Biosimilars and Follow-On Biologics: World
Industry and Market Prospects 2014-2024
2.2.5 Biosimilars Market Restraints, 2014-2024
The main restraints for growth in the global biosimilars market for the period 2014-2024 are
identified in Figure 2.9. Although there are many new biosimilars in development, most companies
are chasing the same targets, notably high-revenue mAbs. Not all biosimilars currently in
development are likely to be approved but the more that are, the more fragmented biosimilar
markets will become. Thus far, where multiple biosimilars have been launched for one target, one
biosimilar tends to dominate, with other achieving steadier uptake and revenue growth. Emerging
markets will continue to be the most fragmented for biosimilar revenues, we believe, given the
lower barriers to market entry and higher rates of approval.
The launch of novel biologics targeting similar indications and patient populations will act as a
slight restraint on the biosimilars market. Although novel therapies, including biologics offering
advantages in convenience, safety and efficacy over current biopharmaceutical therapies, will be
priced significantly higher than biosimilars, in less cost-conscious markets payers will be willing to
reimburse these treatments in place of biosimilars. Biosimilars must also compete with novel small
molecule therapies that offer oral administration and improved efficacy over standard biological
therapies. In the interferons market, for example, development of biosimilars for developed
There are many stakeholders that must be convinced of
the value of biosimilars, their safety and efficacy. Doctors,
patients and payers all need to be persuaded to use the
still high-cost follow-on therapies
Companies will protect lead assets through lifecycle
management, patent litigation and next-generation
therapy development
Opportunities for automatic biosimilar substitution are
limited in most markets in 2014 and will be for the
foreseeable future
Revenue for individual biosimilars remains low. Few
products achieve revenue over $0.10bn

Biosimilars and Follow-On Biologics: World
Industry and Market Prospects 2014-2024
5.5.2 Biosimilar Infliximab: Revenue Forecast 2014-2024
In 2014, biosimilar infliximab revenues will be low, stemming from sales in South Korea, Canada
and small European submarkets. In that year, Hospira and Celltrion’s biosimilars - and their
partners’ brands - will achieve combined revenue of $0.03bn. This will rise rapidly from 2015
onwards, following launches in further international markets, including across the EU and in Japan.
Remicade achieved revenue of a little over $2bn in the EU during 2013. However, the largest
national submarket by far for the drug is the US. Visiongain forecasts that biosimilars will launch
there from 2018 onwards, driving revenue growth for biosimilar infliximab in the second half of the
forecast period. By 2018, revenue for infliximab biosimilars will total $0.69bn, having grown with a
CAGR of 133.2% since 2013.
Celltrion and its various commercialisation partners will experience limited biosimilar competition
for infliximab in the first half of the forecast period. We believe that only Epirus Biopharmaceuticals
and Pfizer have clinical programmes targeting the US and EU markets in 2014. These biosimilars
will not launch there until after 2016 though, meaning that Inflectra and Remsima will be the only
biosimilars available in most markets in the first half of the period 2014-2024. Biosimilar
competition in the second half of the period will result in falling prices, we predict, although the
launch of biosimilars has thus far not had a significant impact on Remicade’s price. By 2024,
revenue for infliximab biosimilars will total $1.71bn (Table 5.12 and Figure 5.8).

showed comparability to Neupogen in 120 breast cancer patients in the pivotal phase III trial, Stada
announced that it would launch the drug in 2014.
In 2013, visiongain predicts that EU revenues accounted for 74.1% of the global biosimilar G-CSF
submarket, driven by high uptake in leading Western European countries, including the UK and
Germany. In 2013, there were no revenues for biosimilar filgrastim in the US, we believe, as
patents protecting Neupogen there did not expire until November of that year. Then, under
agreement with Amgen, Teva launched its biosimilar - approved through the standard BLA
pathway - under the name Granix.
