Market Insights

Increasing Development of Generic Drugs

A generic medicine is a copy of a branded drug that is no longer under patent. Generic versions are introduced in the market with an aim to offer cost-efficient drugs and increase the reach of these drugs to people belonging to different economic classes. Generic versions are popular due to their availability and affordability. For instance, according to a study published on the NCBI in 2018, the average brand name prescription price was almost 4-times the average generic price. Additionally, the companies are also focusing on the development of generic versions with an aim to offer antibiotics at minimal costs. For instance, in June 2018, Lupin launched generic Tobramycin inhalation solution in the US market. Further, encouragement from government authorities is also projected to drive the production of generic antibiotics, which would eventually drive the growth of the antibiotics market during the forecast period. For instance, in February 2019, the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) announced approval for commercialization of generic medicines manufactured by Indian drug companies in the US.
