Biosimilars and Biologics

Innovator biologics have no doubt proven efficacy, safety and have contributed to several unmet medical needs, however high costs and affordability of these drugs cannot be discounted. As the patents and exclusivity for many biologics are expiring, this has created the huge opportunity for the development and approval of biosimilars for many biopharmaceutical players including innovator generics and biotech companies. The Global Biosimilars market is expected grow at 23 % CAGR over 2017-2023, from USD 4.10 Billion in 2017 to USD 14.23 billion by 2023.

The emerging biosimilar products are recombinant blood products, therapeutic proteins, vaccines, growth hormones, biosimilar peptides, therapeutic proteins, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) etc. Biosimilar insulins are the most expected ones in the class to enter the biosimilar landscape as patents for major branded insulin products start to expire in the next few years.
