Market Growth Factors

Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer increasingly occur, which results in people demanding long-term treatments, and because of their cost-effectiveness, people project that generic injectables sell more. Also, the geriatric population will likely grow more because doctors increasingly inject to treat diseases like diabetes or osteoporosis. Teva Pharmaceuticals Inc. launched in June 2024 the authorized generic injectable version of Victoza to treat type 2 diabetes, thus this acted to demand injectable therapies.

New drug delivery systems and formulations develop innovative approaches to generic parenterals for clinical outcomes that are improved and patient convenience. Auto-injectors, advanced production processes, ready-to-use prefilled syringes approach the increase of compliance and competitiveness. The US FDA approved a single-dose prefilled syringe injection in February 2024. Baxter International, among other companies, developed ready-to-use formulations to ensure patient safety because approval happened in April 2024.

Branded biologics' patent expirations permit generic companies to bring in biosimilars and biologic products that are low cost. Recent changes to the regulatory policy environment, in particular the passage of the Generic Drug User Fee Amendments by the FDA, will help to encourage expedited approvals of generic drugs. One example of this support is that the FDA accepted Accord BioPharma's Biologics License Application for a biosimilar to STELARA in January 2024. This acceptance will allow the generic injectables market to meet growing global demand.
