Indias largest drugmaker Sun Pharmaceutical Industries said on Friday it expects its 2019 revenue to come in short of analysts expectations due to pricing pressure in its main market, the United States. <\/p>\n

Makers of generic drugs have seen poor sales as uncertainty grows in the global market for copycat drugs due to rising competition and pricing scrutiny in the worlds largest healthcare market. <\/p>\n

The warning compounds problems at Sun, which has been struggling to get clearance for its factories that are under US supply bans due to quality control failures. <\/p>\n

It now plans to reduce its research spend on some generic drug projects that have become \u201cunviable\u201d, Dilip Shanghvi<\/a>, the companys founder and managing director, said on a conference call with analysts. <\/p>\n

The move follows larger rival Teva Pharmaceutical Industriess statement earlier this month that it planned to reduce its US generics business. <\/p>\n

\u201cAs a large investor, I am also unhappy,\u201d said Shanghvi who, along with affiliated parties, owns a major stake in the company he founded in 1983. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe re trying to get the (Halol) plant re-certified at the earliest. Its taking much longer,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

The worlds fifth-largest generic medicines maker is pinning its hopes on the launch this year of three specialty drugs: Yonsa for a type of prostate cancer, another, named OTX101, to treat dry eye, and Ilumya for psoriasis. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to find a new engine of growth and that is why we are investing in this,\u201d Shanghvi said, adding: \u201cWe will have to incur significant expenses for these important launches.\u201d <\/p>\n

Thirty-six analysts polled by Reuters expect Suns fiscal 2019 revenue to come in at 300.36 billion Indian rupees ($4.43 billion) \u2013 about 13 percent higher than the 264.89 billion rupees for 2018. <\/p>\n

While fourth-quarter profit was better than expected, helped by an uptick in India and emerging markets<\/a>, revenue in the United States, which accounts for almost 35 percent of the total, fell 3 percent, Sun said. <\/p>\n

Rivals Dr. Reddys Laboratories and Lupin<\/a> reported weak March-quarter earnings this week, blaming pricing pressures. <\/p>\n
