Spanish to English Bus/Financial Economics generic drug prices
This is a chapter on the economics of drug pricing in a document on generic drug stratgies

Does this mean a 'wide range' in prices?

Esta fuerte diferenciación por marcas en la producción, circulación y consumo de medicamentos tiene en particular 3 consecuencias:
- **Alta dispersión de precios**: Tanto en países en desarrollo como en países desarrollados, la dispersión en los precios de los medicamentos es muy alta. Se trata de la consecuencia de toda una compleja lógica de producción, comercialización (incluyendo aquí prescripción y dispensación) así como de utilización de los productos que propician su diferenciación.

(high/wide) price scattering

Yes it does mean that the prices vary over a wide range, but we can do better, in terms of fidelity, because "wide range" gives some idea of continuity. By contrast, the original text conveys the idea of being "all over the map", i.e, discrete, or scattered.
