Market Estimation, Growth Drivers & Opportunities

The escalating prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and cancer is a primary driver of the generic drug market. As patents for numerous blockbuster drugs expire, the introduction of cost-effective generic alternatives becomes increasingly vital. Government initiatives promoting generic drug usage, coupled with favorable regulatory policies, are further propelling market growth

Technological advancements, including the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in drug discovery and manufacturing, are enhancing production efficiency and reducing time-to-market for generic drugs. Additionally, the rise of biosimilars offers cost-effective alternatives to complex biologic drugs, opening new avenues for market expansion

U.S. Market Trends and Investments
In the United States, the generic drug market is experiencing robust growth, with projections indicating an increase from USD 139.03 billion in 2024 to USD 231.69 billion by 2034, at a CAGR of 5.24% . However, recent policy shifts, including proposed tariffs on pharmaceutical imports, have introduced uncertainties. These tariffs aim to reduce dependency on foreign drug manufacturing but may lead to increased drug prices and potential shortages, particularly affecting generic drug availability .

In response, pharmaceutical companies are investing in domestic manufacturing to mitigate potential supply chain disruptions. For instance, companies like AstraZeneca and GSK have ramped up U.S.-based production to navigate the evolving trade landscape
