The oncology biosimilars market was valued at US$ 9.46 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach US$ 24.71 billion by 2031; it is projected to register a CAGR of 12.8% from 2023 to 2031.

Market Insights and Analyst View:

Biosimilars are biopharmaceutical products that closely resemble existing reference biologic drugs in terms of safety, efficacy, and quality but are not identical. Biosimilars such as monoclonal antibodies and supportive agents, including filgrastim, pegfilgrastim, epoetin α, and epoetin ζ, are available to treat various types of cancers. Factors such as a surge in incidences of cancers, the cost-effectiveness of biosimilar drugs, and a rise in the approvals of oncology biosimilars. Additionally, the collaborations among manufacturers for biosimilars and clinical trials are expected to bring new oncology biosimilars market trends in the coming years. However, high-cost involvement and complexities in biosimilar product manufacturing are among the market deterrent factors.

Oncology Biosimilars Market Size and Share – Market Drivers:

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2022, ~20 million new cancer cases and 9.7 million deaths caused by cancer were reported worldwide. Additionally, the latest estimates from WHO’s Global Cancer Observatory indicated that in 2022, 10 different types of cancer accounted for approximately two-thirds of new cancer cases and deaths worldwide. Among these, lung cancer was the most commonly occurring cancer globally, accounting for 2.5 million new cases and 12.4% of the total new cases. Female breast cancer ranked second with 2.3 million cases and 11.6% of the total new cases, followed by colorectal cancer, accounting for 9.6% of the total new cases. Prostate cancer ranked fourth with 1.5 million cases, and stomach cancer ranked fifth with 970,000 cases. The advent of more affordable oncology biosimilars as a medical armamentarium can reduce the burden on healthcare expenditure and improve access to efficient cancer therapies because of their demonstrated safety and efficacy in real-world scenarios, clinical evidence, and physicochemical quality data. For instance, in an article published by the Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) in July 2023, a comparative and descriptive study was performed to evaluate the safety information of biosimilar monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) used in cancer with that of the corresponding reference medicines and assess the post-marketing pharmacovigilance data. The study concluded that there were no significant variations in the safety profiles of bevacizumab, trastuzumab, and rituximab biosimilars and their originators. The results validated the safety equivalency of biosimilars and supported their use as competitive substitutes for biologic originators. Therefore, the growing burden of cancer and increasing deaths due to it creates the need for affordable treatments, which boosts the oncology biosimilars market growth.
