Biosimilars market global industry analysis by 2020 explored in latest researchPosted by Niranjan Petkar on October 17th, 2019 According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, Biosimilars/Follow-On-Biologics - Market Opportunities, and Forecast, 2014-2020, the global Biosimilars/Follow-On-Biologics market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 49.1% from 2015 to 2020. Europe would continue to dominate the market while Asia Pacific would emerge as fastest growing region over the forecast period. Recent approval of Zarxio (filgrastim-sndz) as first biosimilar by U.S. FDA has opened new opportunities for biosimilar manufactures. Patents for number of blockbuster bio-pharmaceuticals have either expired or are on the verge of expiration, which is majorly driving the growth of biosimilars industry. Changes in regulatory guidelines and convenient biosimilar drug approval processes have a major impact on the commercial growth of global biosimilars market. However, the high investment associated with research and development, longer development processes and requirements of economies of scale for profitability largely limit the growth of biosimilars market. The integration of developmental plan with regulatory guidelines and the adoption of optimal commercial strategies would play crucial role in commercial growth of biosimilars market. Glycosylated proteins namely, erythropoietin and monoclonal antibodies are the leading biosimilar segments commercially available across the globe, together accounting for about one-third of the market revenue in 2014. This significant hold in the market is chiefly due to its large application in the treatment of chronic conditions such as blood related disorders, cancer, among others. Key findings of the study:
European region is the leading beneficiary of biosimilars market and is attracting investors, interested in biosimilars industry. The prospects in the European region are largely supplemented by the presence of streamlined regulatory guidelines and a high level of adoption for biosimilars among physicians. The establishment of favourable regulations such as Article 10(4) of Directive 2001/83/EC by the European Medical Association (EMA) has clarified the clinical aspect of biosimilars. This standard set by EMA has attracted investors to invest into the development of biosimilars. The Asia-Pacific region projects the fastest growth rate, supplemented by the high prevalence of chronic diseases and the growing demand for economic bio-pharmaceuticals. The commercial scenario of biosimilars in North America is bleak due to the absence of regulations for approval and commercialization. However, after the launch of the first biosimilar in United States, the investors are now focusing on this region to boost their prospects. Like it? Share it!More by this author |
