The global Biosimilar Insulin market size is predicted to grow from US$ 3673 million in 2025 to US$ 8378 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.7% from 2025 to 2031.
Biosimilar insulin is a biological copy of an original insulin and there is increasing interest in developing and using them. Biosimilar insulins (hereafter called biosimilars or follow-on biologics) are designed to be highly similar to the original, or reference, insulin product described in a patent. They are analogous to generic versions of small-molecule drugs and are developed by companies other than the reference product's patent holder. Producers of biosimilars use manufacturing techniques that are similar, but likely not identical to, those used by the original patent holder. Thus, although a biosimilar and its reference insulin product will have the same amino acid sequence, they may differ slightly in their more subtle molecular characteristics and clinical profiles.
The biosimilar insulin market is primarily driven by the growing demand for affordable diabetes management solutions. As the prevalence of diabetes continues to rise globally, especially in emerging markets, there is an increasing need for cost-effective alternatives to branded insulin products. Biosimilar insulins offer similar therapeutic effects as their originator counterparts but at a lower price, making them more accessible to patients and healthcare systems. Additionally, the expiration of patents for several major insulin products has opened the door for the introduction of biosimilars, further driving market growth. The increasing adoption of biosimilars in both developed and developing countries is expected to continue, as they help reduce the financial burden on healthcare systems while maintaining high standards of care.
However, the biosimilar insulin market faces challenges related to regulatory approval processes and market acceptance. Biosimilars, although similar in composition, are not identical to their reference biologics, leading to concerns over safety and efficacy, particularly in long-term use. Regulatory bodies require rigorous testing and clinical trials to ensure that biosimilar insulins meet the necessary standards, which can delay their entry into the market. Furthermore, the market is also challenged by resistance from healthcare professionals and patients who may be hesitant to switch from branded to biosimilar insulin due to unfamiliarity or perceived risks. Additionally, competition from other diabetes therapies, such as oral medications and innovative insulin delivery devices, could also impact the growth of the biosimilar insulin market.
