Generic injectables are comparatively cheaper and are widely used by patients who need injections frequently.

Moreover, the rising advancements in the manufacturing processes of these generic drugs such as lyophilization and aseptic processing are enabling generic manufacturers to produce high-quality products, thereby driving the North America generic injectables market growth.

Injectable drugs are known for their faster therapeutic effects as compared to oral drugs due to their higher bioavailability and thus are highly critical for emergency situations.
