USA: Pharma Lobbying Spending.
According to Open Secrets, which tracks industry lobbying, "the pharmaceutical industry as a whole spent $69.6 million on lobbying in the first three months" of 2012 (see "Pharma, Utilities and Big Ag Lead Lobbying in 2012"). Included in that category are "Health products" other than Rx medicines. Looking at just "Pharmaceutical Manufacturers" (including PhRMA, the drug industry's U.S. trade association), the total lobbying spend in the first quarter of 2012 was $48.1 million.
Here's a chart of the biggest spenders in this category so far:
Annual pharmaceutical lobbying -- as measured in dollars -- increased more or less steadily since 1998, but peaked in 2009 at $186.1 million. If the spending in 2012 continues at the pace of the first three months, the pharmaceutical industry will spend approximately $192.4 million in lobbying for the year (see chart; the 2012 bar is projected as 4 X Q1).
