New Report Suggests that Roche is Less Exposed to Biosimilars than Amgen

Excluding Mabthera, Roche’s other brands will face biosimilar competition only after 2019. As a result, the company will suffer most of its brand erosion post-2020.
 
Noida, Uttar pardesh, India (PRBD.net) 11/29/2011 12:00:00 AM - In 2020, Roche, the world's largest biotech company and global investor in R&D is expected to lose US sales worth $2.5 billion as a result of biosimilar competition. IMARC Group, one of the world’s leading research and advisory firms, in its new report “Biosimilar/Follow-on Biologics Market Report & Forecast: A Focus on the US (2011-2020)” finds that five of the Roche’s blockbuster biologicals (Avastin, Herceptin, Mabthera, Lucentis and Xolair) face biosimilar competition during 2011-2020. Projections from the report that are based on an extensive primary and secondary research suggest that the combined sales of these five drugs will decline from $10.7 billion in 2010 to $8.2 billion in 2020.

Despite this significant decline, Roche is still expected to be much better off than some of its other peers such as Amgen - atleast in the short term. Findings from the study suggest the excluding Mabthera, the company’s other four brands will face biosimilar competition only during 2019-2020. As a result, Roche will suffer most of its brand erosion post-2020. The study finds that unlike Roche, Amgen is expected to witness biosimilar competition in all four of its brands (Enbrel, Epogen, Neupogen, and Neulasta) during 2013-2015. Projections From the report suggest that the combined sales of these four products will reduce from $10.6 billion in 2010 to just $1.4 billion in 2020.

IMARC’s new report entitled “Biosimilar/Follow-on Biologics Market Report & Forecast: A Focus on the US (2011-2020)” provides an analytical and statistical insight into the US biosimilar market. The study, that has been undertaken using desk-based as well as qualitative primary research, provides and draws upon analysis of six aspects of the US biosimilar market.

Key Aspects Analyzed:

Evaluating the Current Market Landscape of Biosimilars:
• Identification of currently marketed biosimilars and their historical performance
• Identifying the reasons for the slow uptake of currently marketed biosimilars
• Analyzing historical data to formulate conclusions on the future growth and market trends of biosimilars

Evaluating the Extent of Price, Sales and Volume Erosions Caused by Biosimilars:
• Analyzing historical time series data on price, volume and sales erosion in the US & Europe
• Analyzing previous models and assumptions on price and volume erosion caused by biosimilars
• Evaluating and comparing price and volume erosion created by biosimilars vis-a-vis by small molecule generics
• Evaluating and comparing price, volume and sales erosion by biosimilars across various biological classes

Evaluating the Market Potential of Biosimilars Across Various Molecules:
Molecules Covered: Somatropin (Genotropin/Humatrope/Other HGH), Epoetin Alfa (Epogen/Eprex), Filgrastim (Neupogen), Pegfilgrastim (Neulasta), Insulin Lispro (Humalog), Insulin Glargine (Lantus), Insulin Detemir (Levemir), Interferon Beta-1A (Avonex), Interferon Beta-1A (Rebif), Interferon Beta-1B (Betaferon), Bevacizumab (Avastin), Trastuzumab (Herceptin), Rituximab (Mabthera/Rituxan), Cetuximab (Erbitux), Etanercept (Enbrel), Infliximab (Remicade), Adalimumab (Humira), Ranibizumab (Lucentis), Omalizumab (Xolair) and Natalizumab (Tysabri).

Focus of the Analysis for Each Molecule:
• Historical background and overview
• Historical brand sales
• Patent position
• Competing products
• Biosimilars in pipeline
• Brand and biosimilar sales forecasts

Evaluating the Sales of Biosimilars across Various Indications:
Indications Covered: Immunology & Inflammation, Diabetes, Oncology, Blood Disorders and Growth Deficiency
Focus of the Analysis for Each Indication:
