Filgrastim biosimilars are biosimilars designed to address bone marrow damage caused by extremely high radiation doses, similar to their use in cancer patients. These biosimilars work by stimulating the production of white blood cells, reducing the susceptibility of patients to infections.
There are two primary manufacturing types for the filgrastim biosimilar market in-house manufacturing and contract manufacturing organization (CMO). A contract manufacturing organization, also known as a contract development and manufacturing organization, is a company that offers comprehensive services to other pharmaceutical firms on a contractual basis, covering activities from drug discovery to drug production. The diverse applications of filgrastim biosimilars include oncology, chronic and autoimmune diseases, blood disorders, growth hormone deficiency, infectious diseases, and others. These products are distributed through various channels, including hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies.
The filgrastim biosimilar markets market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides filgrastim biosimilar markets market statistics, including filgrastim biosimilar markets industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a filgrastim biosimilar markets market share, detailed filgrastim biosimilar markets market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the filgrastim biosimilar markets industry. This filgrastim biosimilar markets market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The filgrastim biosimilars market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.92 billion in 2024 to $0.98 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to emerging markets growth, increase in patent expiration, government initiatives, increased healthcare expenditure, low cost of biosimilars, strong pipeline of drugs and increase in biopharmaceutical r&d expenditure.
The filgrastim biosimilars market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.21 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to aging population, increase in healthcare access. Major trends in the forecast period include investing extensively in R&D activities for the development of effective and innovative biosimilars, production of biosimilars for neutropenia treatment to improve revenues and increasing their focus on M&A growth strategies.
The anticipated growth of the filgrastim biosimilar market is driven by the increasing prevalence of neutropenia. Neutropenia, a condition characterized by insufficient neutrophils, crucial white blood cells in infection defense, can be addressed with filgrastim biosimilars. These biosimilars stimulate neutrophil production in the bone marrow, elevating neutrophil counts and aiding in infection resistance. For example, data from August 2022, sourced from the National Center for Biotechnology Information, revealed neutropenia prevalence rates of 0.38% among Mexican-Americans, 0.79% among whites, and 4.5% among black participants. Consequently, the rising prevalence of neutropenia is a significant factor propelling the filgrastim biosimilar market's growth.
Government initiatives dedicated to biosimilar development are poised to contribute to the filgrastim biosimilar market's expansion in the coming years. Global governments are emphasizing biosimilar development due to its cost-effectiveness. Initiatives such as the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Biosimilar Action Plan and Australia's commitment to the Biosimilar Awareness Initiative highlight a strategic focus on increasing treatment options and promoting biosimilar education. This support, including a $5 million grant from the Australian government to the Generic and Biosimilar Medicines Association, enhances awareness and activities related to biosimilar medicines' dispensing, prescription, and use. Thus, government initiatives play a pivotal role in fostering the growth of the filgrastim biosimilar market.
Prominent firms in the filgrastim biosimilar market are at the forefront of creating innovative products utilizing advanced technologies, such as recombinant DNA technology, to manufacture biosimilars. Recombinant DNA technology involves the creation of hybrid DNA by integrating a foreign sequence into an organism's DNA. For instance, in May 2023, Amneal Pharmaceuticals, a US-based pharmaceutical company, introduced FYLNETRA (pegfilgrastim-pbbk), a biosimilar to Amgen's NEULASTA in the United States. It is indicated for treating and preventing febrile neutropenia, facilitating neutrophil expansion, maturation, and enhanced viability and efficiency. FYLNETRA's launch aims to provide affordable medicines, expanding access for patients, providers, and payors.
Leading companies in the filgrastim biosimilar market continue to innovate with products such as Releuko (filgrastim-ayow) to better address patient needs. Releuko (filgrastim-ayow), referencing Neupogen (filgrastim), is designed for treating and preventing febrile neutropenia in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. In November 2022, Amneal Pharmaceuticals and Kashiv Biosciences, both US-based companies, jointly launched Releuko (filgrastim-ayow) in the US market. Contraindications include patients with a history of serious allergic reactions to human granulocyte colony-stimulating factors. This approval marks Amneal's debut in the biosimilar realm, with more decisions anticipated by year-end.
In March 2022, Biocon Biologics, an India-based fully integrated biopharmaceutical company, completed the acquisition of Viatris Inc. for $3.3 billion, creating a robust, globally integrated biosimilars enterprise. This strategic collaboration leverages the strengths and complementary expertise of both entities, positioning Biocon Biologics for a decade of value generation for stakeholders. Viatris Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical company, has developed a biosimilar of pegfilgrastim.
