Executive Summary
Pharmaceutical industry is engaged in the discovery, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical drugs such as legal drugs, vaccines, biologics and a large number of medical devices such as infusion pump, pacemakers, prosthetics, implantable defibrillators etc. Pharmaceutical drugs and devices are subjected to various laws and regulations governing their patent, safety, and efficacy. On an elementary level pharmaceutical drugs are broadly classified into two categories: small molecules (non-biologics) and large molecules (biologics).
Large molecules are mostly made of cells or other living organisms and are used to produce therapeutic proteins or biological molecules. Drugs made up of large molecules are popularly known as biotech drugs, biologics or biopharmaceuticals. The major biologics blockbusters currently available in the market are Humira, Remicade, Enbrel, Avastin and Herceptin.
The global biologics market has increased over the years and projections are made that the market would grow at a steady pace in the next four years i.e. 2019-2023. The market is supported by various growth drivers such as rise in sedentary lifestyle, hike in spending on healthcare, increasing biologics approval, growing incidence of chronic conditions among the aging population, increased availability of advanced diagnostics, rising auto-immune diseases, higher usage of monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of different diseases and advancement in healthcare & biotechnology.
Yet the market faces some restraints which are obstructing the growth of the market. Some of the major challenges faced by the industry are emergence of biosimilars, high cost of biologics, lack of oral absorption and operational challenges.
