ABT’s 1Q11 sales in emerging markets grew 38% year-over-year:



The 38% figure is somewhat artificial insofar as 2010 sales (but not 2009 sales) include the Solvay (#msg-41922225) and Piramal (#msg-50436738) acquisitions; however, even on an apples-to-apples basis, ABT’s 1Q11 sales in emerging markets grew more than 20% YoY.

Note the 117% growth in the Established Pharmaceuticals unit, which is where branded generics reside.
