The UK accounts for 10.0% of global pharmaceutical R&D and stands third globally, after the U.S. and Japan. The demand for generic products has also grown considerably owing to government support for generics over branded drugs. 

This trend is attracting various small- and mid-size biopharmaceuticals and medical device companies to enter the UK, thereby increasing the demand for regulatory support services. Thus, due to lack of expertise and financial aid, these companies cannot establish their own regulatory department. 

In addition, a significant impact of Brexit on the regulatory environment of the UK is expected as it may lead to the relocation of the headquarters of EMA to another country. This will in turn negatively impact the availability of top regulatory agents in the country and ultimately make the UK a less attractive market for established and emerging biopharmaceutical and medical device companies.
