5 Biggest Pharmaceutical ETFs in 2024

The global pharmaceutical market reached a total value of US$1.6 trillion in 2023, according to Statista, up significantly from the US$888 billion seen just over a decade earlier in 2010.

Experienced and novice investors alike may want to consider pharmaceutical exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as a way to gain exposure to the top pharma companies. Like all ETFs, pharmaceutical ETFs are a good option for those who want to trade a set of assets in the pharmaceutical industry instead of focusing solely on individual pharmaceutical stocks.

The main advantage of a pharmaceutical ETF is the fact that it can provide exposure to an overarching sector, but still trades like a stock. Pharma ETFs also offer less market volatility and lower fees and expenses.

Harris vs. Trump: The 2024 US Election, Drug Prices and Healthcare

The exorbitant cost of pharmaceutical drugs in the US has been a contentious issue for years, with the Republican and Democrat parties overtly at odds on the best way to lower drug prices.

Despite the best efforts of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, prescription drug prices are still on the rise. Figures from the US Department of Health and Human Services show a 15.2 percent increase in the cost of prescription drugs from 2022 to 2023, with an average of US$590 per drug.

In the lead up to the 2024 US general election, the pharmaceutical industry is buttering its bread on both sides with nearly equal contributions to both parties. Citing data from OpenSecrets, KFF Health News reported in late August that drug companies had donated US$4.89 million to Democrats’ coffers and US$4.35 million to Republicans.
