Lewes, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/19/2015 -- A generic drug is a pharmaceutical product, usually intended to be interchangeable with an innovator product, that is manufactured without a license from the innovator company and marketed after the expiry date of the patent or other exclusive rights.

Already prevalent in the U.S., Europe and much of the developing world, generic drugs are now finding their way into previously untapped markets such as Japan, largely driven by regulatory efforts to reduce healthcare costs.

Publisher estimates that the market for generic drugs will account for nearly $350 Billion in revenue by the end of 2015. Despite challenges relating to quality control and legal concerns, the market is poised for significant growth in the coming years. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12% between 2015 and 2020, driven by growth in both established and developing markets.

The "Generic Drugs Market: 2015 – 2030 – Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies & Forecasts" report presents an in-depth assessment of the generic drugs ecosystem including technology, economics, key trends, market drivers, challenges, investment potential, regulatory landscape, leading therapies, opportunities, future roadmap, value chain, ecosystem player profiles and strategies.

Key Findings:

The report has the following key findings:

- Generic drugs will account for nearly $350 Billion in revenue by the end of 2015. The market is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 12% over the next five years.

- As the market consolidates, larger players continue to grow their market share on the heels of acquisitions and mergers. Well established players are particularly keen to capitalize on joint ventures in untapped markets such as Japan.
