DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “United States Generic Drugs Market, Forecast 2023-2028, Industry Trends, Growth, Insight, Impact of Inflation, Company Analysis” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The United States Generic Drugs Market is on a robust trajectory, with a projected valuation of approximately $147.57 billion by 2028, surging from $101.77 billion in 2022. This market is set to expand at a commendable Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.39% during the period from 2022 to 2028.

A significant driving force behind this growth is the increasing expiration of patents for branded drugs. This has paved the way for generic drug manufacturers to step into the market and offer more affordable alternatives, catering to the preferences of both healthcare providers and patients.

To stay competitive in the growing market, industry participants are utilizing various tactics including increased investment in research and development, mergers and acquisitions, and product innovations. Major players in the market include Teva Pharmaceuticals, Aurobindo Pharma, Sun Pharmaceuticals, Abbott Laboratories Inc., Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc., Viatris, Sandoz, and Dr. Reddy’s.

While specialty drugs, including biologics, remain costly for treating intricate illnesses, generic drugs have been a cornerstone in reducing drug expenses and enhancing accessibility in the US pharmaceutical landscape. The surge in generic drug approvals is supported by the FDA’s Drug Competition Action Plan and the reauthorization of the Generic Drug User Fee Amendments in 2017. In fact, generic drugs accounted for a substantial 91% of prescriptions in the US in 2022, signaling their pivotal role in mitigating the impact of soaring brand drug prices.

California, Texas, New York, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, and other states play an instrumental role in the United States Generic Drugs Industry. California, for instance, employs proactive strategies to promote generics, including legislation that mandates doctors to prescribe generics when feasible and initiatives that encourage pharmacies to advocate for generic drug usage among patients. This focus on affordability and accessibility has contributed significantly to the flourishing generic drugs market in California.
