- China – A major producer of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), though finished drug production is less common.
- Europe – Countries like Germany, Switzerland, and Italy manufacture some high-quality generics.
- Mexico & Canada – Some manufacturing also occurs in North America due to proximity and trade agreements.
