The global pharmaceutical market is growing 7.8% annually.

U.S. domestic pharmaceutical R&D spending will increase 17% this year.

One third of Merck's $15 billion in human health revenue in 1998 came from external sources (i.e. in-licensed drugs/compounds).

Of the 42 blockbuster drugs in 1997 (i.e. $500 million sales), 27% were in-licensed compounds.

Among the 10 largest pharmaceutical companies, in 1992 24% of gross revenues came from in-licensed compounds. By 1997 that number jumped to 30%. It is estimated to reach 45% by 2002.
