Biosimilar versions of MAbs for cancer forecast to garner sales of $4.9 billion in 2021

28 October 2012

While branded versions of monoclonal antibodies for cancer are expected to maintain sales of $6.7 million across the USA, the EU5 countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK) and Japan, biosimilar versions of MAbs are forecast to garner sales of $4.9 billion in 2021, says BioTrends Research, a unit of Decision Resources.

It forecasts relatively rapid uptake of biosimilar granulocyte-colony stimulating factors (G-CSFs), noting that, by 2021, biosimilar sales of G-CSFs are expected to reach $1.8 billion across the seven major pharmaceutical markets.
