The U.S. pharmacy benefits management market size is projected to reach USD 744.6 billion by 2026, according to a new report by., exhibiting a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period. Increasing vertical integration of key market players, rising prevalence of chronic disease, and shrinking FDA generic-approval backlog are some of the primary growth stimulants for the market.
