Compounding Pharmacy Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Application (Pain Management, Dermatology, Hormone Replacement Therapy, Oncology), By Service (Ingredient Alteration, Application or Delivery Alteration, Pharmaceutical Dosage Alteration, Filling Supply Shortages), By Route Of Administration (Oral, Topical, Parenteral, Rectal), By Usage (Pediatrics, Geriatrics, Adults, Veterinary) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Compounding is the science of making drugs prescribed by doctors for specific patients with needs that can’t be met by commercially available drugs. The medications are manufactured based on the doctor’s prescription, and the individual ingredients are mixed together as per the suggested dosage form and strength. State boards of pharmacy ensure that these pharmacies follow state regulations for pharmacy practice and the FDA regulates the integrity of the drugs and the active pharmaceutical ingredient from which they are made. The advantage of compounding drugs such as customization according to patient’s needs leading to growing preference, growing number of product launches by the key players in compounding drugs, growing research activities in compounding drugs, and lack of timely availability of standard drugs are some of the factors that are expected to augment the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, In October 2017, Imprimis Pharmaceuticals launched a compounded cyclosporine- based formulation for the treatment of eye disease.
