Big Pharma Companies Earn More Profits Than Most Other Industries, Study Suggests

Big pharmaceutical companies appear to be more profitable than large companies in most other industries, according to a new study.

Researchers writing in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) investigated the financial balances of pharma companies dealing in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling drugs.

Their calculations found that in the years between 2000 and 2018, 35 big drug companies received a combined revenue of $11.5 trillion, with a gross profit of $8.6 trillion.
