I'm not sure the claim that only one drug per class is allowed is accurate. For instance, I found one report that listed % market share of the various statin drugs there.
No different than in the USA.
I think a bigger issue is simply that the big companies are making more profit based decisions than just counting how much money is going into R&D. R&D spending is going down as they focus on better returns.
For a large organization it's probably just not practical to go after niche drugs unless you have a business model built around it. This should encourage growth in small companies to meet low volume needs.
There are a TON of companies like this in the Boston area alone.
