RDY vs VTRS Comparison

Dr. Reddy's is one of the largest generic drug manufacturers in the world. It has a significant presence in North America, a region that makes up roughly half of its generics sales, and it services India (about 20% of its generics sales), Russia (10%), and certain European and Latin American countries. Beyond simple generics, Dr. Reddy's also has a solid portfolio of injectables which make up 25% of its North America sales. In branded generic markets like India, Dr. Reddy's has established a compelling presence with its strong brand name and earned a top five spot in key therapeutic areas including oncology and gastroenterology. Dr. Reddy's also has an active pharmaceutical ingredient business that manufactures over 150 APIs and sells in over 75 countries.

Viatris was formed in November 2020 through the combination of Upjohn, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer that specialized in off-patent drugs, and Mylan, a global pharmaceutical manufacturer that focused on generic and specialty drugs. By joining forces, Viatris became one of the largest generic drug manufacturers in the world, servicing over 165 countries. Generics (commoditized and complex) and biosimilars make up roughly 40% of Viatris' total sales. Remaining 60% of sales is derived from its portfolio of legacy products which includes Lipitor, Norvasc, Lyrica, and Viagra. While it covers more than 10 major therapeutic areas, Viatris has identified dermatology, ophthalmology, and gastroenterology as its three key areas of focus for future innovations.
