The market is driven primarily by their affordability.
The USA represents the largest market for these drugs, accounting for the majority of the share.
The market is expected to reach a value of around US$ 360 Billion by 2022.


The cost-effectiveness of the generic drugs has emerged as one of the major factors which has contributed in influencing the growth of the market. These drugs require low investments in research & development, which brings down the cost of manufacturing significantly. This has encouraged the government and third-party payers to promote the manufacturing of these drugs and save billions of dollars on healthcare expenditures. Apart from this, the patent expiry of the branded drugs is also an essential factor which provides encouragement to the generic drugs market. Most branded drugs come with a lifespan of 20 years during which other manufacturers cannot sell the branded drugs under their companies’ name. However, when the patent protection expires, the manufacturing rights of these drugs is available to the other manufacturers. Some of the other growth inducing factors include rising aging-population, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, and incentives offered to physicians and pharmacists to promote generics. Further, the market is expected to reach a value of nearly US$ 360 Billion by 2022.
