Significant Incidences of Chronic Diseases is Driving India Generic Drugs Market

Published: May 2021

India generic drugs market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of nearly 9.5% during the forecast period. A significant rise in the incidences of chronic diseases is driving the demand for generic drugs in the country. The National Cancer Registry Programme estimates that there will be 13.9 lakh new cancer incidences reported in India in 2020, which is expected to rise to 15.7 lakh by 2025. This leads to increasing demand for generic drugs that are playing a crucial role in cancer treatment. For instance, in everyday practice, patients with early-stage breast cancer, and children suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia are treated and cured with generics. In cancer care, generic drugs are also significantly used in supportive care beyond chemotherapy.
