This statistic depicts a projection for the total prescription drug revenue worldwide from 2020 to 2026. In 2021, the industry is expected to generate 1.03 trillion U.S. dollars in prescription drug revenue worldwide. Revenues are expected to reach 1.4 trillion U.S. dollars by 2026. There is an increasing growth especially in sales of so-called orphan drugs for the treatment of rare diseases. On the other hand, the COVID-19 crisis is not expected to effect the pharmaceutical industry too much in a long term. However, over 10 billion of Covid vaccine dollars are expected in annual sales until 2026.
