Blockbuster Drugs Market Growth Through Innovation, Biologics, and Specialty Therapies

Introduction
Blockbuster drugs-defined as pharmaceutical products generating over USD 1 billion in annual revenue-have long been the backbone of the pharmaceutical industry. These drugs transform healthcare by addressing widespread chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disorders, cancer, diabetes, autoimmune conditions, and infectious diseases.

While the traditional blockbuster model has faced challenges from patent expirations and generic competition, innovation in biologics, biosimilars, cell and gene therapies, and specialty medicines is sustaining long-term growth. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases, coupled with increasing global healthcare spending, is fueling strong demand for breakthrough therapies.
In 2024, the global blockbuster drugs market is valued at USD 357 billion and is projected to reach USD 627 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 5.6%.
