The introduction of new product variants is occurring at an ever increasing rate to try to add value and prolong patent life, whilst totally new formulations and products are becoming harder to create. Meanwhile as existing products come off patent, generic companies quickly replicate them and win a substantial market share because they offer prices with which non-generic companies find it hard to compete.
