Biopharmaceutical Market Analysis

The Biopharmaceuticals Market size is estimated at USD 516.79 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 761.80 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 8.07% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the biopharmaceutical industry. Most biopharmaceutical companies strived extensively to develop vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. For instance, in June 2022, Pfizer announced a USD 120 million investment for its Kalamazoo (Michigan) facility, enabling United States-based production for its COVID-19 oral treatment, PAXLOVID (nirmatrelvir tablets and ritonavir tablets). The increased interest in manufacturing COVID-19 vaccines significantly added to the growth of the biopharmaceutical market during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, as the situation stabilized post-COVID-19, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases is likely to facilitate market growth.

Factors like rising chronic disease prevalence and increasing acceptance and demand for biopharmaceuticals owing to their ability to treat previously untreatable diseases are driving the market's growth. For instance, in September 2022, a report by the WHO stated that about 55 million people around the world are living with dementia, and nearly 10 million cases are reported annually. WHO also highlighted that Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia and constitutes about 60-70% of the total cases of dementia. As per the same source, most people who develop Alzheimer's dementia are 65 years and above. Such a high disease prevalence is likely to facilitate the demand for effective treatment, which in turn will likely bolster market growth over the coming years.

The biopharmaceutical products' capability to address previously untreatable conditions has paved the way for introducing innovative drugs in the market. For instance, in September 2022, the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) approved Bluebird Bio, Inc.'s SKYSONA (elivaldogene autotemcel), which is indicated to slow the progression of neurologic dysfunction in boys 4-17 years of age with early, active cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (CALD). Similarly, in June 2022, CBER approved GlaxoSmithKline's PRIORIX, a live vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella. Thus, such product approvals increase the availability of novel drugs in the market, which is expected to boost the market studied over the forecast period.

Furthermore, in February 2022, Johnson and Johnson and its China-focused partner company Legend Biotech Corp developed a therapy to treat white blood cell cancer type approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Thus, the development of new therapies that aid in treating oncologic disorders is anticipated to have a positive impact on the growth of the biopharmaceutical market over the forecast period.

Thus, factors such as rising chronic disease prevalence, product launches, and approvals over the forecast period are likely to facilitate market growth over the forecast period. However, high-end manufacturing and complicated and cumbersome regulatory requirements will hinder market growth over the forecast period.

Biopharmaceutical Market Trends

Anti-cancer Monoclonal Antibodies are Expected to Witness Significant Growth Over the Forecast Period

Anti-cancer Monoclonal antibodies (also called moAbs or mAbs) are proteins made in laboratories that act like antibodies and treat cancer. They work in different ways to kill the cancer cells or inhibit their growth further. The rising usage of monoclonal antibodies and antibody derivatives in therapeutics to treat cancer is the key driver for the rapid growth of the studied segment.

Growing approvals, clinical trials, and increasing research expenditure are major factors contributing to this segment's growth. For instance, in October 2022, PT217, a bispecific anti-Delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3)/anti-Cluster of Differentiation 47 (CD47) antibody, developed by Phanes Therapeutics, Inc. received Phase 1 clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Phanes Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotech company focused on oncology for patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and other neuroendocrine cancers.

Additionally, the growing FDA approvals and new product launches for various indications will drive the segment. For instance, in January 2022, the FDA approved Kimmtrak for treating HLA-A-positive adult patients with unresectable or metastatic uveal melanoma, a rare type of cancer that originates in the eye. Similarly, in May 2022, Roche Pharma launched Phesgo, a combination of monoclonal antibodies, Perjeta (pertuzumab) and Herceptin (trastuzumab) with hyaluronidase, for the treatment of patients with breast cancer.

Thus, the monoclonal antibodies segment is likely to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to the abovementioned factors.

Biopharmaceuticals Market: Number of New Cancer Cases (in million), United States, 2021-2023

North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Share of the Market Over the Forecast Period

The growing burden of chronic diseases, rising geriatric population, and increasing investments in research and development activities in the region are the major factors driving the biopharmaceuticals market in North America. In addition, the presence of well-established biopharmaceutical companies and new product launches are also expected to boost the market growth in the region.

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases in the United States is likely to facilitate market growth in the region. For instance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) data updated in July 2022 briefed that coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease, and approximately 20.1 million adults aged 20 and older suffer from the ailment in the United States. Additionally, per the CDC data, every 40 seconds, someone suffers from a heart attack, and nearly 805,000 people in the United States have a heart attack annually. Thus, the high burden of cardiovascular diseases demands the availability of advanced drugs for treatment, which is likely to boost the market growth.

Furthermore, an increase in the incidences of chronic diseases among the Canadian population, as well as the comorbidities associated with the diseases, is expected to positively impact the growth of the biopharmaceutical market over the forecast period. For instance, according to Statistics Canada, as of July 2022, almost one in five Canadians (18.8% of the population; 7,329,910 people) were at least 65 years of age. As the geriatric population is more prone to chronic diseases, the rising elderly population is likely to raise the demand for effective drugs for their treatment hence, expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.

Furthermore, strategic activities such as acquisition and rising investments by key market players to expand their footprint in the biopharmaceutical market are also expected to propel the market growth. For instance, in May 2022, Eli Lilly and Company announced an investment of USD 2.1 billion to expand its manufacturing footprint in Indiana, United States. Similarly, in May 2022, LOTTE acquired Bristol Myers Squibb's manufacturing facility in East Syracuse, New York. The East Syracuse site will serve as the LOTTE Center for North America Operations for LOTTE's new biologics contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) business in the United States.

Thus, the factors mentioned above, such as rising chronic disease prevalence and the company's investment and acquisition strategy, the studied market is expected to grow significantly in North America over the forecast period.
