Compounding Pharmacy Market to Hit USD 19.93 Billion by 2030: Demand for Personalized Medicine and Drug Shortage Solutions Driving Growth

The global compounding pharmacy market is projected to grow from USD 15.12 billion in 2025 to USD 19.93 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 5.68% during the forecast period. This growth is fueled by increasing demand for personalized treatments and rising concerns over drug availability across healthcare systems.

Compounding pharmacies provide customized medications tailored to meet specific patient needs-especially those who require non-standard dosages, unique drug combinations, or allergy-friendly alternatives. The resurgence of interest in these services is not only driven by personalized medicine but also by ongoing shortages of mass-produced drugs. These pharmacies bridge gaps in supply while offering care solutions to individuals who otherwise cannot be served by off-the-shelf medications.

Additionally, chronic disease management and an aging population are key contributors to this growth. Many older adults have difficulty taking standard medications, requiring alternative formulations or delivery methods that only compounding pharmacies can provide.

Key Trends Shaping the Compounding Pharmacy Market

1. Rising Demand for Personalized Medicine

Personalized treatment regimens are becoming more common in healthcare, supported by research and initiatives that aim to improve outcomes and reduce side effects. According to findings shared in 2024 by the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Proteomics, protein-based therapies offer more targeted solutions than traditional chemical drugs. This aligns well with compounding pharmacies' ability to tailor medication formulations on a patient-by-patient basis.

This shift in care models-focused on customization-is generating increased interest among healthcare providers and patients. As awareness continues to grow, compounding pharmacies are expected to play a bigger role in medication management and treatment design.

2. Addressing Drug Shortages

Drug shortages remain a pressing issue in many healthcare systems. For instance, in 2023, there were 128 active drug shortages in the United States alone, according to the Center for American Progress. Critical medications, including chemotherapy drugs, were affected, with over 90% of treatment centers reporting shortages.

Compounding pharmacies offer a flexible solution by preparing required medications in appropriate dosages and formulations, even when they are not commercially available. Their ability to quickly respond to supply gaps ensures continuity of care and patient safety.

3. Increasing Geriatric Population and Chronic Disease Burden

With a rising number of elderly individuals requiring complex medication regimens, the demand for personalized medication is growing. Compounded drugs can be tailored for easier administration-such as flavored liquids or transdermal applications-for those who struggle with traditional pills or capsules.

Pain management and hormone replacement therapy are among the top therapeutic areas in which compounded medications are commonly used. Both have seen steady demand increases, especially among aging populations who face chronic pain or hormonal imbalances.

4. Product and Service Expansion by Key Players

Industry participants are launching new services to broaden their reach. Revelation Pharma, for instance, announced a wholesale offering in September 2024, aiming to make compounded medications more accessible to healthcare providers. This kind of expansion reflects broader efforts by compounding pharmacies to meet growing market needs and serve both human and veterinary healthcare sectors.
