The U.S. generic injectables pharmaceutical contract manufacturing market size is expected to reach USD 5.59 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The U.S. market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 10.8% from 2025 to 2030. Key factors driving the growth of this market are the rising frequency of patent expirations for blockbuster drugs, streamlined regulatory pathways, low cost of generics, and increasing penetration of CDMOs in the generic injectables space.
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the supply chain market and its management, including the U.S. generic injectables pharmaceutical contract manufacturing sector. The conduction of clinical trials for new generic injectables has been modified or delayed due to pandemic-related safety concerns and restrictions, potentially impacting the development timeline. Furthermore, several pharmaceutical companies pivoted their production capacities to manufacture COVID-19 vaccines, significantly impacting the production timelines and capacity for other pharmaceuticals, including generic injectables.
The increasing number of patent expirations for biologic injectables is a key factor contributing to the growth of the generic injectables market in the country. For instance, as per the U.S. FDA, the blockbuster injectable drug Humira, developed by AbbVie Inc. that treats the symptoms of Crohn’s disease, arthritis, plaque psoriasis, and Ankylosing Spondylitis, has lost its patent in 2023. This expiration has paved the way for introducing its generic counterpart, adalimumab. The rising demand for generics owing to their cost-effectiveness is another significant factor contributing to the growth of the U.S. market for generic injectables pharmaceutical contract manufacturing.
