Earlier this month, Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News released its list of the top 25 best-selling drugs worldwide for 2013. GEN's list, which the journal released on March 3 (see "The Top 25 Best-Selling Drugs of 2013"), was based on sales or revenue reported by biopharma companies in press announcements, annual reports, investor materials, and conference calls during 2013. For each drug on its list, GEN has provided 2012 and 2013 sales, percent change from 2012 to 2013, and Q4 2013 sales and percent change for both 2012 and 2013. 2013 sales for the top 25 drugs range from $3.005 billion to $10.659 billion. GEN's top 25 rankings are shown below, with the additional designation of small molecule or biologic for each drug that made GEN's list.
