies by major pharmaceutical companies show a very dynamic future scenario in the pharmaceutical arena.

The contribution in M&A deals involving oncology to the total value of M&A deals was 35%. This signifies that the oncology therapeutics area witnessed M&A deals of the highest value. This was followed by cardiovascular and CNS therapeutics contributing 20% and 19% respectively to the total value of M&A deals.

More than 70% of the total value of M&A deals was from oncology, cardiovascular and CNS therapeutics. This indicates the high value of M&A deals in oncology, cardiovascular and CNS therapeutics.
