In one sense, the opportunity for follow-on proteins is as good as ever. Some of the biggest-selling biologics developed during the first phase of the biotechnology revolution in the 1980s, including human growth hormone (hGH) and insulin, have lost patent protection or are set to lose patent protection in the US in 2007 and beyond. But there are also regulatory challenges to marketing follow-on biologics in the U.S. that companies will need to navigate to prosper.

In this report, Biogenerics: The World Market for Biosimilars Kalorama has identified key biologic products that are off patent and are either facing development of a generic competitor or are likely in Kalorama's estimate to face biogeneric competition in the future.
