About the Generic Drugs Market

Generic drugs have the same chemical formula, dosage form, potency, route of administration, quality, and intended use as that of patented branded drugs. They cost 80%-85% lesser than their branded counterparts and are available soon after the patent expiries of original drugs. However, they are similar to original drugs in terms of safety, quality, and effectiveness. Manufacturers need to apply for an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) approval to receive approval of generics.

Technavio’s analysts forecast the global generic drugs market to grow at a CAGR of 10.53% during the period 2016-2020.
