Generic Oncology Drugs Market Analysis

According to a report released by VOXEU, with healthcare budgets worldwide under pressure, switching to branded generics seems a natural cost saver. Oncology generics are cheaper alternatives to branded medicines, offering efficiency gains to any healthcare system. With shrinking oncology drug pipelines and the impending expiration of many oncology drug patents, the production of oncology generics has increased rapidly.

Generic drugs are important in oncology as some anticancer drugs are only offered as generics. In most cases like, children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or women patients with early-stage breast cancer are treated with generics. Generic drugs are extensively used in supportive care. The most significant benefit of using generic drugs is the cost, which is up to 85% less than that of a branded drug. Thus, the rising penetration of generic oncology drugs is fueling the growth of the market. 

Generic Oncology Drugs Market Overview

A Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) report states that promoting branded generics constitutes a core instrument for countries' national pharmaceutical policies, ultimately reducing drug expenditure by expanding healthcare access. For example, to make quality generic medicines available at affordable prices, Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP) was launched by the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers, Government of India in November 2008. The scheme focused on dedicated outlets known as Janaushadhi Kendras, offering generic medicines at affordable prices. Till 2021, 8,012 Janaushadhi Kendras were functional across the country. The increasing focus of the Indian Government on providing generic drugs for treatment of various diseases including cancer is fueling the growth of the Indian generic oncology drugs market.

Generic Oncology Drugs Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Burden of Cancer

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death across the globe and is extremely affecting the quality of life. Thus, cancer will be a burden on society if not diagnosed and treated on time. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2022, ~20 million new cancer cases were diagnosed and about 9.7 million deaths were registered due to cancer. As per the same source, about 53.5 million people were alive within 5 years following a cancer diagnosis. To control and manage cancer, the companies are focusing on developing generic oncology drugs. Thus, the increase in the prevalence of cancer and the increase in the number of people dying due to cancer is fueling the growth of the generic oncology drugs market.

Inclination Towards Personalized Medicine – An Opportunity for Generic Oncology Drugs Market

Personalized medicine is a new approach but is a rapidly expanding field in the healthcare sector where a medical doctor can select a treatment on the basis of a patient's genetic profile which may not only minimize harmful side effects but also may lead to a successful result in short time. Cancer personalized medicine involves the study of individuals' genetic makeup for tumor growth. By studying a patient’s genetic makeup, the oncologist may customize the treatment depending on the patient’s genetic mutations. For instance, Mutations in ALK, KRAS, and EGFR lead to lung cancer. However, identifying the type of mutation in the lung cancer patient provides crucial information for the type of treatment.  Prior to personalized medicine, all patients received the same treatment for a particular type of cancer. However, with the advent of personalized medicine, the patient is given treatment on the basis of his/her genetic makeup. The patient’s tissue is excised to carry out the genetic diagnosis process. The patient’s tissue sample is checked for gene mutations, further depending on the type of mutation, chemotherapy is carried out. This allows the right treatment at the right time, which reduces the mortality rate. Due to these advantages of tailoring the treatment based on an individual's genetic profile, the personalized medicine approach is likely to create many opportunities for the generic oncology drugs market.
