Analyst Perspective

The major factors driving the growth of the biosimilars market are the growing incidence of chronic diseases, such as cancers, along. The growing burden of cancer and increasing deaths due to it creates the need for affordable treatment and thus boosts the growth of the biosimilars market. The key market players also anticipated market growth over the forecast period through various strategic activities, such as product launches, mergers, and acquisitions. An increase in the prevalence of autoimmune diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis drives the growth of the Biosimilars Market Size. For instance, according to a paper published in “Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology,” in 2020, titled ‘Prevalence of ankylosing spondylitis in Spain,’ about 7.3% population showed positive screening for ankylosing spondylitis. Biosimilars, such as infliximab-axxq (Avsola), infliximab-qbtx (Ixifi), infliximab-dyyb (Inflectra), and infliximab-abda (Renflexis) are used for the treatment of chronic pain in arthritis.

Market Overview

A biosimilar is a biological medicine highly similar to another already approved biological medicine (the 'reference medicine'). Biosimilars are approved according to the same standards of pharmaceutical quality, safety, and efficacy that apply to all biological medicines.Biosimilars are safe and effective treatment options for many illnesses, such as chronic skin and bowel diseases (like psoriasis, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, and colitis), arthritis, kidney conditions, and cancer. Biosimilars increase access to lifesaving medications at potentially lower costs. The primary drivers of the biosimilars market are increasing incidence of chronic diseases.

Regional Analysis

The North America biosimilars market was valued at US$ 5,479.84 million in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 47,746.80 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 37.3% during the forecast period. The North America biosimilars market is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The US held the largest share of the North American biosimilars market in 2019. increasing incidence of diabetes, infertility as well as rising product development in biosimilars market. According to NIH Autoimmune Diseases Coordinating Committee, in 2019, more than 24 million Americans suffer from autoimmune diseases. Eight million people have auto-antibodies, blood molecules that indicate a person's risk of developing autoimmune diseases. For unknown reasons, autoimmune diseases are affecting more people. According to the Clinical Research Branch at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), in 2020, there is a significant increase in the prevalence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA), the most common biomarker of autoimmunity in the US. The study is the first to evaluate ANA changes in a representative sampling of the US population over time. It includes males, non-Hispanic whites, adults over 50, and adolescents. In the US, biosimilars are used to treat patients with cancers, kidney diseases, diabetes, and other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease. According to Cardinal Health, a total of 33 biosimilars have been approved by the FDA in the US and 21 are commercially available. Of the 21 biosimilars on the market, 17 are used for treatments associated with cancers, three are used to treat autoimmune conditions and one is used to treat diabetes.

Biologics are the most expensive medicines in the US with costs totaling tens of thousands of dollars each year per patient. Biosimilars are expected to be priced 15% to 30% lower than their reference product. In 2020 alone, biosimilars saved US$ 7.9 billion, with savings expected to grow significantly in the next few years as more biosimilars enter the market. According to Cardinal Health, it is expected that biosimilars are expected to reduce US drug expenditure by US$ 133 billion by 2025.
