世界のジェネリック医薬品の市場規模は、2024年に3,890億米ドルに達しました。今後、IMARC Groupは、2033年までには6,749億米ドルに達し、2025年から2033年の成長率(CAGR)は5.66%になると予測しています。市場を牽引する主な要因は、慢性疾患の増加、ヘルスケアコストの上昇、医薬品特許の失効です。ブランド薬の特許切れにより、より多くのジェネリック医薬品が市場に参入できるようになり、市場の成長を後押ししています。ヘルスケア支出を削減するためにジェネリック医薬品の使用を促進する政府の支援政策も、市場成長にプラスに寄与しています。
ジェネリック医薬品とは、有効成分、剤形、強さ、投与経路、品質、安全性、有効性の点で先発医薬品と生物学的に同等な医薬品です。ジェネリック医薬品には、イブプロフェン、メトホルミン、シンバスタチンなど、さまざまな医薬品が含まれます。先発医薬品の特許保護が切れた後に製造されます。規制当局によって承認され、手頃な価格で入手できます。高血圧、糖尿病、感染症、心血管疾患など、さまざまな健康状態の管理に重要な役割を果たしています。ジェネリック医薬品は、特に包括的な保険に加入していない、あるいは高額な出費に直面している個人にとって、購入しやすい価格を改善する上で不可欠なものです。
先発医薬品の特許切れの増加によるジェネリック医薬品への需要の高まりが、市場の成長を後押ししています。このほか、世界中でヘルスケア・サービスの費用が増加していることも、市場の見通しを良好なものにしています。さらに、心血管疾患、糖尿病、呼吸器疾患など、さまざまな慢性疾患を患う高齢者人口が世界中で増加していることも、市場の成長に寄与しています。これとは別に、さまざまなジェネリック医薬品の生産を増やすために、主要な市場参入企業間の提携が増加していることも、市場の成長を支えています。さらに、製薬業界では、特殊な製剤で複雑なジェネリック医薬品を製造するために、技術的に高度な機器の統合が進んでいることも、市場の成長を後押ししています。
慢性疾患の増加
現在、不健康な生活習慣の増加により、大衆の間で慢性疾患の有病率が増加しています。座りがちなライフスタイルや粗食(加工食品やファストフードの消費増加)は、糖尿病、心臓病、特定のがんなどの慢性疾患の増加に大きく寄与しています。これとは別に、アルコールやタバコの過剰摂取は、高血圧や心血管合併症など、さまざまな慢性疾患の発生を後押ししています。さらに、現代のめまぐるしいライフスタイルの副産物である慢性的なストレスは、心臓病や精神疾患など、多くの健康問題を引き起こす可能性があります。しかし、スクリーニングや診断ツールの充実により、慢性疾患の発見がより良く、より早く、より頻繁に行われるようになっています。さらに、様々なジェネリック医薬品の消費は、患者の幅広い慢性疾患の治療に役立っています。
製薬業界における研究関連活動の拡大
現在、製薬業界では、新興疾患の治療法やワクチンを開発するための研究活動が増加しています。これに加えて、世界中で高齢者人口が増加しているため、医薬品の需要も増加しています。さらに、ゲノミクス、プロテオミクス、バイオインフォマティクスといった最近の動向は、創薬・開発に新たな道を開きつつあります。遺伝子やタンパク質を分子レベルで操作できるようになり、分子・遺伝子レベルでの疾病メカニズムの理解が深まったことで、標的治療薬の開発に道が開かれつつあります。これとは別に、製薬会社は先発医薬品の様々なジェネリック医薬品の製造に投資しており、患者にとって手頃な価格で簡単に入手できるようにしています。
手頃な医療サービスを提供するための政府イニシアチブの増加
各国の政府機関は、ヘルスケアサービスを安価に提供し、さまざまな慢性疾患の治療法を見つけるために多額の投資を行っています。また、医療費助成、薬剤費削減政策の実施、保険適用、公共医療施設やプログラムへの投資など、多くのイニシアチブをとっています。これとは別に、さまざまな国の行政当局は、さまざまな農村部に無料の診療所を建設することで、所得や社会集団の違いによる健康格差の是正に力を入れています。また、これらの診療所では、無料検診とともに、ジェネリック医薬品やその他のさまざまな医薬品を低価格で優先的に提供しています。
世界の高齢者人口の増加と、がん、糖尿病、心血管疾患などの慢性疾患の増加傾向は、市場にプラスの影響を与える主な要因の一つです。また、食生活の変化や多忙なスケジュールが様々な症状を引き起こし、ジェネリック医薬品の需要を世界的に喚起しています。これに加え、ヘルスケアコストの削減やジェネリック医薬品の製造・普及を推進する各国政府の取り組みが活発化していることも、市場の成長に寄与しています。また、主要企業が効果的なジェネリック医薬品を導入し、簡単に入手できるようにすることも後押ししています。これとは別に、ジェネリック医薬品の製造コストが低いことも、市場に明るい見通しをもたらしています。さらに、製薬会社や医療店の世界の拡大が、市場の成長をさらに後押ししています。さらに、新製品を発売するための提携戦略に大手メーカーが注力するようになったことも、市場の成長を後押ししています。さらに、広範な研究開発(R&D)活動への投資の増加や医薬品製剤の技術的進歩が市場を牽引すると予想されています。
