Pfizer announced the completion of the acquisition of Hospira, a leading provider of injectable drugs and infusion technologies and a global leader in biosimilars.
The global market for generic sterile injectables is estimated to be $70 billion in 2020. In addition, GEP has significantly advanced its biosimilars business with a broadened portfolio of marketed products and pipeline assets, which will benefit from Pfizer’s best-in-class capabilities in monoclonal antibody development and manufacturing.
The medication management systems business, which is now part of GEP, is a complementary business that benefits patients and healthcare systems through improved accuracy and productivity in clinical care.
