Pfizer is a global pharmaceutical company and among the top pharmaceutical companies in the world. Pfizer is headquartered in New York City. In 2021, the company's total revenue was about 81 billion U.S. dollars. This is a significant increase compared to to all previous years and is, of course, a consequence of the record-breaking sales of COVID-19 vaccine Comirnaty.
Pfizer’s global positioning
Pfizer’s products are available in many countries worldwide and as of 2021 the company had 170 research and development projects in the pipeline. For several years, Pfizer was the top pharmaceutical company based on global prescription drug sales and is among the leading pharmaceutical companies based on research and development (R&D) spending. Pfizer’s largest segment is Innovative Health (IH). The Innovative Health business focuses on various rare diseases, vaccines, immunology and internal medicine to name a few.
Pfizer’s top products
Pfizer has several products that are quite popular. In 2021, products from the Prevnar family were among their top products based on revenue. However, Pfizer has several other drugs that are also well known. For example, Lipitor (atorvastatin calcium) is used in the treatment of high cholesterol. Over the years, however, Lipitor revenues have been on the decline, yet it remains part of Pfizer’s top products. One of Pfizer’s most well-known products, Viagra (sildenafil citrate), used in the treatment of erectile disfunction, has also been on the decline with 2019 having the lowest revenues on record. The low revenues are mainly attributable to Viagra’s loss of patent exclusivity in the U.S. in December 2017.
