Biosimilars Market : Future Forecast Indicates Impressive Growth Rate

A biosimilar is a biological product that is similar to a reference biologic with no clinically meaningful differences in terms of potency, purity, and safety. 

Global Biosimilars Market is estimated close to $18 Bn (2020) growing at a double-digit rate. The market growth is driven by growing number of biosimilar approvals and rising number biologics going off-patent.

Loss of patent protection for originator brands to drive the biosimilar market growth
A key driver of biosimilar market growth over the next 5-10 years is the number of losses of protection (LoP) events for originator brands. In the US alone, 66 biologic U.S. patents are expiring between 2020 and 2025, owing to which the biosimilar market is on the cusp of a significant boost. Oncology is one of the major therapeutic areas in biosimilars market and by 2023, patents on nearly 20 oncology biologics will expire, which could lead to more biosimilars to enter in oncology space and propelling oncology biosimilars market.

Geographic Snapshot: Biosimilars Market
Europe is the largest market for biosimilars owing to adoption of more liberal policies which has enabled greater market access. On the other hand, US has taken a more protective approach towards originator brands, further influenced by lobbying from pharma companies. Owing to this, the biosimilar adoption is relatively slower in US. However, the US biosimilar landscape is now evolving rapidly. There were 29 biosimilars approved in US compared to 11 in EU in the initial six years. Also, in April 2021, the US signed two bipartisan bills to reduce prescription drug prices by supporting generics/biosimilars. Such developments will fuel the US market growth.

The key players in the global biosimilars market include Amgen, Roche, Sandoz, Dr. Reddy’s, Teva, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Samsung, Biocon, Boehringer, and Mylan.
