(PharmaNewsWire.Com, June 28, 2019 ) According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Europe Biosimilar Market Research Report and Forecast 2019-2024”, the biosimilar market in Europe size reached US$ 2,934.6 Million in 2018. Biosimilars are biological drugs which are similar to approved branded biologics in terms of their safety, efficacy, structure and immunogenicity profile. They are manufactured and approved in accordance with the stringent laws of the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Over the years, there has been a rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases such as obesity, stroke, cancer, seizure and heart attacks owing to the increasing aging population. For instance, as per one of the recent reports by WHO, cancer has emerged as one of the major causes of death and morbidity in the region.
As patients have limited access to biologics on account of their high prices, there is a huge demand for biosimilars in the region. Biosimilars are relatively less expensive as they do not require extensive investment for research and development activities and marketing, which saves time as well as money of the manufacturers. This has further assisted in reducing the overall cost of treating chronic diseases. Moreover, the increasing awareness among patients about the safety and efficiency of biosimilars is creating a positive outlook for the market growth. In line with this, the EMA and the European Commission are working to improve the understanding of biosimilars across the European Union. Looking forward, the market is projected to reach a value of US$ US$ 11,663.1 Million by 2024, expanding at a CAGR of nearly 24.9% during 2019-2024.
