Market and
financial growth
Meitheal continues to invest in developing and expanding each therapeutic category within our generics portfolio, which is targeted to reach 71 products on the market by 2025. Our market share has surpassed 15% for over 50% of our launched products, and we now hold the leading or second-place market share on 10 molecules. Our ability to expand beyond generics will occur through the pipeline under our specialty biopharma business, including biologics, biosimilars, and a greater focus on fertility.
Diversity & Inclusion
Meitheal is passionate about inspiring and maintaining diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Companies that embrace people for their talents and character regardless of age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity, and perspective are simply better places of business.
More important, creating an environment where everyone from any background can do their best work isn’t just the right thing to do: It is the smart thing to do.
