Global Biosimilars Market 2014-2018: Patent Expirations and More
M2 - Wed Mar 05, 11:31AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jggmhc/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Biosimilars Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Biosimilars Market to grow at a CAGR of 27.58 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing number of patent expirations. The Global Biosimilars Market has also been witnessing the outsourcing of biosimilar manufacturing. However, the risks related to drug failure could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space include Biocon Ltd., Hospira Inc., Mylan Inc., Novartis AG, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd., F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., 3SBio Inc., and Celltrion Inc. Other vendors mentioned in the report are Actavis plc, Amgen Inc., AstraZeneca plc, Baxter International Inc., Biogen Idec Inc., Bioton S.A., Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH, Cipla Ltd., Coherus Biosciences Inc., Daiichi Sankyo Co. Ltd., Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd., GE Healthcare Ltd., GeneScience Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd., GlaxoSmithKline plc, JCR Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd., iBio Inc., LG Life Sciences Co. Ltd., Merck & Co. Inc., Pfizer Inc., Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd., Samsung Biologics Co. Ltd., Sanofi S.A., and Wockhardt Ltd. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The manufacture of biosimilar products requires specialized capabilities, meticulous planning, highly skilled staff, and significant financial investment in equipment, technology, materials, and personnel. Therefore, the complexities and costs involved in the biosimilar development rises along with the dip in their profit margins, hampering the overall success of manufacturing biosimilar products. Thus, many vendors are increasingly turning to CMOs and CROs that have already gained proficiency in the field of manufacturing biosimilar products. The wealth of knowledge, experience, understanding, technology, skills and financial control that CMOs and CROs can provide to manufacturers, make this a solution that many vendors are using at present. These organizations employ well-trained professionals to develop and validate analytical methods, providing pharmaceutical companies with a feasible way of remaining competitive and financially viable. This new trend is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the market over the next few years.
