Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7gqdp8/pharmaleaders) has announced the addition of the "PharmaLeaders: Global Pharmaceutical Market Benchmark Report - Retrospective and Forward-Looking Analysis of the Leading Pharmaceutical Companies" report to their offering. Pfizer was the Peer Group Benchmark Leader According to The authors's proprietary benchmarking analysis, Pfizer was the Global Pharmaceutical Market Benchmark Leader in 2013 with an overall score of 6.22. Pfizer's leadership status was the result of cost-cutting largely the headcount reductions from the divesture of its Animal Health business. This along with other rationalization measures, contributed to the company's income growth, and helped to drive Pfizer's net margin performance in 2013. Pharmaceutical Market Beginning to Show Signs of Stability According to Global Pharmaceutical Market Benchmark Report, the combined peer group revenue and average operating margin remained stable in 2013 when compared with 2012. Revenue from this peer group came in slightly lower by -0.2% to $718.7 billion. The average operating margin of the peer group was steady at 21.5%; however this was down by 90 basis points when compared to 2011. On the clinical side, R&D spending grew by $800 million to $111.9 billion in 2013, an increase of 0.7%. J&J was the growth leader in absolute dollars, increasing by $4.1 billion in 2013 driven by the company's immunology and oncology portfolios. Biogen Idec was the peer group revenue growth leader in 2013. Biogen's sales increased to $5.5 billion in 2013, a 25.7% rise from the $4.2 billion the company reported in 2012. Revenues soared as a result of Tysabri (natalizumab), the company's injectable monotherapy for treating relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), and the new oral MS drug Tecfidera (dimethyl fumarate). Sales of Tysabri grew 36.4% year-to-year from $1.1 billion in 2012 to $1.5 billion in 2013.
