Biosimilars/Biobetters Pipeline Database - Top Level Data (3/8/2016)

  • total product entries = 1357
  • total pipeline products (biosimilars + biobetters) = 1219
  • biosimilars = 737
  • biobetters = 482
  • ref. products = 137
  • biogenerics (in dev. countries) = ~200 (classed as biosimilars)
The database only covers recombinant proteins and a few other protein products.  Biosimilar and biobetter U.S. and EU launchable dates (patent expiration and data and market exclusivity expirations) are reported for all >130 reference products are reported in BIOPHARMA, "The Reference Products Reference."  Note, in addition to the over 730 biosimilars reported in the pipeline , nearly 200 "biogenerics" in non- and lesser-regulated international commerce are identified and loosely classed at this top level as "biosimilars."

Near-term economic impact includes over 40, nearly all recombinant, mostly monoclonal antibody, products with over $1 billion/year sales, and about 20 others with sales over $500 million/year. 

Follow-on products containing rather (bio)similar active agents are classed as either biosimilar (much the same, including approvable as biosimilars) or biobetter (too different to be approved as a biosimilar).  There are still relatively few genuine biosimilars (by US/EU standards), i.e., products approved by a formal biosimilar mechanism, mostly in Europe.  Biogenerics are the subset of biosimilars primarily oriented to lesser-regulated, developing country markets.  The great majority of biogenerics are currently marketeted internationally, with their development pipeline rather small compared to major market-oriented biosimilars.


Note, multiple companies can be involved with each product.
