Key Segments Overview

By Molecule Type

The pharmaceutical sector was led by conventional drugs (small molecules), which contributed 54% of the overall revenue share. Small-molecule drugs will still be the backbone of the pharmaceutical industry because they are of a lower cost, couples readily to a straightforward manufacture process, and a variety of diseases have well-established treatment plans for them. These medicines are especially useful for chronic diseases and infectious diseases. Nonetheless, we are also seeing a gradual transition to biologics and biosimilars, as they are very effective in treating complex diseases, including cancer and autoimmune diseases. Over the forecast period, biologics products like monoclonal antibodies and gene therapies are anticipated to gain considerable traction owing to their targeted therapeutic models and capacity to cover previously untreatable conditions.

By Product

In 2023, the branded segment accounted for the largest share 66% due to the high demand for patented drugs and innovative therapies. Branded pharmaceuticals are often associated with advanced R&D, rigorous clinical trials, and strong marketing strategies, which contribute to their premium pricing and market dominance. Nevertheless, the segment of generic drugs is also growing fast, especially in emerging markets, thanks to their low price and many blockbuster drugs going off patent. The biosimilars segment is proving to be a significant growth, providing more affordable options for patients needing expensive biologics and increasing patient access to advanced treatment.

By Type

In 2023, the prescription drugs segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 88%, owing to the high dependence on prescribed drugs for treating chronic and acute diseases. These medications are necessary to treat some complex diseases for which the use of specialized medical supervision is required. Even though the over-the-counter (OTC) drugs market is growing with significant growth rate, it is growing fast because of their easy accessibility and increased self-medication for minor ailments. The growing number of over-the-counter drugs for allergy management, pain relief, and gastroenteritis is anticipated to increase segment growth during the forecast period.

By End Market

In 2023, hospitals led the end-user segment with 53% share of total market revenue. Hospitals are the main site of comprehensive treatment for acute and chronic illness, which requires a constant supply of pharmaceuticals. The increasing cases of hospital admissions as well as the rising healthcare infrastructure in developing regions also drive the demand for pharmaceutical products. Retail pharmacies and online pharmacies also play an important role as end-users, while the online pharmacy end-user type is witnessing rapid growth thanks to home delivery and growing e-commerce platform adoption.
