U.S. Compounding Pharmacies Market was valued at USD 6 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% to reach USD 10.8 billion by 2034. This growth is driven by the increasing demand for personalized medications, particularly among pediatric and geriatric populations who may require allergen-free or tailored formulations. Additionally, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and endocrine disorders is contributing to the need for customized treatment options. Compounding pharmacies play a crucial role in addressing drug shortages by providing alternative formulations of medications that are in limited supply.
Their ability to create products that are not commercially available or customizable is shifting them from the background to the forefront of healthcare services. The growing recognition of these pharmacies is further supported by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, expanding the market as they demand long-term adherence to treatment protocols with precise dosages, making compounded medications a suitable solution.
The non-sterile segment led the market in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% between 2025 and 2034. Non-sterile dosage forms include medicines taken orally, such as pills and liquids, or topical applications like creams and ointments. The rising demand for such dosage forms will boost the compounding pharmacies market and propel segmental growth.
Additionally, non-sterile formulations are subject to less strict regulatory requirements, making them more accessible for 503A pharmacies operating under state pharmacy boards. As the incidence of chronic conditions, geriatric care needs, and lifestyle-related conditions continues to rise, the non-sterile segment is well-positioned to sustain its leading role in the U.S. compounding pharmacy landscape.
The oral segment dominated the market in 2024 with a market share of 33.1%. Increasing demand for oral compounded medications can be attributed to several benefits associated with the oral dosage form, such as self-administration, convenience, and pain-free. The availability of several medications in oral form, such as solid preparations that include capsules, tablets, powders, and liquid preparations like syrups and suspensions, compared to other dosage forms, fuels the segmental growth. Moreover, a higher preference for oral compounded medications in children and the geriatric population further drives the oral segment market growth.
