Generic drugs are medications created to be the same as an already marketed brand-name drug in dosage form, safety, strength, route of administration, quality, performance characteristics, and intended use. They work in the same way and provide the same clinical benefits as the brand-name medicine. They meet the same high standards of quality and manufacturing and use active ingredients to offer the same benefits as the patent medicines. They can be oral, intravenous, intramuscular, nebulizer, and topical. They are highly cost-effective as the drug manufacturer does not have to duplicate the original clinical trials for effectiveness and safety. They are easily available and patients do not need to investigate far to find alternatives to popular non-generic medicines. As they are usually covered by insurance companies due to their low cost, the demand for generic drugs is rising in Canada.

Canada Generic Drug Market Trends:

At present, the increasing demand for generic drugs among the masses due to the patent expiry of various branded drugs in Canada represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. Besides this, there is a rise in the demand for generic drugs as they are highly affordable on account of lower requirements for research and development (R&D) activities, physician visits, and marketing. This, along with the thriving pharmaceutical industry in Canada, is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, the growing awareness among individuals about the benefits of generic drugs is positively influencing the market. Moreover, governing agencies of Canada are promoting the usage of generic drugs through various mechanisms, such as tax incentives, subsidies, and market access arrangements. They are also organizing campaigns to create awareness among people about the benefits of generic drugs, which is contributing to the growth of the market. Apart from this, the wide availability of generic drugs through offline and online distribution channels is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors in Canada. Additionally, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and arthritis, is strengthening the growth of the market. In line with this, the growing number of hospitals and clinics providing high-quality healthcare facilities to patients in Canada is offering a favorable market outlook.
