  • (1888PressRelease) July 27, 2011 - With sales worth US$ 57 Million in 2010, biosimilars are still far from their billion dollar sales potential that most analysts believe they will generate. This market, however, unlike small molecule generics, is expected to be marathon and not a sprint. IMARC Group, one of the world's leading research and advisory firms, in its new report entitled "US Biosimilar & Follow-On Biologics Market Report (2011-2020): Problems, Prospects & Projections" finds that with eighteen biopharmaceutical molecules expected to face biosimilar competition during 2011 and 2020, the market for biosimilars in the US is expected to reach values worth US$ 11.4 Billion by 2020.

    Findings from the report suggest that the historical performance of Omnitrope cannot be taken as a benchmark to gauge the potential of pipeline biosimilars as market acceptance for each biosimilar class is expected to significantly vary from one another. The report expects competition between branded biological drugs and their biosimilar counterparts to represent more that of a brand-brand competition than a brand-generic competition. The high costs involved in the development and launch of biosimilars is expected to limit the number of players in this market and create a significantly lower price and volume erosion compared to small molecule generics.
