Remicade Biosimilars Market is forecasted to witness a thriving growth by 2026



Biosimilar refers to biotherapeutic product that is similar in terms of quality, efficacy, and safety to an existing licensed reference therapeutic drug. Biological products are the fastest growing class of therapeutic products, as they offer additional treatment options and help in lowering healthcare costs. Biosimilars are almost identical copies of the originally approved drugs and can be manufactured only when the patent for the original innovator drug expires. These products are highly sensitive to smallest changes in manufacturing procedure, as these drugs possess high molecular complexity. Remicade (Infliximab) refers to a chimeric monoclonal antibody biologic licensed by U.S. FDA in 1998, as an innovative product indicated for the treatment of Crohn’s disease in adults and children.

The monoclonal antibody drug was first developed in partnership by Janssen Biotech, Inc. and Merck & Co. The Remicade was later approved for its use in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, plague psoriasis, rheumatic arthritis, and spinal psoriatic arthritis in combination with methotrexate. Later, various pharmaceutical manufacturers developed biosimilars to infliximab, which lowered market share of Remicade due to cost-effective prices.

Market Dynamics:

Increasing incidence of autoimmune diseases such as plaque psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis are expected to drive growth of the Remicade biosimilar market size. According to the American Autoimmune Related Disease Association, around 50 million American suffered from autoimmune diseases in the U.S. in 2017. Moreover, faster reaction rates of these biosimilars due to their availability in the form of intravenous mode of administration is further expected to increase the adoption of Remicade biosimilar over the forecast period. Furthermore, patent expiry of the branded versions is expected to increase the number of biosimilars for its branded counterparts thereby increasing the demand for Remicade biosimilar. However, stringent regulatory guidelines for development of these biosimilars as well as side effects of these drugs leading to risk of hospitalization are expected to restrain growth of the global Remicade biosimilar market.

Regional Insights

On the basis of region, the global Remicade biosimilar market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. Europe holds a dominant position in the global Remicade biosimilar market and is expected to retain its dominance over the forecast period, owing to the presence of top market players in the region, rapid entry of biosimilars in the European market as well as high adoption rate due low price of the biosimilars. For instance, in 2018, Sandoz, a Novartis division received European Commission (EC) approval for Zessly (infliximab) a remicade biosimilar for use in Europe. The successive research and speedy approvals by the U.S. regulatory authorities for market entry of biosimilars in North America is expected to drive growth of the market over the forecast period. For instance, in December 2017, Pfizer, Inc. received the U.S. FDA approval for second biosimilar, Ifixi to Janssen’s blockbuster drug Remicade to treat rheumatoid arthritis.

Furthermore, Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth in the market over the forecast period, owing to developments in healthcare infrastructure and U.S. FDA approval of Remicade (infliximab) biosimilars by regional players to market the products internationally. For instance, in April 2016, Celltrion- a South Korea-based manufacturing company received the U.S. FDA approval for intravenously administered version of the rheumatoid arthritis drug sold under the name Infllectra. Moreover, major investments by regional players for research and development of biosimilar production is expected to drive growth of the market in Asia. For instance, in October 2016, Cipla, Inc. invested US$ 8 million to set up a manufacturing plant for biosimilars in South Africa.

Competitive Landscape

Key players operating in the global remicade biosimilar market include Janssen Biotech, Inc., Merck and Company, Inc., Alvogen, Pfizer, Inc., Celltrion, Nippon Kayaku, Napp Pharmaceuticals, and others. Market players are focused on introducing maximum number of biosimilar for multiple indications to retain their position in the global market. For instance, in July 2017, Merck & Company, Inc. in collaboration with Samsung Bioepis introduced Renflexis (infliximab-abda), a biosimilar to Remicade for the treatment of moderate to severe Crohn’s disease, active ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other few disease indications.

Why the Cold Pain Therapy is a Growing Payer Opportunity?

Image
Cold pain therapy is a therapeutic application of cold, used in the treatment of acute soft tissue injuries and to reduce the pain in post-operative condition in orthopedic surgeries, treatment of benign and malignant lesions, and in pain management. Cryotherapy can be applied topically (on the skin surface), surgically or percutaneously. This can also be used to treat various skin conditions such as oral mucositis and tumors in the liver, kidney, bones, breasts and lungs, skin tumors, skin tags, pre-cancerous skin moles, and injuries. Cryosurgery procedure involves use of extreme cold, produced with help of liquid nitrogen (or argon gas) to destroy abnormal tissues. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), cryosurgery is used for treatment of several types of cancers and some non-cancerous conditions. It is reported to be effective for treatment in early stage skin cancer, retinoblastoma, actinic keratosis, and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Accord...

Ursodeoxycholic Acid Market Shows Boosted Growth Rate 2018-2026 Estimated by Global Top Players

Image
Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is a bile acid taken as either a tablet or liquid to treat gallstones and to treat and prevent the progression of cystic fibrosis-related liver disorder. UDCA modifies the bile acid pool by decreasing levels of hydrophobic bile acids while increasing proportion of nontoxic hydrophilic bile acids. UDCA can delay development of gastroesophageal varices and progression to cirrhosis. Moreover it can improve long-term survival in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis. Significant improvement in liver health can be achieved during UDCA therapy in patients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, primary sclerosing cholangitis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, cystic fibrosis-associated liver disease, total parenteral nutrition-induced cholestasis, graft related liver disease, and in some pediatric cholestatic liver diseases. The global ursodeoxycholic acid market size was valued at US$ 346.2 million in 2017, and is expected to witn...

Booms and Busts in Anatomic Pathology Market; Dynamics Trends Over The Time Discussed 2018-2026

Image
Anatomic pathology involves direct visualization of human tissue as gross examination as well as under a microscope for proper diagnosis of the disease or a pathological condition. Subtypes of anatomic pathology include surgical pathology, oral and maxillofacial pathology, cytopathology, molecular pathology, and forensic pathology. Procedures performed in anatomic pathology include gross examination, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, cryopathology, tissue cytogenetics, and others. Standard approach in anatomical pathology is microscopic examination of tissue samples with the help of one or more stains. Manufacturers have developed stains to identify and classify microorganisms in biopsy of tissue samples or excisional specimens. Various gram stains and acid-fast stains have applications in detection of bacteria and mycobacteria in tissue samples. Commercially available products include tissue processing systems, microtomes, cryostats, ...
