Description

Report Overview

The generic drugs market consists of pharmaceutical products that are bioequivalent to brand-name drugs in dosage form, safety, strength, route of administration, quality, and intended use, but are typically sold at significantly lower prices after the expiration of patents held by original manufacturers. These drugs undergo rigorous regulatory scrutiny to ensure they meet the same standards as their branded counterparts, offering cost-effective alternatives to consumers and healthcare systems. The market is driven by factors such as increasing healthcare costs, the expiration of patents for blockbuster drugs, and government initiatives promoting generic adoption to reduce expenditure.

The industry is highly competitive, with key players focusing on expanding product portfolios, strategic partnerships, and entering emerging markets where demand for affordable medicines is rising due to aging populations and growing chronic disease burdens.
