Growth Drivers
Growing Incidences of Non-Communicable Diseases Across the Globe – People worldwide are being diagnosed with various types of non-communicable diseases every year owing to the rising population level, escalation in the consumption of junk food items, and adoption of a sedentary lifestyle with reduced physical activity propelled the growth of non-communicable diseases. This has resulted in a rise in the consumption of medicines along with interchangeable biosimilars in the forecast period. The World Health Organization released data recently stating that non-communicable diseases are responsible for most of the deaths in the world. For instance, non-communicable diseases take approximately 41 million lives every year around the world which is equivalent to 74% of the deaths that occur worldwide.
Growing Per Capita Medical Expenditure – As the healthcare sector is expanding along with the development of better diagnostics, so is the spending capacity of people and their expenditure on healthcare to keep themselves disease-free and fasten the treatment process which in turn is expected to escalate the utilization rate of interchangeable biosimilars in the upcoming years. According to the OECD, health expenditure and financing in the United States increased from USD 11859 in 2020 to USD 12318 in 2021.
Constant Support from Government – Governments of different regions are spending a high amount of investments to accelerate the development of advanced medicinal products including interchangeable biosimilars are estimated to increase their production rate for faster and more efficient treatment procedures. As per the latest figures, United States government spending on healthcare increased by nearly 35% in 2020 which denotes a major increase from the 6% growth in 2019.
Increased Risks of Lifestyle Disorders – Owing to the rapid preference for unhealthy lifestyles with reduced physical activity as a result of indulgence in fast and busy lifestyles. Hence, recently the percentage of people with lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, cancer, obesity, and others has increased considerably. For treatment procedures, it is projected that the consumption rate of interchangeable biosimilars is estimated to increase drastically. Reports published by the World Health Organization stated that diabetes is responsible for taking 2 million lives every year across the world.
Rise in the Geriatric Population Across the World – There are higher chances of the aged population being affected by diseases, as their immunity gets weakened with age. Therefore, it is projected to drive the global interchangeable biosimilar market in the upcoming years. As per the estimations, the number of old people across the world will double by 2050 and reach 2 billion up from 1.5 billion in 2030.
Challenges
The global interchangeable biosimilars market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by disease type into Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, diabetes, cancer, and others. Out of these, the cancer segment is attributed to holding the largest share of the market by the end of 2035. The major factor attributed to segment growth is the rising prevalence of different types of cancer in the human body owing to the rising illnesses and disorders. According to the statistics revealed by World Health Organization (WHO), cancer was responsible for causing almost 10 million deaths across the world in 2020 which means 1 death out of every 6 deaths. Furthermore, the rising cases of high cholesterol, hypertension, anxiety, and panic attacks are also propelling the growth of cancer cases among the global population which is further anticipated to increase the utilization rate of interchangeable biosimilars in the upcoming years. Also, the adoption of unhealthy lifestyles with increased consumption of processed food items is projected to escalate the diagnosis of cancer across all nations of the world which subsequently is anticipated the expand the segment size.
The global interchangeable biosimilars market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by distribution channel into hospitals, retail pharmacies, and others. Out of these three segments, the hospitals segment is projected to hold the most significant share of the market in the forecast period with a notable CAGR.
