Drug discovery & development is a costly and high-risk process that takes a long time. A new proposed drug needs to go through several clinical trials to be finally approved for sale and used for treatment. As per Biotechnology Innovation Organization statistics, about 63% of drugs are successful in the Phase I transition. Phase II has the lowest transition success rate of about 30% owing to failure during clinical trials while Phase III has the second lowest transition success rate of nearly 58%. Even after several efforts by researchers, drugs fail clinical test approvals. High occurrences of drug failure favor the compounding pharmacies industry expansion.

Consumer perception towards compounded drugs is a major factor restraining market growth. Burgeoning safety issues of compounded drugs owing to public health incidents prevent patients from their consumption. For instance, the fungal meningitis outbreak affected several patients on receipt of contaminated preservative-free medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) steroid injections from the New England Compounding Centre. Nonetheless, growing awareness of the effectiveness of compounded medication will encourage market players to expand their product portfolios. However, growing consumer preference for personalized medicine, often known as precision medicine, will fuel compounding pharmacies market growth.

In such scenarios, compounding pharmacies play an essential role to provide medications to patients in absolute need of these medications. The currently unavailable pharmaceutical manufacturing segment was valued at over USD 2.5 billion in 2021 and is set to grow massively in the coming years.

The companies are engaging in profitable collaborations with healthcare companies and focusing on providing an extended range of customized drugs to grow in the industry.

According to the CEO of IACP (International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists), the role of compounding pharmacists widened tremendously, such as ensuring the continuous availability of drugs for patients. For instance, FDA issued a guidance policy regarding the compounding of certain drugs for hospitalized patients by Federal facilities and State-licensed pharmacies, including health system and hospital pharmacies, which are not registered with the FDA as outsourcing facilities for the duration of the public health emergency, due to shortage of drugs required for patient treatment.
