ASIA PACIFIC GENERIC DRUGS MARKET 

SEGMENTED BY PRODUCTS, BY CONSUMBLES, AND BY APPLICATION, SIZE, 

SHARE, GROWTH, TRENDS AND FORECASTS 2018-2023

Generic drugs Market 

Asia Pacific Generic drugs market was worth USD 75.62 billion in 2018 and is 

expected to reach USD 112.86 billion by 2023 with a CAGR of 8.34%. This market 

will increase tremendously during forecast period. 

Generic drugs are copies of branded drugs which have exactly same composition, 

intended use, effects, side effects, risks, safety, and strength as the genuine drug. 

An example of a generic drug for diabetes is metformin. They are cost effective 

compared to branded drugs. 

Generic drugs are also known as abbreviated drugs. To sell a generic drug 

manufacturing company must submit an Abbreviated New Drug Application for 

approval. The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, 

mostly known as the Hatch-Waxman Act, made ANDAs feasible by creating a 

compromise in the drug industry. Generic drug companies have obtained greater 

access to the market for prescription drugs, and branded companies have 

obtained restoration of patent life for their drugs lost during FDA's approval 

process. 

The cost-effectiveness of abbreviated drugs has given it a competitive lead over 

branded drugs in the market. Key driving factor for generic drugs is patent expiry 

for branded drugs. Patent for Branded drugs with sales of up to USD 135 billion 

was expired in 2015. Nearly USD 150 billion worth of patents for branded drugs 

will expire by 2020 which will give generic drugs a huge advantage. One more 

trend which influences market growth is outsourcing. Presence of some key 

players in this market and developing economies are some driving factors in this 

region. Vendors are using outsourcing as a strategy to reduce their capital which 

will be an advantage to generic drugs. Only restraint for this market is rigid rules 

setup by FDA for approval of these drugs and the threat of counterfeit drugs. 

Generic drugs market is segmented into Biosimilars, Simple generic and Super 

generic. Based on therapeutic drugs, they are further segmented into 

Cardiovascular products, anti-infective products, anti-arthritis drugs, central 

nervous system drugs, anti-cancer drugs, respiratory products, and others. Super 

generics are sold at higher price than their pure generic counterpart. Super 

generics account for 18% of total spending on generic drugs. But biosimilars are 

comparatively cost effective even among generic drugs. Biosimilar drugs is 

expected to have significant growth during the forecast period. Based on 

Geography, this region is further divided in to Japan, China, India, Australia, 

South Korea. There is an untapped market potential in Japan because of presence 

of super generics market.
