Amongst the impending patent cliffs, shrinking drug pipelines and increasing pressure to reduce treatment costs, biosimilars are poised to capture an unprecedented position in the biopharmaceutical industry. Supported by numerous factors including the recent progression in the regulatory landscape, the biosimilars market is witnessing an increased extent of adoption and heightened investment and deal making activity.
Biosimilars have currently attained a small portion of their anticipated future potential. The real commercial prospects lie in the two leading innovator biologics markets, the US and Europe, which account for a major proportion of the global spending on biologics. Europe, with the introduction of regulatory guidance in 2005 and the first biosimilar authorisation in 2006, is well ahead of the US. Till date, there are 16 marketed biosimilar products in Europe. However, in the recent years, the US has witnessed tremendous progression in terms of the advances in the regulatory landscape.
The involvement of generic manufacturers and R&D based pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies has led to the emergence of a diversified competitive marketplace. Realizing the huge commercial prospects, several innovator biotech companies are actively engaged in the development of biosimilars. In addition, this segment has become lucrative for other companies such as Fujifilm and Samsung. The contribution by such players does ensure a fresh inflow of money to fund development programs.
Overall, with the learning curve for biosimilars still evolving, the market offers huge growth opportunities along with demanding requirements in terms of clinical development, manufacturing and marketing authorisation. Driven by an extensive pipeline, contribution of numerous pharmaceutical players and the huge market opportunity likely to unfold in the US and EU, the biosimilars industry is poised to witness an unrivalled market uptake.
