Generic drugs are typically more affordable than their brand-name counterparts. As cost-effectiveness becomes a key consideration for healthcare systems and patients, there is a growing preference for generics, especially in managing chronic conditions. Government-led initiatives to promote the use of generic drugs can significantly influence market trends. Policies that emphasize cost savings, encourage generic substitution, and support the development of a robust generic drugs market contribute to increased demand.
