For a number of years estimates from industry groups on either side of the Atlantic have put it at $1.2 billion-1.8 billion.oseph DiMasi, director of economic analysis at the Tufts centre, says the most useful aspect of the $2.6 billion figure in his study is that it is comparable with previous figures. In 2003 his centre put the cost of drug development at $802m.
