World Market for Biosimilars to 2017: EPO, G-CSF, HGH, Insulin, Interferon alpha, mAbs, Others
M2 - Wed Apr 16, 4:54AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5qb5x5/the_world_market) has announced the addition of the "The World Market for Biosimilars, 4th Edition (EPO, G-CSF, HGH, Insulin, Interferon alpha, mAbs, Others)" report to their offering. The World Market for Biosimilars (EPO, G-CSF, HGH, Insulin, Interferon alpha, Monoclonal Antibodies, Others), predicts a market of nearly $5 billion dollars in the next five years. It's not the first prediction that has been made about the market for generic forms of biopharmaceutical drugs, but according to this report a multi-billion dollar market for biosimilars will arrive in the next five years. The healthcare organization says it's in almost everyone's interest - payors, governments, providers and patients seeking low-cost alternatives to the most expensive and effective therapies. The generic biologic drug market presents many more challenges than the traditional generic market and regulatory restrictions remain. Generic biological drugs are more difficult to produce and a few firms have the expertise. Unlike generics, they are not the exact same as the brand, they have a similar structure and function. Insulin, blood products and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are expected to show the most potential for generic equivalent products with blood products leading in revenues. The EU is the first in the world to have defined a policy and legal framework for biosimilars. Absence of such regulation and biosimilars approval process in other countries, in particular in the United States, can lead to a competitive advantage to the EU biosimilars industry, according to the report. The World Market for Biosimilars (EPO, G-CSF, HGH, Insulin, Interferon alpha, Monoclonal Antibodies, Others).contains predictions of biosimilar markets in certain biologic drug segments, as well as market by regions. The report contains specific forecasts for each type of biopharmaceutical and breaks out forecasts by region. Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2. Introduction And Overview 3. Biosimilar Pharmaceuticals For Expired Biologic Patents 4. Biosimilar Pharmaceuticals For Future Expired Biologic Patents 5. Issues And Trends 6. Market Summary 7.
