Market Dynamics

Driver

Enhanced Access and Cost Efficiency

Biosimilars possess substantial potential to enhance access to disease-modifying therapies for a broad spectrum of chronic illnesses, including certain cancers. Their more cost-efficient manufacturing processes may also facilitate increased experimentation with pharmacological therapies. By improving patient access to high-level drug therapies and alleviating the financial burden of chronic diseases on global healthcare systems, biosimilars can drive significant market growth. For this potential to be fully realized, physicians must become more comfortable prescribing biosimilars in place of reference products, and the prices of biosimilars must be considerably lower than their biological counterparts.

Restraint

Manufacturing and Analytical Challenges

Biosimilar manufacturers face significant challenges in processing and packaging due to the variability of large molecules and the stringent requirements for FDA proof of clinical safety. Variations in cell culture conditions can alter the molecular structure and clinical behavior of biosimilars, potentially introducing impurities, contaminating viruses, and traces of cell protein and DNA.

Biosimilars uptake varies by market and molecule

A pooled literature review of 90 studies published in 2018 indicated that switching from originator drugs to biosimilars made no difference in clinical efficacy and safety in the majority of cases.2 Many countries now encourage physician-led switching to biosimilars, and switching among pharmacies, pharmacy benefit managers, and others is also likely to increase.

In maturing European markets, biosimilars adoption exceeds 46 percent by volume across all molecules. However, this aggregate number masks wide variations in uptake between individual markets and molecules resulting from differences in policy, utilization of tenders, pricing and reimbursement, prescriber education.

Such differences are apparent in Exhibit 2, where variable approaches, for example between tender-based procurement and physician-driven pharmacy models, might result in different penetration levels. As markets develop, pricing dynamics play out more quickly, with companies offering large discounts or rebates for specific channels or key accounts earlier in a product’s commercial life cycle. For example, initial price discounts for recently launched biosimilars such as adalimumab are much greater than they were for older products.

How Biosimilars Are Improving Access to Biologic Medicines

Despite their benefits, biologic treatments are often associated with a high price tag, which can present a challenge getting them to the patients who need them. Between research and development and clinical testing, studies have shown that the development of new biologics (including the cost of failures) can exceed $2 billion and can take 10 years or longer—and that’s on top of developing and deploying the state-of-the-art technology necessary for manufacturing.

Even with insurance, cost-sharing agreements for biologics can leave patients with a hefty bill or unable to afford the treatments at all. Drug companies, doctors, and governments want to expand access the benefits of these treatments and that’s where biosimilars come in.

Drug companies can charge lower prices for biosimilars because much of the upfront development phase has been completed. While biosimilars go through testing to ensure they are as safe and effective as the original biologics, it doesn’t cost billions of dollars to create this new class of drugs.

According to the Association for Accessible Medicines, biosimilars have the potential to save the US healthcare system more than $133 billion by 2025.

Reducing overall costs means more patients may be able to access these essential medicines and provide savings to the healthcare system, which can free up resources for other areas of patient care.

Biosimilars vs. Generic Medications

Biosimilars are often compared to generic medications, but there are key differences.

The active ingredient within generic versions (of drugs that aren’t biologics) are exact copies of name brand medications, made with an easily repeatable manufacturing process.

In contrast, due to the variability of biologics, biosimilars cannot be exact copies but they do have the same mechanism of action and the same expected benefits and risks as the original biologics.

Similar to generics, biosimilars provide patients with lower-cost medicines, often making these treatments more accessible and improving quality of life for patients.

Biosimilars uptake varies by market and molecule

A pooled literature review of 90 studies published in 2018 indicated that switching from originator drugs to biosimilars made no difference in clinical efficacy and safety in the majority of cases.2 Many countries now encourage physician-led switching to biosimilars, and switching among pharmacies, pharmacy benefit managers, and others is also likely to increase.

In maturing European markets, biosimilars adoption exceeds 46 percent by volume across all molecules. However, this aggregate number masks wide variations in uptake between individual markets and molecules resulting from differences in policy, utilization of tenders, pricing and reimbursement, prescriber education.

Such differences are apparent in Exhibit 2, where variable approaches, for example between tender-based procurement and physician-driven pharmacy models, might result in different penetration levels. As markets develop, pricing dynamics play out more quickly, with companies offering large discounts or rebates for specific channels or key accounts earlier in a product’s commercial life cycle. For example, initial price discounts for recently launched biosimilars such as adalimumab are much greater than they were for older products.

How Biosimilars Are Improving Access to Biologic Medicines

Despite their benefits, biologic treatments are often associated with a high price tag, which can present a challenge getting them to the patients who need them. Between research and development and clinical testing, studies have shown that the development of new biologics (including the cost of failures) can exceed $2 billion and can take 10 years or longer—and that’s on top of developing and deploying the state-of-the-art technology necessary for manufacturing.

Even with insurance, cost-sharing agreements for biologics can leave patients with a hefty bill or unable to afford the treatments at all. Drug companies, doctors, and governments want to expand access the benefits of these treatments and that’s where biosimilars come in.

Drug companies can charge lower prices for biosimilars because much of the upfront development phase has been completed. While biosimilars go through testing to ensure they are as safe and effective as the original biologics, it doesn’t cost billions of dollars to create this new class of drugs.

According to the Association for Accessible Medicines, biosimilars have the potential to save the US healthcare system more than $133 billion by 2025.

Reducing overall costs means more patients may be able to access these essential medicines and provide savings to the healthcare system, which can free up resources for other areas of patient care.

Biosimilars vs. Generic Medications

Biosimilars are often compared to generic medications, but there are key differences.

The active ingredient within generic versions (of drugs that aren’t biologics) are exact copies of name brand medications, made with an easily repeatable manufacturing process.

In contrast, due to the variability of biologics, biosimilars cannot be exact copies but they do have the same mechanism of action and the same expected benefits and risks as the original biologics.

Similar to generics, biosimilars provide patients with lower-cost medicines, often making these treatments more accessible and improving quality of life for patients.
