== Introduction ==
 
The pharmaceutical industry is suffering from a lack of genuine innovation and is expecting what they call “A Perfect Storm”. Of the 57 marketed blockbuster drugs in 2002, more than 30 are expected to lose patent protection between 2003 and 2008. R&D cost will continue to rise. Sales growth is decreasing. There is an increased competition from generic (patent-free) drugs.
 
The regulatory environment is also changing. Increased revenues are met by legislation and/or insurance firm strategies trying to limit the rise of health care cost (e.g. by direct pricing controls or stimulus on the use of generic drugs). Clinical trials become more and more expensive because of government regulation.
 
The financial sector still demands a double-digit revenue growth from the Pharma industry with healthy profits.
 
Lifestyle drugs like may take over the role of the big cash cows. The pressure on the regulators to tolerate "off-label" use of substances to offset the huge research investments and shrinking returns from genuine lifesaving products will certainly grow. What has begun with Viagra is now continuing with substances like Modafinil (developed for narcoleptics, keeps healthy people awake for days without significant side effects) and new cognitive and memory enhancing products that are about to hit the market.<br>
 
==Scenarios==
===Asian giant awakens===
Asia not only became a big new market for Pharmaceutical products it also effectively invested in R&D and production of medicines and as such emerged as a new competitive force in the Pharmaceutical industry.<br>
Western countries, which lacked pre-established contacts in the region, failed to fully pick the fruits of the growing Asian Pharma and Biotech boom. Helped by support of a Republican government, big Pharma won law suit battles from the generics companies and were as a consequence assured the previously granted long-life (25 yrs) patent protection on their drugs. Pricing pressure was similarly restricted. This gave a much needed temporarily relief to the existing Pharma companies which needed to position themselves for the new Asian markets and competitors.
 
===Wind of change===
By 2007, scientists were making amazing strides forward in the discovery of new technologies. Investors regained trust in Biotech and innovative technologies. The world economy was booming. Growth in Asia, however, stagnated as bad investment policies from the past surfaced.<br>
 
Advances in bio- and Pharmaceutical technologies drastically changed the Pharmaceutical industry: from 2009 onwards, a patient’s genome could be scanned in one single day allowing to pick up potential genetic disorders related to observed diseases traits early; Patients gradually became used to carrying around an electronic card with their genomic data (allowing physicians and hospitals to quickly assess and follow-up on potential disease risks).<br>
 
The world did not experience any major new infectious disease threat and was generally
prosperous. The health care market, although not a top priority for the governments (no serious new threats), benefited from the overall growth in economy and the higher demands worldwide due to new treatments that were discovered.
 
===A plagued world===
===Unexpected success===
