With operations in the MENA region already tracking to $700m in revenues for 2020, Hikma is looking to grow the business further after beginning negotiations with GSK to buy certain of the originator’s businesses in Egypt and Tunisia.

Teva has disclosed plans to focus on climate action and resilience, responsible use of natural resources and emissions, effluents and waste, as part of a long-term environmental sustainability commitment. Meanwhile, Hikma has at the same time committed “to further reducing our climate impact and improving the resilience of our business in the face of future climate change.”

Cipla sees an incremental revenue opportunity of up to $500m for its US franchise by fiscal 2025 and expects to propel growth with strong execution of its complex generics pipeline. The company is also beginning to “lay the blueprint” in China and Brazil, it said at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference.

Hikma has temporarily stopped the roll-out of its rival to Advair Diskus in the US after it filed an amendment to its ANDA over packaging controls.
