Global biosimilars market growth is driven by rising healthcare costs worldwide and the expiration of blockbuster biologics patents. Biosimilars provide affordable treatment options for chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders. These offer significant cost savings as compared to reference biologics. For example, Filgrastim’s biosimilar Zarzio was launched at a 15% lower price compared to original biologic Neupogen. Regulatory approvals for biosimilars have also increased in major markets like the U.S, EU, and Japan following clear guidelines, thus, easing market entry. This has attracted many emerging players to the large and lucrative biosimilars market.
Market Dynamics:
Global biosimilars market growth is driven by factors like rising chronic disease prevalence rates worldwide coupled with limited healthcare budgets. This has boosted demand for lower-cost biosimilar alternatives to biologics. Many blockbusters biologic drugs are expected to lose patent protection over the forecast period 2018-2026, thus, offering potential for biosimilar entrants. For instance, infliximab and adalimumab are among the highest revenue earning biologics that faced biosimilar competition by 2024. Regulatory approvals and product launches, along with marketing expansion activities by major players can drive the market growth.
