Biopharmaceuticals are large molecule and complex drugs which are mainly obtained from proteins and nucleic acids derived from live organisms. They are usually administered by intravenous, subcutaneous or intramuscular injections and are more efficient than the conventional small molecule drugs. Biopharmaceuticals have changed the treatment of several diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc., as they can be tailored for individuals according to their specific medical requirements. A new research report by IMARC Group, titled “Biopharmaceutical Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, estimates that the global biopharmaceutical market was worth US$ 185 Billion in 2017, registering a CAGR of 8% during 2010-2017. The report further anticipates the market to reach a value of US$ 285 Billion by 2023, at a projected CAGR of 7% during 2018-2023.

Global Biopharmaceutical Market Drivers/Constraints:
- Biopharmaceuticals are structurally similar to human compounds which increases the potential of these drugs to cure diseases rather than merely treat the symptoms. This has created a positive demand for biopharmaceuticals across the globe.
- In comparison to conventional drugs, biopharmaceuticals have fewer side effects due to their specificity. Additionally, these drugs can be altered according to the medical requirements of the patients which has increased their demand, thereby propelling the market growth.
- Growth in the geriatric population along with a rise in the expenditure on healthcare induced by inflating per capita incomes is anticipated to fuel the biopharmaceuticals market growth.
- There are several factors that hinder the market growth such as high production costs, lack of developed cold-chain infrastructure, stringent approval laws, impending patent expiries of these drugs and supply chain complexity.
Indication Insights:
