Customers
Teva sells primarily to wholesalers, retail drug chains, mail-order distributors, managed care purchasing organizations and hospitals.

Strategy
Teva’s strategy centers on growing its innovative portfolio while using its generics platform, global scale and regional operating structure to support access and lifecycle management. The company also emphasizes capital allocation toward higher-value activities and operational simplification to improve execution, supply reliability and cost efficiency.
Branded specialty products provide differentiation beyond commoditized generics.
Generics remain the volume base and support broad market access.
A simpler cost structure helps fund R&D and commercial execution.
Regional diversification reduces dependence on any single market.
Geography
Teva is headquartered in Israel and operates across 57 markets, with major commercial presence in the United States, Europe and International Markets. The United States and Europe are the most important operating regions, while manufacturing, R&D and commercial activities are distributed globally to support local market access and supply reliability.
Risks
Teva is exposed to intense generic-drug competition, customer concentration and pricing pressure, especially in the United States where a few large buyers control much of the market. It also faces regulatory, litigation, cybersecurity and policy risks that can disrupt product approvals, commercialization and supply continuity.
