The Trastuzumab Biosimilar Market is expected to grow at a 25.0 % CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.
Trastuzumab is a recombinant DNA-derived humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). HER2 is over expressed in some types breast cancer cells hence, trastuzumab is mainly indicated for the treatment of HER2 positive breast cancer as well as it is also approved for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer and gastric cancer. It is marketed under the trade name of Herceptin by Roche. It is approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1998 and by European Medicines Agency in 2000. Trastuzumab was Roche’s first targeted anticancer drug which accounts more than 90% of HER2 positive cancer market.
Trastuzumab is world’s second monoclonal antibody which has resulted in a better prognosis for breast cancer (HER2 positive) and improved survival rates. As a cost of Herceptin is so high therefore there is great demand for affordable medicines so that it can fulfil the need of low-income patients as well as expand its coverage. Biosimilar is defined as a type of biological products that are approved by respective regulatory bodies because of its clinical similarity to already approved biological products.
Patent of Herceptin expired in Europe in 2014, in Asia in 2017, and in the U.S. in 2019. Thus many of biosimilar of trastuzumab have entered into the market. For instance, in June 2019, FDA has approved Allergan and Amgen’s biosimilar of Herceptin, for the breast cancer. Additionally, in December 2019, Biocon Ltd. and Mylan N.V. has launched the Ogivri, a biosimilar to Herceptin (trastuzumab).
The patent expiry of the key trastuzumab biologics are expiring and several companies are entering into development of biosimilar for trastuzumab biosimilar. Introduction to biosimilar in the market, increase in incidence and prevalence rate of breast and gastric cancer, rising demand for targeted therapy, and price cuts have boosted the growth of trastuzumab biosimilar market. The price of trastuzumab biosimilar is predicted to be 80% of that of Herceptin thus making it more affordable and accessible in low and medium income developing countries. However, stringent regulatory process for the approval of trastuzumab biosimilar is major restrain for the growth of the trastuzumab biosimilar market.
Market Segmentation:
The Global Trastuzumab Biosimilar market is segmented into Product, Indication, Route of administration, Molecule Type, Distribution Channel, and region. Based on product, ogivri, herzuma, ontruzant, trazimera, and other pipeline products. Based on indication, the global trastuzumab biosimilar market is segmented into adjuvant breast cancer, metastatic breast cancer, metastatic gastric cancer, and further indication.
In Case of the segment Route of administration, it comprises Subcutaneous, Intravenous, Parenteral, and Molecule Type. Whereas the molecule type segment includes Monoclonal antibodies, Peptide, Protein, Small molecule, and Product Type. Based on distribution channels the global market is segmented as hospital pharmacy, online pharmacy, and others direct distribution channels. The hospital pharmacy segment is expected to grow during the forecast period due to an increase in the number of hospital visits and hospital stays.
At the regional level, the Global Trastuzumab Biosimilar Market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. In terms of revenue, Europe is a major contributor to the global trastuzumab biosimilar market. This is partly because of a trastuzumab patent has been expired in 2014, and in Nov 2017, Samsung Bioepis launched trastuzumab biosimilar in Europe. Followed by Europe, North America is estimated to rank second in the global market owing to patent expiry of Herceptin in 2019, and launch of a biosimilar for same are expected to propel the growth of the market in the region.
Additionally, strong clinical pipeline, increasing research and drug development activities propels market growth in the region. Asia Pacific is third promising revenue contributor which is expected to grow at a rapid pace in the upcoming year. Countries such as Japan, India, and China are major contributors to this market. Emerging and huge population base countries such as China and India offer tremendous market opportunities.
