Opportunity: Growing preference for biosimilar drugs;
The Biosimilars were introduced in 2006 by many pharmaceutical companies such as Sandoz (Germany), Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Israel), and JCR Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (Japan). Due to their lower costs (compared to their patented counterparts), the demand for biosimilars has increased significantly. In addition, the impending patent expiry of many biologic molecules will also serve to drive the demand for biosimilars.
Even insurance companies and governments are favoring the use of biosimilars and generics. For instance, CVS Caremark, a major prescription insurer in the US, has replaced branded injectable drugs such as Lantus by Sanofi and EpiPen by Mylan with their biosimilars Basaglar (available in injection pen) by Eli Lilly and Adrenaclick (an autoinjector) by Amedra Pharmaceuticals. This favors the pen needles market as Basaglar is administered via pen injector. Many other injectable drugs also rely on pen injection; thus, the growing preference for biosimilar drugs and support from governments and insurance providers will ensure strong opportunities for growth in this market.
