Remicade Biosimilar Global Market Report 2024

The remicade biosimilar market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $3.2 billion in 2023 to $3.99 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.4%. The increase observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the introduction of Remicade (infliximab), advancements in biotechnology, the expiry of patents for biologics, the establishment of regulatory pathways, and pressures related to healthcare costs.

The remicade biosimilar market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.1 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as patent expirations, an increasing demand for cost-effective therapies, ongoing development in the biosimilar pipeline, reimbursement policies, and market consolidation. Significant trends expected during the forecast period include the influence of physician prescribing behavior, biosimilar lifecycle management, considerations related to biosimilar naming conventions, the determination of biosimilar interchangeability, and the importance of real-world evidence in the biosimilar landscape.

The increasing incidence of autoimmune diseases is poised to drive the growth of the Remicade biosimilar market. Autoimmune diseases involve the immune system mistakenly attacking and causing damage to the body's tissues and organs. Remicade biosimilars offer an effective therapeutic option for managing symptoms and reducing inflammation associated with autoimmune diseases. Notably, reports from the City University of London in October 2021 indicated that in the UK, 4 million people, or 7%, suffered from autoimmune diseases, with over 80 identified autoimmune illnesses exhibiting an annual prevalence increase of 3–9%. Similarly, the Cleveland Clinic reported that autoimmune diseases affected 1 in 15 people in the US in July 2021, with specific conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and lupus impacting millions. This rise in autoimmune diseases is a significant driver for the Remicade biosimilar market.

The substantial increase in healthcare expenditure is a key factor contributing to the growth of the Remicade biosimilar market. Healthcare expenditure refers to the total spending on healthcare goods and services over a specific period, usually annually. Biologic drugs, including Remicade, can be costly, prompting a greater focus on cost containment and resource efficiency. Biosimilars, such as those for Remicade, offer a more cost-effective alternative to originator biologics. For instance, data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in June 2023 revealed that the national health expenditure (NHE) in the United States reached $4.3 trillion in 2021, accounting for 18.3% of GDP. This growing healthcare expenditure is expected to drive the Remicade biosimilar market.

Innovation in product development is a notable trend in the Remicade biosimilar market, with major companies focusing on introducing innovative products to maintain their market position. An example is Amgen Inc., a US-based biotechnology company, which launched Amjevita in January 2023. Amjevita is a biosimilar version of AbbVie's Humira, designed to be as safe and effective as the original drug. With a lower cost than Humira, Amjevita offers patients a more affordable treatment option for autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease.

A trend in the Remicade biosimilar market is the focus on developing biosimilars for Humira drugs, a class of medications used to treat various conditions, including arthritis. Major companies are leveraging regulatory approvals to broaden their market presence. For example, in February 2021, the U.S. FDA approved an efficacy supplement for HUMIRA (adalimumab) injection, extending its indication for pediatric patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Additionally, in April 2023, the European Commission granted marketing authorization for a citrate-free high concentration formulation of Hyrimoz, a biosimilar of adalimumab. These regulatory approvals contribute to the growth of the Humira drug market.

In April 2022, Samsung Biologics, a South Korea-based biotechnology company, acquired Samsung Bioepis Co. Ltd. for $2.3 billion. This acquisition positions Samsung Biologics to meet the increasing demand for biosimilars, access a broader range of products, expand manufacturing capacity, and strengthen its global reach. Samsung Bioepis Co. Ltd. is a South Korea-based biopharmaceutical company specializing in producing Remicade biosimilar products.
