According to a report by Altus Market Research titled, “Global Biosimilars Market Analysis 2022-2031 by Type(Monoclonal Antibodies; Insulin; Erythropoietin; Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor; Other Hormones); Application(Oncology; Chronic And Autoimmune Diseases; Growth Hormone Deficiency)”, the global biosimilars market size reached a value of nearly $11,418.9 million in 2021, having grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 34.8% since 2016. The market is expected to grow from $11,418.9 million in 2021 to $25,985.2 million in 2026 at a rate of 17.3%. The market is then expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.0% from 2026 and reach $59,555.8 million in 2031.
Growth in the historic period resulted from an increase in cancer prevalence, strong economic growth in emerging markets, an increase in pharmaceutical R&D expenditure, increased healthcare expenditure, growing government initiatives, strong pipeline of drugs, low cost of biosimilars and an increase in patent expiration. Factors that negatively affected growth in the historic period were regulatory changes, low healthcare access, lack of awareness on biosimilars among primary care physicians and specialists, reimbursement challenges, the coronavirus pandemic and low healthcare reimbursements.
Going forward, increasing prevalence of cancer, increasing demand for prophylaxis with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), a rise in healthcare expenditure, high potential of emerging economies, technology advances, high penetration of biological drugs, aging population and an increase in healthcare access will drive the growth. Factors that could hinder the growth of the biosimilars market in the future include high costs of drugs, high cost of drug development with threat of failure, pricing pressures from regulators and insufficient and outdated health system.
The global biosimilars market is concentrated, with a small number of large players in the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up to 76.98% of the total market in 2021. The market concentration can be attributed to the high barriers to entry in terms of high costs associated with the research and development of pegfilgrastim biosimilars and the stringent regulations set up by the regulatory authorities. Going forward the market is expected some fragmentation with the rising number of new entrants. Amgen was the largest competitor with 21.23% of the market, followed by Pfizer with 13.37%, Novartis AG with 10.13%, Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd. with 9.90%, Viatris with 7.37%, Biocon with 3.60%, Celltrion, Inc. with 3.24%, Coherus Biosciences with 4.17%, Elli Lilly and Company with 1.99%, and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories with 1.98%.
