Generics agrochemicals

On the other hand, generic agrochemicals continue to gain ground in Asia Pacific and South American countries. 

Active substances such as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals can only be economically marketed while they are under patent protection, before suppliers of generic products enter the market. Therefore, producers of such products cannot simply concentrate on costly research. As soon as possible after clinical trials and marketing approval, worldwide sales of the product must begin so that the remaining patent time can be used for... 

The development time can be a hurdle, especially when the optimal catalyst has yet to be developed or when no commercial catalyst is available for a particular substrate (substrate specificity) and/or when not much is known on the desired catalytic transformation (technological maturity). When developing a process for a new chemical entity (NCE) in the pharmaceutical or agrochemical industry, time restraints can be severe (see Fig. 1). In these cases, it is more important to find a competitive process on time than an optimal process too late. The so-called second generation processes, for example, for chiral switches, for generic pharmacenticals or the manufacture of other fine chemicals have different requirements here the time factor is usually not so important but a high performance process is necessary.
