Mexico Generic Drug Market Growth Factors

The Mexico generic drug market is largely driven by price. Generic medicines are overall cheaper than their brand-name equivalents, which makes them especially important in Mexico because of its expensive healthcare system. Both patients and physicians view generic medicines as a way to keep the same quality of drug therapy while spending less money on it.

Governmental support through regulatory incentives, drug price controls and incentives for prescribing generic drugs in public healthcare systems has emerged as another major influencing factor for the generic drugs market. These types of policies help to create a favorable environment for generic drug manufacturers and to improve the public's perception and trust in generics.

The healthcare cost increases with an increase in the Mexican population age and increase in chronic diseases. The use of generic drugs has increased due to prescribers who perceive that generic drugs are equal to brand-name drugs. Other factors influencing the generic drug market include increased public awareness and acceptance, and growth of manufacturing infrastructure, which has increased supplies and competition of generics.
