The global market for biologic therapeutic drugs is estimated to increase from $499.2 billion in 2024 to reach $794.5 billion by 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7% from 2024 through 2029.
The pharmaceutical industry is undergoing tremendous transformations by focusing more on targeted and personalized therapies. The industry is witnessing a shift from traditional synthetic drugs to biologic therapeutic drugs, which are more efficacious, have better patient outcomes and improve quality of life. Biologic drugs are primarily classified into monoclonal antibodies; vaccines; peptide hormones; cell and gene therapies; and others, which include protein therapeutics (e.g., cytokines, enzymes, blood factors, fusion proteins) and other drugs (e.g., RNA-based therapies).
The biopharmaceutical industry has recently been witnessing tremendous growth due to the increasing demand for innovative therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies, cell and gene therapies and vaccines. The demand for these therapies is primarily driven by such factors as the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, rising healthcare expenditures, increasing awareness, novel product launches and strong pipelines. The biologic approvals by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are increasing year on year, and 2023 was marked by the approval of two breakthrough therapies: the gene editing therapy Casgevy from Vertex Pharmaceutical and Leqembi (lecanemab) from Eisai Inc.
The entry of biosimilars into the market is expected to erode the revenues of the current branded products upon patent expiry. The complex manufacturing process, a lack of skilled workforce and high development costs translate to a high cost of therapy, which acts as a major barrier to the market.
The report focuses on the significant driving trends and challenges that affect the market and vendor landscape. It analyzes corporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) developments and discusses emerging technologies related to the market.
The report concludes with an analysis of the competitive landscape, which provides the ranking and share of key players in the global biologic therapeutic drug market. It also has a section dedicated to company profiles that covers such details as overview, key financials, product portfolio and recent developments of key market players.
