Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

A biosimilar is a generic counterpart of a well-known biologic medicine. Medications made from living substances such as cells, tissues, or proteins are known as biologic drugs. A biosimilar is a medication that is based on a biologic drug that has already been studied, produced, clinically tested for safety and effectiveness, and authorized by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Since the biosimilar is based on the approved drug, the biologic medications are commonly referred to as reference drugs. The functions of biosimilar are same as the reference drugs and it is dependent to FDA approval.

Oncology Biosimilars Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rise in the prevalence of cancer

The surging prevalence of cancer is a major factor driving the oncology biosimilars market's growth rate during the forecast period of 2022-2029. Cancer is a lifestyle disease caused by abnormal cell proliferation that can lead to the formation of a tumor. Biological medications, often known as biologics, are used in the majority of effective cancer treatments nowadays, including targeted therapies and immunotherapies. These medications are derived from living creatures such as bacteria, animal or plant cells, yeast and they require complicated manufacturing techniques and a long development time. The development of biosimilars of branded cancer biologics is gaining popularity as a way to reduce treatment costs.

• Growing number of government initiatives

The rising initiatives by government is expected to expand the oncology biosimilars market. Additionally, Biosimilars are being promoted by governments in a number of nations as a cost-cutting solution. The United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), for instance, has created educational materials for physicians and patients on biosimilars.

Furthermore, sedentary lifestyle of people and surging geriatric population will result in the expansion of oncology biosimilars market. Along with this, rising healthcare expenditure and increasing demand for biosimilar drugs due to their cost-effectiveness will enhance the growth rate of the market.

Opportunities

• Increase in the number of research and development activities      

The rising number of research and development activities for new indications and patent expiry of biologics is estimated to create new opportunities for the oncology biosimilars market growth in coming years. The players are investing in these research activities in order to test different formulas and increase revenue. The competitors also engage in strategic alliances, which aid in significantly affecting the oncology biosimilars market's growth rate.

Moreover, rising investment for the development of advanced technologies and increase in the number of emerging markets will further provide beneficial opportunities for the oncology biosimilars market growth during the forecast period.

Restraints/Challenges

COVID-19 Impact on Oncology Biosimilars Market

The COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent lockdown in numerous countries around the world had a huge impact on the financial status of enterprises in all sectors. The private healthcare sector is one of the areas where the pandemic had a significant impact. The coronavirus pandemic had a significant influence on medicine development, production, and supply, as well as on the businesses of different healthcare corporations around the world. The outbreak has resulted in the shutdown of industrial establishments, with the exception of those that manufacture critical commodities, and disruptions in product supply chains. As a result, the COVID-19 outbreak had impacted the economy in by causing supply chain channel disruptions, and having a financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to supply chain concerns, the pandemic also harmed generic manufacturers, who supply the majority of market volume. This is predicted to slow down output. However, in the short run, this could raise drug prices. In addition, the innovative medicine producers are likely to cover the supply gap, resulting in a lesser overall market impact.

Recent Development

• In December 2020, Amgen had received United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) approval of RIABNI (rituximab-arrx). RIABNI (rituximab-arrx) is a biosimilar to rituximab which is used for the treatment of adult patients suffering from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Wegener's granulomatosis and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA).
