Global Adalimumab Biosimilar Market Size is estimated to grow at the CAGR of 23.0% during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Adalimumab is a human monoclonal antibody that inhibits tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which is a soluble inflammatory cytokine, to treat autoimmune disorders. Adalimumab binds to TNF-alpha (TNF-), blocking it from activating TNF receptors, which are responsible for autoimmune disorders' inflammatory responses. Adalimumab treats rheumatoid, juvenile idiopathic, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, psoriasis, and ulcerative colitis. These can be treated with several biosimilars that have been approved by the EMA (European Medicines Agency) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States (U.S.). About 240 biosimilar candidates are being made for all diseases. The Adalimumab Biosimilar market keeps growing due to more strategic partnerships and acquisitions. Biosimilars also bring down the cost of treatment, which helps patients get the care they need.
It was first discovered by the "phage display" technique which was named 'D2E7'. Furthermore, it experienced the various manufacturing process at BASF Bioresearch Corporation and developed by BASF Knoll. In December 2000, Abbott announced the acquisition of BASF Bioresearch Corporation.
Abbott Laboratories spun off its pharmaceutical division, AbbVie Inc., in January 2013. AbbVie sold Adalimumab under the brand name Humira. The FDA and European Medicines Agency authorised it in 2008 and 2003, respectively. Humira's patent expired in June 2017 in Europe and November 2017 in the US. Biosimilar adalimumab products are being developed by numerous pharmaceutical companies because it is the world's best-selling medicine.
The market for biosimilar adalimumab is anticipated to expand at a high rate throughout the forecast period. Adalimumab is one of the top-selling medications in the world. In addition, the entry of adalimumab biosimilar competitors into the market is anticipated to stimulate the expansion of the worldwide adalimumab biosimilar market. The market for biosimilar Adalimumab continues to expand due to additional strategic collaborations and acquisitions. Biosimilars also reduce the cost of treatment, enabling patients to receive the care they require. During the projected period, the market for biosimilar adalimumab will be propelled by the rising demand for biosimilar pharmaceuticals and the rising demand for cost-effective therapy in low- and middle-income nations.
However, the complex regulatory process for the licencing of biosimilars is the key factor impeding the expansion of the adalimumab biosimilars market. In addition, the measures employed by patent holder businesses to combat biosimilar competition hinder the expansion of the adalimumab biosimilar industry. For example, Abbvie filed a complaint against Boehringer Ingelheim about a biosimilar Humira product.
The Adalimuman biosimilar market is segmented into three main segments Brand, Product, application and distribution channels. The Brand segment is segmented into Abrilada, Adalirel, Amjevita, Cipleumab, Cyltezo, Exemptia, Hadlima, Hulio, Hymiroz, Idacio, Yuflyma, Yusimry, Simlandi, and others (including products approved in developing countries and pipeline products). The Product segment has Amjevita, Cyltezo, Hadlima, Yusimry, Hulio, Hymiroz, Abrilada, Exemptia, Adalirel, Cipleumab. Based on application, the global adalimumab biosimilar market is segmented into rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease, ankylosing spondylitis, ulcerative colitis, and psoriasis. The rheumatoid arthritis application segment is expected to grow at a higher pace during the forecast period owing to the increasing incidence and prevalence rate of disease across the globe. Based on distribution channels, the global adalimumab biosimilar market is segmented as hospital pharmacies, online pharmacies and other direct distribution channels.
