The global compounding pharmacies market size is expected to reach USD 18.6 billion by 2030, based on a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is projected to register a CAGR of 5.11% during the forecast period. The market's growth can be attributed to the growing importance of medication adherence and increasing supportive government policies. For instance, in November 2022, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration conducted its 11th intergovernmental meeting to discuss compounding oversight, and efforts to support the Compounding Quality Act (CQA) implementation. Furthermore, the increasing demand for personalized medicine is driving the growth of the market. Compounding pharmacies specialize in creating customized medications based on the unique needs of individual patients.
Children and older adults often require medications in unique strengths or alternative dosage forms due to their specific age-related needs. Compounding pharmacies can tailor medications to meet the specific requirements of these populations, such as formulating liquid suspensions for easier administration or adjusting dosages based on body weight. The COVID-19 pandemic slightly impacted the market in the initial phase. The market recovered at the start of 2021 as patients suffering from chronic diseases could not acquire their medications due to government lockdowns in various nations and the closure of pharmacy stores in some nations. Several compounding pharmacies began offering a simple and secure method for consumers to deposit their compound prescriptions online and receive medicine at their door, which, in turn, increased the demand during the pandemic.
