Sales of Biosimilar Drugs Set to Surge Sharply in Coming Years

Biosimilars are basically biologic medical products or biologics that are very similar to the conventionally used generic drugs, which are also called reference drugs in the medical industry in order to differentiate them from biosimilars. The extreme similarity that exists between the two groups of drugs often causes confusion among the buyers at pharmaceutical stores. Unlike the generic drugs, the biosimilar drugs are only identical to the original medicines in terms of their therapeutic and clinical results. The other dissimilarity that exists between the two groups of drugs is that the generic medicines are exact carbon copies of the original synthetic drugs, while biosimilar products are generally modeled after the drugs that utilize living organisms as necessary ingredients. As these products are cheaper than the name brand medicines and produce excellent therapeutic results, they are being used more and more in place of the conventional drugs across the world. These proteins are further divided into erythropoietin, follitropin, and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), among which, the sales of the mAbs are predicted to be significantly high during the coming years, because of the soaring demand for biosimilars for the treatment and management of various chronic diseases such as diabetes and cancer. Furthermore, because of the growing prevalence of cancer around the world, the usage of biosimilar drugs will increase tremendously in oncology applications in the years to come.
