A Comparative Analysis of SG&A Expenses: Merck & Co., Inc. vs. Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Limited

In the ever-evolving pharmaceutical industry, operational efficiency is key to maintaining a competitive edge. This analysis delves into the Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses of two industry giants: Merck & Co., Inc. and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Limited, from 2014 to 2023.

Dr. Reddy's Laboratories has shown a remarkable increase in SG&A expenses, growing by approximately 173% over the decade. In contrast, Merck & Co., Inc. maintained a relatively stable expenditure, with a slight increase of around 17%. Notably, Dr. Reddy's expenses surged in 2023, reaching a peak that was nearly ten times that of Merck's.

This disparity highlights differing strategic approaches, with Dr. Reddy's potentially investing more in market expansion and operational capabilities. However, the absence of data for Merck in 2024 suggests a need for cautious interpretation of recent trends.
