A new report by visiongain forecasts the world market for biosimilar monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) will reach $4.1bn in 2020. That revenue prediction and others appear in Biosimilar Monoclonal Antibodies Market Forecast 2016-2026: Biosimilar Versions of Infliximab, Rituximab, Trastuzumab, Adalimumab, Bevacizumab and Abciximab. This report is published in February 2016. Visiongain is a business information publisher and consultancy in London, UK.

The analysis predicts the global biosimilar mAb industry and market will continue to grow at a CAGR of 46.96% from 2015-2020, driven by the biosimilar rituximab and infliximab submarkets. In 2015, the biosimilar rituximab submarket held the highest proportion, holding a market share of 47.2%. This submarket will grow at a CAGR of 31.47% from 2015-2020 and 8.78% from 2020-2026. However, the biosimilar infliximab submarket will become the leading submarket by 2018 and remain as such until 2026. It will also be the fastest growing submarket from 2015-2020 with a CAGR of 60.59%. Demand for the market will be fuelled by the discounted price biosimilar mAbs are available for in comparison to their reference products. There is a need for cheaper drugs as healthcare budgets become increasingly strained by growing populations and ageing demographics which are associated with a greater prevalence of cancer, amongst other indications. Robert King, a pharmaceutical industry analyst in visiongain, said: “There will be a number of high profile originator mAb patent expiries over the next three years creating a growing market for biosimilars in the EU and the US. Revenues in these developed markets will be greater than for revenue in emerging markets. This will occur as the cost of therapy and larger target markets will outweigh the relatively slow rate of adoption. The US will not act as a driver for the market until towards the middle of the forecast period, as a result of later patent expiries there for many leading mAb products”.
