UAE Biosimilars Market Executive Summary

The UAE biosimilars market size was valued at $96 Mn in 2022 and is estimated to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.2% from 2022 to 2030 and will reach $510 Mn in 2030. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) offers a sophisticated healthcare system with first-rate facilities and cutting-edge medical technology. The government offers free or inexpensive healthcare services to its inhabitants and residents, and the private sector meets the requirements of those who can afford to pay for private medical treatments. The country's healthcare system is a hybrid of the public and private sectors. The UAE government has made considerable investments in the healthcare industry over the years and is dedicated to offering top-notch services to its inhabitants and citizens. The government's spending on healthcare has been rising rapidly, and in 2021 it was projected to total around USD 16.7 billion. This accounts for a considerable amount of the nation's GDP, demonstrating how important it is to the government that its citizens have access to quality healthcare services.

In recent years, the UAE healthcare industry has seen a growth in the use of biosimilars as regulators and healthcare providers seek to expand access to reasonably priced biologic medicines. The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) is in charge of the UAE's thorough regulatory framework for biosimilars. This framework, which is based on the rules established by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), demands that biosimilars show resemblance to the reference product in terms of quality, safety, and efficacy.

The UAE market now offers a number of biosimilars, including versions of the drugs infliximab, etanercept, and rituximab. Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and cancer are just a few of the illnesses that are being treated with these products. Hence, the biosimilar market will grow across the nation during the forecast period.

UAE biosimilars market analysis

Market Dynamics

Market Growth Drivers

  1. Savings: One of the main factors driving the market for biosimilars in the UAE is the high cost of branded biologics. Because they are typically less expensive than their reference products, patients can afford to use biosimilars as a therapy alternative.
  2. Support from the government: The UAE government is supporting the use of biosimilars by encouraging doctors to prescribe them and providing incentives to producers.
  3. Patent expirations: As branded biologics' patents lapse, biosimilar producers will have the chance to enter the market and face off against more well-known names.

There is an expanding need for biological treatments as the frequency of chronic illnesses like cancer and diabetes rises in the United Arab Emirates. A more affordable method of treating these illnesses is through the use of biosimilars.

Market Restraints

  1. Limited understanding and acceptance: Patients and healthcare professionals are unaware of biosimilars, which might make them reluctant to utilize these products. The effectiveness and safety of biosimilars may also raise concerns among some medical professionals.
  2. High development costs: Creating biosimilars is a difficult and expensive procedure that calls for a large investment in R&D. Smaller producers that do not have the resources to compete with well-established market competitors may find this to be a hindrance.
  3. Regulatory obstacles: The approval procedure for biosimilars can be drawn out and expensive, and the regulatory standards are complicated. Some producers may be deterred from joining the market as a result.

Healthcare Policies and Regulatory Landscape

The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) is in charge of the UAE's regulatory framework for biosimilars. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) have both published recommendations that the MOHAP has adopted for the approval and registration of biosimilars in the nation. According to these regulations, biosimilars must undergo extensive testing before being authorized for use and show that they are comparable to the reference product in terms of quality, safety, and effectiveness.

The healthcare system in Abu Dhabi is run by the Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA), which has devised a payment scheme for biosimilars based on clinical evidence, cost-effectiveness, and closeness to the reference product. Additionally, the SEHA has created a list of authorized biosimilars that are covered by the emirate's health insurance programs.
