North America is expected to be the dominant market over the forecast period. U.S. FDA approved first biosimilar in 2015, almost a decade later than first biosimilar approval in Europe. However, since 2015, the number of approved products has increased rapidly. This is expected to be factor for growth of the market in North America. Moreover, currently there are number of products in pipeline, which may receive approval from the FDA over the forecast period. For instance, Pfizer Inc. — a U.S.-based company — has three biosimilar products (i.e. PF-05280014, PF-05280586 and PF-06439535) for oncology in Phase 3.

Europe market is also expected to witness rapid growth over the forecast period. This is due to expected launch of major products in the market over the forecast period. Europe-based leading generic manufacturers such as Sandoz (a Novartis International AG’s division) and Mylan N.V. has shown interest in this field. Mylan N.V. has entered into a collaboration agreement with Biocon Limited to develop biosimilars in 2009. The duo got approval for their first biosimilar product in 2017 in U.S. and also, European Medicines Agency (EMA) has accepted resubmission for their Herceptin biosimilar in the same year. With increasing number of approved products, the oncology biosimilars market is expected to witness significant growth in the region over the forecast period.
