![](/report_cover/2534/brazil-generic-drug-market-industry-trends-share-size-growth-forecast-n-opportunity-2018-2023_en.gif)
The Brazil generic drug market size reached US$ 21.0 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 38.2 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7% during 2024-2032.
Since the introduction of generic drugs in 2001, Brazil’s pharmaceutical industry has undergone a transformation. Generic drugs have been continuously gaining market share and currently account for a significant share of the total pharmaceutical market in Brazil. According to estimates, around BRL 2 Billion worth of branded drugs are expected to lose patent protection during the next five years. The high potential of generic drugs is also driven by the fact that despite strong growth in recent years, the penetration of generics still remains low compared to mature markets such as Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, etc. These factors along with a rising ageing population, increasing prevalence of life style diseases and the significant cost savings achieved from the use of generic drugs are expected to drive this market in the coming years.
