Abstract

Biologics continue to outperform the global pharma market, driven by premium priced therapies for conditions that cannot be managed by conventional drugs. The rapid penetration of novel biologics and the gradual expiry of their patents will create significant market opportunities for biosimilars developers through to 2016. In the short term, biosimilar market growth will be driven by drug classes including erythropoietin, filgrastim, human growth hormone (hGH) and insulin. ‘The Top 10 Biosimilars Players: Positioning, performance and SWOT analyses’ is a report published by Business Insights that examines the competitive landscape of the global biosimilars industry. The latest key issues and evolving business models in the biosimilars market are identified and the leading companies in this sector are profiled in detail. This report examines the portfolio sales performances, pipelines and growth strategies of each of the top 10 biosimilars companies. The opportunities and threats facing each of these leading players are also assessed. This report also examines the size, growth and major trends of the global biosimilars industry, in addition to providing to an assessment of leading biosimilars companies outside of the top 10.

Key findings

The global biosimilars market reached $1bn in 2007, representing an increase of 5.9% over 2006. The increasing use of biologics in disease areas such as cancer, auto-immunity and orphan diseases, in addition to healthcare cost containment, has driven this growth.

Novartis (Sandoz) leads the global biosimilars market with a market share of 4.1% and sales of $23m in 1H 2008. The company is expanding its portfolio to exploit the opportunities arising from branded biologics going off-patent in the US and EU.

An estimated $25bn worth of biologics will lose patent protection by 2016, creating a significant market opportunity for biosimilars. Monoclonal Antibodies (mAb) such as Herceptin and Rituxan/Mabthera are among a number of major biologics going off-patent during this period.

Teva is the third largest company in the global biosimilars market, with a share of 2.1% based on sales of $12m in 1H 2008. The company is investing in R&D and manufacturing capabilities to accelerate biosimilar development. The 2008 acquisition of Barr has substantially strengthened its market position, having provided access to Barr’s substantial expertise in the field.

Explore issues including

The safety and efficacy of biosimilars. Technological and manufacturing complexities make it difficult to produce exact replicas of biologics, raising concerns over the safety/efficacy of biosimilars. Such perceptions, combined with an unwillingness to switch from sophisticated branded biologics, mean that the market acceptance of biosimilars is likely to be slow.

The erosion of biosimilar price differentials. The cost of biosimilar development is rising due to regulatory agencies seeking additional clinical studies to ensure patient safety. This is reducing the price advantage of biosimilars against their reference drug. Price discounts are subsequently expected to amount to only 25%-35% initially, due to high costs and limited competition.

Significant regulatory hurdles to overcome. The complex structure of biosimilars demands stringent regulation to ensure patient safety. Europe was the first among regulated pharma markets to create a biosimilars approval pathway in 2006. This legislation provides 10 years of patent protection to biologics against biosimilars and hybrids, and calls for extensive testing to ensure safety. The difference between a similar biological medicinal product and the reference product must be justified with appropriate studies and clinical trials on a case-by-case basis, in addition to post-marketing monitoring.
