DUBLIN, Dec. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Biosimilars: US Payer Insights (2019)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

How do payers view the trends in the sluggish US biosimilar market and what initiatives do they want from pharma? Originator companies are fiercely defending their brands which has slowed new product introductions and limited clinicians' ability to build prescribing confidence with biosimilar products. While payers remain upbeat about biosimilars they are looking to pharma to deliver the evidence of safety and utility to educate and support a cautious clinical community.
