Market Report I 2023-02-01 I 75 Pages I TechSci Research
UAE generic drugs market is anticipated to register growth with an impressive CAGR in the forecast period, 2023-2027, on the account of surging demand for affordable healthcare services. Increasing demand for medicines and drugs for chronic patients exposed to prolonged medication further demand generic drugs over branded drugs, thereby driving the growth of the UAE generic drugs market in the upcoming five years. Easier FDA approvals for generic drugs also support the growth of the UAE generic drugs market in the next five years.
Generic drugs are medicines that have the same active ingredients, same safety standards, are equally effective, and are of high quality as much as the branded drugs but are much cheaper than the branded drugs. The dosage, therapeutic activity, administration, and formulation of the generic drug are the same as the branded drugs. The major difference between the two is the cost of drugs and inert ingredients that give the drug its color, shape, or taste. Once the patent of the branded drug expires, generic drug manufacturers duplicate the chemical formulas of the branded drug to manufacture a generic drug. Manufacturing and patient use do not require extensive clinical trials to prove safety and efficiency. If the molecule formula and safety standards are followed during the manufacturing the drug is soon released in the market thus making the manufacturing process cost-efficient and thus the low prices of the drugs. Examples of generic drugs include "metformin". Metformin is a generic drug for the branded drug, "Glucophage" which is used for diabetes. Similarly, "metoprolol" is used for hypertension instead of "Lopressor".
Growing Pharmaceutical Industry Promises Market Growth
The UAE pharmaceutical industry is expanding rapidly due to surging demands for pharmaceutical products, increasing imports of pharmaceuticals to satisfy the surging demands as well as increased manufacturing of generic drugs by local manufacturers that further drives the growth of the UAE generic drugs market in the upcoming five years. According to government sources, the demand for pharmaceuticals in Dubai region alone would exceed 5 million, further, expansion is also expected due to the overall increasing population all over the country.
The pharmaceutical manufacturing landscape in UAE has been dominated by generic drug manufacturers and contract manufacturing organizations (for medical therapeutics). Although global giants are penetrating the market large number of manufacturing units for branded drugs are not yet flooding the country. The market players have made Dubai a regional hub due to a favorable tax environment, well-developed infrastructure, and a bustling labor force.
Increasing Chronic Diseases Instances Drive Market Growth
Increasing instances of chronic diseases like cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, etc. further drive the growth of the UAE generic drugs market in the upcoming five years. Due to cardiovascular diseases over 40% of deaths are caused every year in the UAE. Demands for the drugs for a prolonged period due to chronic conditions of the diseases further support the growing demand for generic drugs to reduce the treatment costs of the diseases. By the year 2021, the country had 6176 generic drugs being manufactured that cost less than 60% than the branded medicines making healthcare much more h affordable for the common population. The country had 16 factories ithe n medical and pharmaceutical industry and three others for intravenous fluids, laboratories, and medical supplies in 2021 and the count is increasing further. The government is also investing in outpatient healthcare services that aid the market, the value of UAE outpatient healthcare expenditure in 2020 was USD7.41 billion.
