Innovation Investment: A Tale of Two Companies

In the competitive landscape of pharmaceuticals, innovation is key. Alkermes plc and Perrigo Company plc, two giants in the industry, have shown contrasting approaches to research and development (R&D) over the past decade. From 2014 to 2023, Perrigo consistently invested more in R&D, with expenditures peaking at 218% of Alkermes' highest annual spend. However, 2022 marked a turning point when Alkermes dramatically increased its R&D investment by over 500% compared to its 2014 figures, surpassing Perrigo for the first time. This shift highlights Alkermes' strategic pivot towards innovation, potentially reshaping its market position. As the industry evolves, these investment trends could signal future breakthroughs and competitive advantages. Stay tuned as these companies continue to innovate and redefine the pharmaceutical landscape.
