Several pharmaceutical companies now switch their primary focus from generic prescription drugs to medical specialties such as cardiovascular medications and radioactive therapies. The pharmaceutical giants need to focus on specific medical market niches because the Trump administration urges these firms to reduce drug prices and medical costs in America. Pfizer, Merck, and Johnson & Johnson now plan to dramatically reduce headcounts in the next few years. In addition to Pfizer, Merck, Johnson & Johnson, Novartis now plans to cut jobs through early retirement plans and layoffs worldwide. The Swiss pharmaceutical firm Novartis also plans to acquire American cancer drugmaker Endocyte for $2 billion. This strategic move accords with the broader competitive landscape that induces pharmaceutical firms to specialize in new medications and therapies that exhibit low price elasticities of patient demand. In stark contrast to generic prescription drugs, the new therapies and medications require the productive use of medical tech advances and can thus become more effective in treating specific diseases.
In a recent tweet, President Trump condemns pharmaceutical firms such as Pfizer for raising the prices of about 40 prescription drugs. In response, Pfizer CEO Ian Read decides to defer these price hikes to assuage grave concerns about patient demand and consumer protection.
