    Market Research Overview

    The global pharmaceuticals market encompasses companies involved in the research and development (R&D) or production of various drug categories, including generic drugs, non-generic drugs, and veterinary drugs. According to Technavio, the healthcare market size is determined by the collective revenue generated by manufacturers and providers of medical equipment, supplies, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and life sciences tools and services. The expansion of the pharmaceuticals market is anticipated to be influenced by several key factors, such as the growing geriatric population and increasing healthcare expenditure. With the global population aging, the proportion of individuals over the age of 60 years is projected to surge significantly. By 2050, approximately one-quarter of the US population is estimated to be over 60 years old, while Europe is expected to reach a similar demographic milestone by 2030. This demographic shift is driven by increased life expectancy and declining birth rates. Another significant factor fueling market growth is the rising healthcare expenditure, particularly in chronic disease management and cancer treatment. The escalating prevalence of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer, necessitates the development and production of a wide range of pharmaceutical products. Intravenous drugs and steroids are among the essential therapeutic categories that will witness robust demand due to their role in treating various chronic conditions and supporting the geriatric population's healthcare needs.. Industries are leveraging the products belonging to the market for customer engagement, transactional notifications, and promotional offers.
