2015 to 2021 Generic Injectables Market Revenue Analysis vs. Market Outlook 2022-2032

Fact.MR has predicted the Generic Injectables market to upswing at 13.3% CAGR between 2022 and 2032 in comparison to the 11.3% CAGR throughout the historic period. The rising number of cancer patients has augmented the need to use generic formulae to develop affordable and quality drugs across the globe.

In recent years, demand for generic drugs has seen a prolific rise. High developmental and investment costs associated with branded formulations have prompted key players to invest in alternative formulae which are more affordable and accessible to people, especially in the developing world.

Key Drivers Stimulating Generic Injectables Industry Expansion

Prevalence of Chronic Diseases & Cheaper Manufacturing Cost to Push Demand

The global generic sterile injectable market is principally propelled by the mounting prevalence of several chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, and the increasing geriatric population across the globe.  

The old age people are more prone to numerous diseases and spend more on healthcare, thus impelling the growth of the generic sterile injectable market. According to a report by International Agency for Research on Cancer, nearly 19.3 billion new cases of cancer and 10 billion cancer death were testified in 2021.

Moreover, governments in several countries are reassuring the dispersal and development of generic drugs to make them available to a larger populace, particularly rural people in emerging countries.

Developing branded formulations is a time-consuming and expensive process. The average time required to develop a new chemical entity is a decade. A cost of US$ 5-8 Billion is incurred in the development of drug formulations, owing to stringent government regulations that ensure the safety and efficacy of preclinical and clinical trials.

In comparison, the development of generic drugs is an inexpensive process. This is because they are exempted from the requirement to conduct clinical trials and toxicity studies.

Key Challenges to Generic Injectables Industry Expansion

Shortage of Raw Material & Intensifying Shipping Expenses Restrains the Market Expansion

Several regions across the world have expressed concerns over the supply of generic injectable biosimilars running short. This is attributed to the reduced availability of international air transportation and a significant increase in shipping expenses.

Shortage of supply for numerous critical medicines, especially the injectable form of drugs that are mainly used in cancer chemotherapy, is a foremost problem faced globally. Due to constant scarcities, patients are unable to gain access to basic life-saving drugs, and this dearth is likely to sternly affect the expansion of the market.

The causes for the shortage of drugs are swelling manufacturing issues like the induction of particulate matter in the vials, equipment failures, and fungal or bacterial contaminations, postponement in supply owing to unavailability of raw material to begin drug manufacture, and shortage of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API).

Countries such as the United States have pointed out that a reduction in the availability of international shipping will prove expensive, particularly for critical medicines. Rising shipping costs are anticipated to prove detrimental to the operations of smaller companies, as well as consumers who depend on these drugs for their health problems.

Nevertheless, there exists a silver lining in the generic injectables market. Generic-drug pricing may leverage in the short-run, owing to scarcity created by supply-chain disruptions. This will prompt consumers to pay a higher price for the drugs in the long run to secure their supply.

Country-wise Analysis

Projections indicate a robust CAGR of 11.4% during the forecast period.

Several prominent players are strengthening their positions in the region with augmented emphasis on clinical trials and through the introduction of several generic injectable drugs for critical diseases like cancer and diabetes.

For instance, Pfizer Inc. has recently partnered with Eli Lilly and Company, an American pharmaceutical company, to announce the approval of tanezumab, a generic injectable drug for treating osteoarthritis pain in the United States. With more proprietary drugs coming off patent in the approaching years, Pfizer has a far-sighted plan to develop generic versions of those injectables and acquire FDA consent to bring them to market.
