Top 5 Companies Driving the Global Generic Injectables Market

Fresenius Kabi, Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC, Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Sanofi SA, and Sandoz (Novartis) are the major players in the global market for generic injectables.

As per the analysis by Expert Market Research, the global generic injectables market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9% in the forecast period of 2022-2027, owing to the growing prevalence of diseases.

The global market for generic injectables is being driven by the growing prevalence of cancer, cardiovascular, and other diseases across the globe. This is coupled with the rising demand for such drugs to assist patients undergoing chemotherapy and alleviating after-effects, including pain. 

The oncology segment, among other applications, dominates the industry, occupying a significant share. Among various distribution channels, hospitals account for the largest market segment. 

Region-wise, North America is the leading market, accounting for over half of the total global market. The growth of the global generic injectables market in the region can be attributed to the availability of advanced technology and enhanced healthcare infrastructure. On the other hand, the Asia Pacific region is expected to be one of the emerging markets owing to the increased government expenditure in the healthcare sector in the region coupled with the presence of a large population.

The rising incidence of chronic, fatal, as well as lifestyle diseases worldwide, combined with the high expenses associated with their treatment, is fuelling the global generic injectables market growth. These drugs are bioequivalent to and are used as an alternative means to brand-name medicines, providing similar pharmacological effects in the treatment of various diseases. 

With the rise in the number of patients, the use of generic injectables is growing as they save time and provide quick relief by getting injected directly into the bloodstream. Although, the production of generic injectables is complex, their research and development investment are cheaper and takes less time. Unlike branded drug manufacturers, generic drug manufacturers need not invest heavily in the manufacturing and marketing of their products. 

The sudden increase in the overall healthcare costs has boosted the demand for these injectables. Further, the growing preference for generic oncology drugs for treating cancer patients is also contributing to the global generic injectables market. The rising geriatric population and the growing demand for cost-effective treatment procedures, particularly in emerging regions, are aiding the industry further.
