Teva Economic Impact Infographic
Teva’s Economic Impact Report, an independent study by Matrix
Global Advisors (MGA), demonstrates how Teva, the leading provider
of generic medicines, saved $43.1 billion across its major markets
in 2020 alone. These major markets represented 75% of Teva’s
revenues in 2020.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Teva’s manufacturing, distribution
and R&D sites remained open to continue supplying quality,
affordable medicines to the nearly 200 million patients it serves
every day. In addition, the Company’s economic activity supported
nearly 250,000 jobs and contributed $52 billion to economic output
across 15 countries.
“During 2020, Teva continued to provide access to quality
affordable medicines, despite the challenges brought by the
pandemic,” said Kåre Schultz, President and CEO of Teva. “The
report released today shows the extent to which our leadership in
generics contributes economic benefits and healthcare savings,
particularly in the United States, where we saved $28.8 billion in
healthcare costs in 2020 alone, $4.2 billion of which are savings
to patients.”
In the US, Teva’s 11 manufacturing sites supply 11 billion doses
annually. Teva medicines accounted for one of every 10 generic
prescriptions in 2020. The Company’s economic activity also
supported more than 57,000 U.S. jobs and contributed $15.7 billion
in economic output in the United States.
Teva is the leading generic medicine company in Europe, where it
operates 32 manufacturing and R&D facilities. Across 9 major
markets in Europe, Teva saved healthcare systems $9.6 billion in
2020, supported more than 100,000 jobs and contributed $29.5
billion to economic output.
“Teva employs approximately 40,000 workers in 60 countries
around the world and had net revenues of $16.7 billion in 2020. But
Teva’s economic impact is not just as an employer and job creator.
As one of the largest manufacturers of affordable generic
medicines, Teva saves patients and payers around the globe billions
of dollars each year in lower prescription-drug costs,” said Alex
Brill, CEO of MGA.
Combining its strength in generic medicines and knowledge of
specialty drugs, Teva is developing its pipeline and portfolio to
increase access to affordable medicines, including through the
development of biosimilars—highly similar less-costly versions of
the reference branded biologic drugs, which are made from living
cells or organisms. As the U.S. biosimilars market continues to
develop, savings are expected to grow and surpass $100 billion from
2020 to 2024.
With more than 10 biosimilars approved or in development, and
building off of 800 new generic medicine marketing authorizations
obtained in 2020, Teva will continue to generate savings for
healthcare systems, patients and economies across the globe.
