Highlights
Shire exhibited rapid revenue growth over 2005–11, despite a dip in sales over 2008–09 caused by generic erosion to Adderall XR. Shire’s impressive performance has been driven not only by its effective lifecycle management strategy, but also by strong uptake of its Human Genetic Therapies portfolio.
During the forecast period, Shire is expected to see a slowdown in sales growth. This is largely attributable to the absence of new product launches in the near future, given that its R&D pipeline is largely based on early-stage products.
