Global Biosimilars Market 2014-2018: 10 Companies Dominate this Lucrative Industry
M2 - Tue May 06, 4:08AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jsnl6q/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Biosimilars Market 2014-2018: 10 Companies Dominate this Lucrative Industry" report to their offering. One of the main drivers in this market is the increasing number of patent expirations. A number of biopharmaceutical patents are due to expire in the near future or have already expired. This has helped propel the growth of vendors in the Global Biosimilars market. Some of the blockbuster drugs that are expected to lose patent expiry are Remicade, Humira, and Rituxan. 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. Further, the report states that one of the key challenges in the market is the risks related to drug failure. Vendors face a high level of risk due to the huge investments involved in the development stage and the possible failure of drugs when launched. Key questions answered in this report: - What will the market size be in 2016/2018 and what will be the growth rate? - What are key market trends? - What is driving this market? - What are the challenges to market growth? - Who are the key vendors in this market space? - What are the market opportunities and threats faced by key vendors? - What are the strengths and weaknesses of each of these key vendors? 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. - 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.
