U.S. Compounding Pharmacies Market Size, 2016-26 (USD Mn)

U.S. Compounding Pharmacies Market, 2016-26

The oral medications segment dominated the U.S. compounding pharmacies market in the year 2018

The oral medications segment dominated the market in 2018 with a share of 39.6% and is expected to account a share of 33.5% in 2026. High demand for easy to administer dosage forms such as capsules, oral liquids and granules will drive the growth of the segment.

Growing healthcare awareness and oral medication being the most preferred route of administration is projected to fuel demand for oral medications over the forecast period. Patients suffering from severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) makes the use of oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) less desirable. The market for oral medications is growing at a lucrative rate, however, patent expiration & stiff competition from generic brands is giving a tough competition to its growth.

The pharmaceutical ingredient alteration segment dominated the  U.S. compounding pharmacies market in the year 2018

The pharmaceutical ingredient alteration segment is anticipated to grow with the highest CAGR of 5.9% over the forecast period, followed by Pharmaceutical Ingredient Alteration (5.8%), Currently Unavailable Pharmaceutical Manufacturing (5.4%) and Others (4.0%).

Pharmaceutical ingredient alteration is done in order to meet the requirements of the patients. In some cases, some patients are allergic to a preservative or dye in a manufactured product for which compounding pharmacists can prepare a dye-free or preservative-free dosage form. To satisfy a specific patient need and ensure patient adherence, doctors prescribe a commercially available drug in a different dosage form. Most pediatric patients are nonadherent because their medications are salty, but when the medicine is flavored to their taste, they start taking medications as per the prescription.
