US Biosimilars Market Executive Summary

The US biosimilars market size was valued at $8.6 Bn in 2022 and is estimated to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.2% from 2022 to 2030 and will reach $35.1 Bn in 2030. Biosimilars are biological products that are very similar to a reference product that has already received regulatory agency approval and differ from it in no clinically significant ways. Because they are made using a different manufacturing technique and may be sold at a lower price point than pricey biologic medications, biosimilars provide a more cost-effective substitute.

As more biosimilars are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the market for biosimilars in the US has been gradually expanding in recent years. The FDA has authorized 31 biosimilars for use in the US market as of April 2023, with indications ranging from autoimmune illnesses to cancer. The US biosimilar industry is still developing, with new approvals, legal issues, and policy modifications influencing the environment. It seems probable that biosimilars will keep playing a significant role in the US healthcare system as more of them are approved and made available to patients.

US biosimilars market analysis

Market Dynamics

Market Growth Drivers

Many biologic pharmaceuticals have reached or are about to reach the end of their patent protection, which gives biosimilar producers a chance to join the market with less expensive goods. Additionally, the high cost of biological medications has led to an increase in demand for affordable treatments. The fact that biosimilars are more reasonably priced than biologics is what is promoting their uptake.

Moreover, in the US, chronic diseases including cancer and autoimmune conditions are more common. The demand for biosimilars is being fueled by the fact that they provide an affordable means of treating certain illnesses.

Furthermore, a regulatory framework for the approval of biosimilars has been developed by the US FDA, which has made it easier for them to enter the market. Favorable governmental regulations have also been implemented. Additionally, the US has a regulatory framework in place for the approval and marketing of biosimilars according to the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA).

Market Restraints

The process of creating biosimilars is time-consuming and expensive. Because of the hefty development expenses, some firms can decide not to enter the market. Also, the complexity of biologic manufacturing processes: It is difficult to reproduce biologic medications since they are generated utilizing sophisticated manufacturing techniques. With biosimilars, this complexity can result in issues with quality and safety. Some manufacturers may find it difficult to enter the market due to the complicated and drawn-out regulatory approval procedure for biosimilars. Additionally, manufacturers may experience uncertainty due to the shifting regulatory framework for biosimilars.

Recent Developments

In November 2020, the FDA approved Pfizer's biosimilar, Ruxience (rituximab-pvvr), for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Expansion of Biosimilar Use: There has been a gradual increase in the use of biosimilars in the US market. According to a report by the Biosimilars Council, biosimilars saved the US healthcare system $2.2 Bn in 2020. This growth is expected to continue as more biosimilars are approved and as healthcare providers become more familiar with their use.

Healthcare Policies and Regulatory Landscape

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees biosimilars in accordance with the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA). According to the BPCIA, biosimilars must show that they are extremely comparable to an authorized reference product in terms of safety, purity, and potency in order to receive regulatory clearance. To support the safety and effectiveness of the biosimilar, the FDA can potentially demand further information.

Reimbursement guidelines for biosimilars are still being developed in the US. Costs associated with healthcare can be decreased since biosimilars are frequently less expensive than their reference products. However, state and payer-specific reimbursement regulations for biosimilars may differ.

A payment strategy for biosimilars under the Medicare Part B program has been set by the Centres for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The average sales price (ASP) of the reference product + 6% of the ASP of the biosimilar is what is paid for biosimilars under this policy. By offering financial incentives to healthcare professionals, this program aims to encourage the adoption of biosimilars.
