Global Biosimilars Market to Reach US$17.9 Billion by 2017, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Biosimilars markets. The global market for biosimilars is forecast to reach US$17.9 billion by the year 2017. The market is driven primarily by the increasing demand for biotech drugs, cost-effectiveness of biosimilars in comparison to their expensive counterparts, impending patent expiries of major biotechnology drugs, aging population and increasing incidence of cancer and other critical diseases. Furthermore, the passing of the BPCI Act in the US for creating a regulatory pathway for biosimilars in the near future, and the establishment of biosimilar monoclonal antibodies guidelines in Europe, are the other factors expected to drive the growth momentum.
