present a ‘tried and tested’ template to other biosimilar mAb developers - demonstrating a pathway
to the market and indicating the levels of pre-clinical and clinical data they will require in order to
receive approval from the EMA.
4.3.5 German Biosimilar Market Outlook, 2015
The largest national market for biosimilar revenues in Europe is Germany, accounting for 33.1% of
sales in that region in 2014. Germany has among the highest uptake rates for both biosimilar
filgrastim and biosimilar epoetin alfa in Europe - more than half of prescriptions of each are filled
with biosimilars, we note. This follows the trend from the small molecule drug market, where
Germany has the highest rate of generic drug use in the region.
In Europe, Germany is the country that provides the strongest incentives for prescribing biosimilars
- it has a prescription quota system and sickness funds for biosimilars. The prescription quotas
vary by city, one source reports that EPO quotas are 40% in Berlin but 20% in Hamburg. Analysis
of prescribing data shows that, where quotas exist, rates of uptake tend to outstrip the levels of
these quotas.
While rates of biosimilar use in Germany are high, uptake has been restrained by tendering
processes and the fact that Germany has reference prices, reports suggest. The German generic
drugs association, Pro Generika, reports that in some cases, biosimilars are forced to compete at a
price similar to that of the reference biologic, which cuts the main advantage they hold over the
branded therapy.

Figure 4.9 Spanish Biosimilars Market: Revenue ($bn), 2014-2025
Demand for healthcare cost savings will raise uptake of biosimilars in Spain in the coming ten
years, we believe, driving strong growth in the market. The Spanish biosimilars market was worth
only $0.02bn in 2014, but will exhibit strong growth with a CAGR of 57% to 2019, reaching
revenues of $0.22 in 2019, and $0.64bn in 2025. The CAGR for 2019-2025 will be 20%, and the
