Robust R&D Pipeline: A strong and diversified pipeline of drug candidates across its core therapeutic areas ensures future growth and the ability to replace expiring patents.

Established Blockbuster Brands: Key drugs such as Cimzia, Vimpat, and Evenity generate significant, consistent revenue and maintain strong market positions, providing financial stability.

Clinical Development Failure: The majority of drug candidates fail to demonstrate efficacy or safety in clinical trials, leading to significant R&D investment losses.

Regulatory Approval Challenges: Obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals for new and existing products is complex, time-consuming, and subject to evolving requirements and scrutiny.

Patent Expiry and Generic Competition: The loss of patent protection for key products leads to the entry of lower-cost generic and biosimilar alternatives, eroding market share and revenue.
