U.S. Pharmaceutical Market to Grow with a CAGR of 5.62% through 2030

Rising Prevalence of Chronic and Lifestyle Diseases and Aging Population and Increased Life Expectancy are expected to drive the U.S. Pharmaceutical Market growth in the forecast period, 2026-2030

According to TechSci Research report, “U.S. Pharmaceutical Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the U.S. Pharmaceutical Market stood at USD 634.30 Billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 5.62% in the forecast period.

The U.S. pharmaceutical sector is undergoing a notable transformation, marked by a wave of biopharmaceutical innovation that includes mRNA platforms, gene therapies, targeted biologics, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and precision medicine. The United States remains at the forefront of global drug development, underpinned by a strong intellectual property framework, robust venture capital investment, and a progressive regulatory environment. Accelerated approval mechanisms such as the FDA’s Fast Track, Breakthrough Therapy, and Priority Review programs have significantly reduced time-to-market for high-impact therapies, enhancing pipeline productivity and competitive differentiation.

The U.S. continues to outpace all other nations in per capita healthcare spending, with a substantial share directed toward pharmaceuticals. Broader insurance penetration via private insurers, Medicare, and Medicaid has facilitated widespread access to prescription medications. Additionally, high reimbursement rates, particularly for branded and specialty drugs, are reinforcing strong revenue generation across therapeutic segments. This access-to-payment alignment remains a critical engine of market growth.

The market is increasingly oriented toward specialty drugs, particularly those addressing oncology, autoimmune disorders, rare genetic diseases, and inflammatory conditions. These therapies are characterized by high clinical complexity and limited therapeutic alternatives, enabling premium pricing and strong payer uptake. Regulatory incentives under the Orphan Drug Act continue to catalyze innovation in underserved disease areas, offering tax credits, market exclusivity, and expedited reviews that encourage sustained investment in niche, high-value pipelines.

Despite its strengths, the U.S. pharmaceutical industry faces growing headwinds tied to supply chain fragility and limited domestic production capacity: A significant proportion of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and key raw materials are imported predominantly from China and India creating exposure to geopolitical risk, trade restrictions, and export controls. The U.S. also suffers from a shortage of domestic manufacturing infrastructure, particularly for sterile injectables and biologics, which require capital-intensive facilities and strict compliance with FDA cGMP standards. These constraints have contributed to an increase in drug shortages, especially for essential therapies such as antibiotics, oncology agents, and anesthetics. Disruptions are often linked to single-source dependencies, quality control lapses, and lean inventory models that lack resilience under stress.
