Introduction of targeted therapies coupled with rising adoption of patient centric personalized medicine anticipated to fuel demand. Ever-increasing understanding of the cell physiology and stress, as well as the factors involved in protein production and heterologous gene expression have empowered the use of different living factories.
These living factories are the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Enhancement of drug functionality through achieving successful protein folding and post-translational modifications is supportive for projected progress rate.
Moreover, rising adoption of biopharmaceuticals over chemically synthesized molecules is expected to propel revenue generation significantly. In addition to this, presence of several metabolic disorders that can be treated through the use of biologics is attributive to influence demand.
Combination of advanced bioengineering technologies for biopharmaceutical production is expected to boost progress in pharmaceutical industry. With recent advances in automation, the selection process can be done through high throughput screening (HTS) system for selection of viable clones.
Aforementioned method enables robust production of biopharmaceutical products by obtaining high-producing cell line. Advances with respect to upstream and downstream processing would directly translate into the growth in revenue for this market at a larger level.
However, development of biosimilars is expected to restrain the biologics year on year growth to certain extent. Although, the regulatory approval pathway for these products is not framed yet some drug manufacturers are opting to invest in the development of biobetters.
Source Insights
On the basis of the source used for the manufacturing of these biopharmaceuticals, they are categorized into mainly microbial, mammalian, with an addition of some other sources including transgenic models, avian, insect, and transgenic animals.
Microbial expression systems registered the largest revenue generation due to a substantial number of drugs generated by using these products. Microbial expression systems typically cover Escherichia Coli and yeast.
Products developed through these expression systems include recombinant insulin, platelet-derived growth factor, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and recombinant interferon. Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, and Genentech are the companies implementing the usage of microbial systems.
Product Insights
Monoclonal antibodies (MABs) dominated the market with the largest revenue share due to higher usage of this category of drugs in different therapeutic areas. MABs allow targeting of unhealthy cells without harming the healthy cells.
Moreover, these drugs are particularly useful in cancer management, treatment of autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis. Vaccines are anticipated to witness the fastest growth in the coming years owing to usage as a preventative tool in infectious diseases.
The development of a virus-based therapeutic vaccine is in the process of development for melanoma treatment. This is a genetically-modified product for in tumor cells and expresses a gene for an immune-stimulating protein.
Manufacturing Insights
Manufacturing is a part of the major steps of biologics production and comprises of a significant share of the biologics market. Mode of manufacturing is an important aspect to be considered, as it represents the outsourcing and in-house activities of the sector.
Companies are opting to manufacture than to purchase an entity or outsource the services. This has led to the larger share of in-house manufacturing for biologics. Companies are engaged in investing on own bioprocessing capabilities.
There are investments done by the CMOs for increasing the commercial biopharmaceutical manufacturing capacity. But, the value of the outsourcing contracts is comparatively lower than for the overall market and would be unable to drive sector growth as it does in the pharmaceutical market.
Disease Category Insights
Oncology accounted for the largest share as a consequence of the rising incidence of cancer coupled with the presence of different R&D projects. These projects include gene therapies and antisense therapies for cancer eradication.
Furthermore, oncology is anticipated to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. Drivers for the projected growth include the rising adoption of products in order to reduce the series of adverse events associated with the usage of cancer chemotherapy.
Regional Insights
North America biologics market accounted for the largest share of 78.54% in 2022 owing to the presence of major companies, favorable reimbursement policies, and high investment in R&D. Biologics accounts for around 40% of the total drug spending in the United States. Approval of new biologic drugs is expected to further drive market growth during the forecast period, for instance, in 2022, the U.S. FDA gave approval to 21 BLA’s. U.S market for biologics accounted for significant share in 2022 owing to rising R&D spending for the biologic development coupled with the presence of large number of FDA approved biologics in the country.
Germany accounts for the highest share in the Europe biologics market. The presence of advanced manufacturing sector, favourable reimbursement, availability of multiple approved drugs and target patient population are contributing to the dominance of this market in Europe.
Continuous efforts by the regulators, policy makers, and the pharmaceutical industry jointly to address both affordability and availability of biologics, especially mAbs, are anticipated to expand the Chinese market size of biologics in the coming years. One of the key drivers responsible for the growth of the Chinese biologic market is continuous proliferation of biologic developing plants in the country. For instance, in November 2022, WuXi Biologics announced the successful launch of GMP operations at it drug production facility in China. The 12,000 m2 plant will manufacture around 60 million vials for commercial drug every year.
