Biosimilar hormones refer to hormone products that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the human body. The hormones used in these therapies may be the same as those found in conventional hormone treatments and are used to manage conditions in which hormone levels are deficient or imbalanced.
The primary types of biosimilar hormones include teriparatide biosimilars, follitropin alfa biosimilars, insulin biosimilars, somatropin biosimilars, and others. Teriparatide is a recombinant parathyroid hormone (PTH) that resembles a component of human PTH and, when administered regularly, stimulates osteoblast activity more than osteoclast activity, thereby increasing bone mass. These products are used in various applications such as research and biotechnology, diagnostics, biocatalysts, therapeutics, and others, and are distributed through multiple channels including hospital and retail pharmacies, online pharmacies or e-pharmacies, and specialty clinics.
Tariffs have influenced the biosimilar hormones market by increasing the cost of imported active pharmaceutical ingredients, biologic manufacturing equipment, and cold-chain logistics. Insulin and somatropin biosimilar segments are particularly affected, with North America and Europe facing price pressures due to reliance on international supply chains. These tariffs have increased production and distribution costs but have also encouraged local manufacturing, regional capacity expansion, and development of cost-efficient biosimilar hormone products over the long term.
The biosimilar hormones market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides biosimilar hormones market statistics, including biosimilar hormones industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a biosimilar hormones market share, detailed biosimilar hormones market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the biosimilar hormones industry. This biosimilar hormones market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The biosimilar hormones market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $6.22 billion in 2025 to $7.68 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising prevalence of diabetes and hormonal disorders, high cost of branded hormone therapies, increasing aging population, growing awareness of hormone replacement therapies, expansion of hospital and retail pharmacy networks.
The biosimilar hormones market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.12 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to patent expiry of major biologic hormones, increasing regulatory support for biosimilars, growing demand for affordable endocrine treatments, expansion of online pharmacy distribution channels, rising investment in biosimilar R&D. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of biosimilar hormones as cost-effective alternatives, increasing demand for insulin and growth hormone biosimilars, growing acceptance of biosimilar hormone therapies among physicians, expansion of biosimilar use in chronic and lifestyle diseases, improved regulatory pathways supporting biosimilar approvals.
The rising level of healthcare expenditure is expected to drive the growth of the biosimilar hormones market in the coming years. Healthcare expenditure represents the total financial resources allocated by individuals, organizations, or governments toward the prevention, treatment, and management of health conditions. Spending on healthcare continues to increase due to advancements in medical technology, as new diagnostic tools, therapies, and innovative treatments are often associated with higher costs, contributing to greater overall healthcare spending. Higher healthcare expenditure supports the adoption of biosimilar hormones by increasing demand for cost-effective treatment options and improving patient access across healthcare systems. For example, in December 2024, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, a US-based agency overseeing Medicare and Medicaid programs, healthcare spending in the United States rose by 7.5% in 2023, reaching $4.9 trillion, or approximately $14,570 per person. As a result, rising healthcare expenditure is contributing to the growth of the biosimilar hormones market.
The increasing prevalence of diabetes is also expected to fuel the growth of the biosimilar hormones market. Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the body's ability to convert food into energy. Biosimilar hormones, particularly insulin, provide safe and effective alternatives for diabetes management, offering the potential for lower treatment costs and improved patient accessibility. In addition, biosimilar growth hormone may support diabetes treatment by helping improve blood glucose control in adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. For instance, in June 2023, the International Diabetes Federation, a Germany-based umbrella organization representing more than 240 national diabetes associations, reported a significant rise in diabetes prevalence, projecting that 783 million adults aged 20 to 79 will be living with diabetes by 2045. Therefore, the growing prevalence of diabetes is expected to further drive the expansion of the biosimilar hormones market in the future.
Major companies operating in the biosimilar hormones market are developing innovative products, such as Sogroya (somapacitan-beco) injection, to strengthen their market position and improve profitability. Sogroya is a prescription analog of human growth hormone used to treat individuals diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency. For example, in April 2023, Novo Nordisk, a Denmark-based pharmaceutical company, received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration for a new indication for Sogroya to treat children aged 2.5 years and older who experience growth failure due to insufficient endogenous growth hormone secretion. Sogroya is currently the only once-weekly growth hormone therapy approved for use in both pediatric and adult patients. The approval was based on results from the phase 3 REAL4 clinical trial, which demonstrated the therapy's effectiveness in treating growth hormone deficiency in children.
