How this measure is built
- Definition
- Lower bound of the projected average annual number of novel active substance launches over the next five years.
- Measure
- One slice of Novel active substance launches ( basis: forecast low, form: count ) . Total number of novel active substances launched on the market. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- 1 figure is a projection, drawn dashed and labelled in the table. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
