The global biosimilars market size was estimated at USD 33.92 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 151.58 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 18.27% from 2025 to 2033. The cost-effectiveness of biosimilar drugs and the prevalence of chronic disorders globally are major factors contributing to market growth.
In addition, these drugs are comparatively easy to produce since they require less investment in research and development while providing similar results. This can help cut down expenditures on health. Moreover, the reduction in production costs and increasing demand can encourage producers to shift to biosimilars due to increased profits, which can give a further boost to this market. Biosimilars may contain slightly different substances and combinations of medical ingredients, but they are considered similar to their reference biologics in terms of effectiveness and safety.
Several regulations are in place to assess the compatibility and safety of biosimilar drugs. For instance, the FDA's Abbreviated New Drug Application Process requires applicants to scientifically prove that the performance of their product is similar to the reference biologics. It can be demonstrated by proving that their product takes a similar time to reach the bloodstream as the original product. Such regulations can help build trust in these drugs and expand their market share.
Moreover, the increasing prevalence of chronic or non-communicable diseases across the globe is also expected to drive the market. According to statistics released by the World Health Organization in November 2023, non-communicable diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and heart diseases, cause 41 million deaths every year, out of which 77% of fatalities belong to low- and middle-income countries.
The U.S. FDA approved three cancer-related biosimilars in 2022, which are expected to hit the market in 2023. These growing opportunities in this market are also encouraging key players to increase their investment in the research and development of biosimilars. For instance, according to an article published in Business Today in April 2022, Biocon Biologics planned to increase its R&D expenses by 10% to 15% to advance its pipeline of biosimilar molecules. The step is expected to help strengthen its future position in the market. There is a boom in the pharmaceutical industry in the development of biosimilar medications.
