The historical growth can be attributed to the acceptance rates within the market, the outcomes of clinical trials, shifts in market share, long-term results for patients, and the strategies employed for pricing.

The biologic & biosimilar ra drugs market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.16 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the rising development of biologic drugs, intensified market competition, evolving healthcare policies, shifting patient preferences, and continued clinical research and development. Key trends in the forecast period encompass heightened competition in the biosimilar market, the emergence of personalized medicine and precision therapy, advancements in drug delivery systems, emphasis on safety and efficacy, and a shift towards patient-centric healthcare.

The expansion of the aging demographic and a surge in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) cases are propelling growth in the market for biologics and biosimilar RA drugs. The term 'older population' denotes individuals aged 60 years or older. RA, an autoimmune ailment affecting joints due to the immune system attacking healthy cells, is more prevalent among the elderly, given the weakening of the immune system with age. Biologics and biosimilar RA drugs exhibit enhanced efficacy compared to conventional medications in treating RA. Notably, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that the global population aged 60 and above was approximately 1 billion in 2020, projected to reach 1.4 billion by 2030 and 2.1 billion by 2050. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention anticipates a rise in arthritis cases to 78.4 million by 2040, with 34.6 million individuals experiencing arthritis-related activity limitations. The confluence of a growing geriatric population and an increasing prevalence of RA is a driving force behind the biologics and biosimilars RA drugs market.

Anticipated growth in healthcare spending is poised to drive the expansion of the biologic and biosimilar RA drug market. Healthcare spending encompasses the total financial outlay by individuals, governments, and organizations on medical goods and services, encompassing expenses related to health condition prevention, treatment, and management. Biologic and biosimilar RA drugs play a pivotal role in optimizing the management of rheumatoid arthritis by providing specialized and often costly treatments in a cost-effective manner. For instance, projections by the Canada-based Institute for Health Information (CIHI) indicate that total health spending in Canada is expected to reach $344 billion in 2023, amounting to $8,740 per Canadian. This represents a 2.8% growth in 2023, following a 1.5% increase in 2022. The escalating healthcare spending landscape is a key driver for the biologic and biosimilar RA drug market.

A prominent trend contributing to popularity is the introduction of new innovations in the biologic and biosimilar RA drugs market. Major industry players are concentrating on the development of biosimilar treatments, exemplified by advancements such as Dual Concentration Biosimilar Options, offering cost-effective alternatives. Noteworthy is the collaboration between Organon, a US-based healthcare company, and Samsung Bioepis, a South Korea-based biopharmaceutical company. In July 2023, they launched HADLIMA, a biosimilar of Humira (adalimumab), in the US. HADLIMA, available in both high and low concentrations, aims to improve accessibility and affordability for patients with autoimmune diseases. Priced at an 85% discount to Humira, HADLIMA includes an autoinjector endorsed by the Arthritis Foundation and a patient support program called 'HADLIMA For You,' providing educational resources and co-pay support. Indicated for various conditions including rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease, HADLIMA, with its dual concentration options, ensures seamless continuity of care for patients.

Leading companies in the biologic and biosimilar RA drugs market are securing approvals for groundbreaking biologics, including injectable medications, to enhance their offerings for the treatment of polymyalgia rheumatica. Injectable medications, typically administered in liquid form using a needle and syringe, are gaining prominence in expanding treatment options. For instance, in February 2023, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a US-based biotechnology company, and Sanofi, a France-based healthcare and pharmaceutical company, obtained FDA approval for Kevzara (sarilumab) to address polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) in adults with an inadequate response to corticosteroids or those unable to tolerate corticosteroid taper. The approval stems from positive outcomes in the SAPHYR Phase 3 trial, where Kevzara demonstrated a significant 28% sustained remission rate compared to the placebo's 10% at 52 weeks. Originally approved for rheumatoid arthritis, Kevzara stands out as the first and only biologic treatment for PMR, providing relief from its debilitating symptoms.

In November 2022, Biocon, an India-based biopharmaceutical company, completed the acquisition of Viatris' global biosimilars business for $3 billion. This acquisition serves to bring patients, consumers, and payors closer to Biocon Biologics, offering direct commercial capabilities and supporting infrastructure across various emerging and advanced markets. Viatris, a US-based pharmaceutical company, specializes in manufacturing biosimilars for treating rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases. The acquisition positions Biocon Biologics to strengthen its presence and expand its reach in the biosimilars business, further solidifying its standing in the competitive landscape.
