The US compounding pharmacies market serves a vital role in healthcare because it can create medicines with dosing strengths, dosage forms, and allergen-free formulations necessary for individual needs.

Compounding pharmacies help various medical specialties, not only dermatology, pediatrics, and oncology when solutions are either not available on the market or not appropriate for certain patient populations. While regulatory oversight by bodies like the FDA boats safety and quality, it also poses a plethora of issues—including that of regulatory compliance and insurance coverage—that affect the dynamics of the market. Despite these challenges, the compounding pharmacies market continues to rise as there is an increasing trends toward more individualized treatment in the US.
Specialized pharmacies compound and customize medicines are centers that offers prescribed medicines suggested by healthcare providers to suit a patient's unique needs. These pharmacies fulfill a critical health service when it comes to the compounding of a prescription, in terms of dosage forms and some agents, that particularly do not contain certain allergens or other additives that are chemicals, which perhaps are available in a commercial drug, but to which the patient may have sensitive issues. Such individualization aids to fill an individual's needs that are difficult to fulfill with standard mass-produced formulations.
The demand for individualized medication is only a continuation of this trend in health care that posits the individual needs and characteristics of patients. Sometimes mass-produced medications do not meet specific needs, for changing dosage, leaving out certain allergens, avoiding certain types of additives, etc., all of which compounded medications can satisfy. Patients suffering from allergies to the base components of commonly available medications or patients requiring dosages that are often not commercially available benefit greatly from such formulations.
In addition, recent medical knowledge and diagnostics have shown the extent to which varied responses by patients to the standardized treatment procedure urge the need for personalized drug formulation. This trend is being pushed by the ever-increasing awareness of patients and healthcare providers about efficacy in treatment and comfort, which has subsequently led to increased demand for personalized medicine and an increasing market share for compounding pharmacies in the offerings of various forms of healthcare.

Each state can independently determine its regulations regarding the guidelines for compounding procedures: from licensing requirements to setting the guidelines for compounding procedures in a sterile environment.

For instance, the cost of being compliant, which involves investment in facilities, installations, and constancy in training, can be high, especially for smaller preparations of pharmacies. Apart from the operational burdens, such regulatory complexities impact the cost-free structures and competitiveness within the market.
