Based on types, the United States generics market is bifurcated into branded and unbranded. The branded segment is projected to hold significant market share. Branded generics, often known as "value-added generics," are either a novel dosage form of an original patented drug or a generic drug with a particular trade name. Branded generics are distinct from 'commodity generics,' which are pharmaceutical drugs that are typically utilized as a replacement for innovator products once the patent expires. Increasing adoption for newer versions of branded generic pharmaceuticals is expected to boost the growth of the segment.
On the basis of therapy areas, the market is segmented into CNS, diabetes, cardiovascular, oncology, dermatology, rheumatology, genitourinary/hormonal, respiratory, and others. The cardiovascular segment is anticipated to account for a substantial share. Rising occurrence of cardiovascular disease, which includes circulation problems, heart failure, high blood pressure, dyslipidaemia, cholesterol, arrhythmias, angina, and stroke among the ageing population is one of the main causes of death in the country.
Owing to a series of cardiovascular medicine patent expirations, the cardiovascular segment accounts for more than 6% of the global generic drug market. As the number of cardiovascular cases increases, so will the demand for their treatment. As a result, the segment is expected to expand significantly throughout the forecast period.
In terms of drug deliveries, the United States generics market is fragmented into dermal/topical, inhalers, injectable, and oral. The injectable segment is expected to expand at a robust pace during the forecast period. Tablets and capsules are not the only ways to administer the medicine to the body. Injectable are another option and are considered to be more effective due to the absorption of the drug using this route. In this injectable area, new developments are taking place that allow the medicine takes less time to react when administered this way. Recent advancements in needle-free injectors have aided its expansion.
Based on distribution channels, the market is bifurcated into hospital pharmacies and retail pharmacies. The hospital pharmacies segment is anticipated to register a substantial growth rate in the coming years due to the qualified healthcare experts are required to prescribe generic pharmaceuticals in order to avoid negative medication side effects. Furthermore, hospitals aid in the reduction of harmful medication reactions in patients during medical procedures.
