What the date means

Prevnar 20's US exclusivity date is based on company guidance. The date comes from the company's own filings or guidance. Secondary patents, new formulations or litigation can still move it. It is a vaccine. Vaccines are hard to copy, so competition after patents expire usually arrives slowly.

What's at stake for Pfizer

Prevnar 20 is 10% of Pfizer's 2025 revenue ($6.5B of $62.6B). With Ibrance, Xtandi and Eliquis, the drugs tracked here add up to 33% of Pfizer's revenue losing US exclusivity by 2035. Eliquis and Xtandi are Pfizer's reported alliance and product revenue ($8.0B, $2.2B).
