Biopharmaceuticals Growing Twice as Fast as Pharmaceuticals

Sept. 4, 2012 - PRLog -- IMARC Group, one of the world's leading research and advisory firms, finds in its new report “Global Biopharmaceutical Market Report & Forecast: 2012-2017” that with a share of nearly 48%, the US represents the world’s biggest biopharmaceutical market. Findings from the report suggest that although the growth of biopharmaceuticals in the country has declined in recent years, the market is still growing twice as fast as the pharmaceutical market.

The report which has done a comprehensive qualitative and quantitative analysis on the global biopharmaceutical market, finds that recombinant proteins currently dominate the US biopharmaceutical market with insulin representing the biggest class in this segment. Monoclonal antibodies, however, represent the most lucrative segment in the US biopharmaceutical market with its total sales growing at a CAGR of nearly 17% during 2005 - 2011.

Findings from the report,  which has done an in-depth analysis of the competitive landscapes of all major biopharmaceutical markets, finds that there are currently more than  50 biopharmaceutical companies operating in the US with Amgen being the biggest player. Roche currently represents the fastest growing biopharmaceutical player in the US and is expected to overtake Amgen over the next few years.
