1. Overview 1.1 Statement of Report The pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries continue to be energetic, lucrative and growing segments, regardless of the slow ongoing recovery from worldwide economic problems. There are more than 10,000 therapeutics in R&D, both drugs (chemical substance pharmaceuticals) and biopharmaceuticals (biotechnology-derived pharmaceuticals), with 41,000 ongoing clinical trials. Among these, approximately 40% or more than 4,000 to 5,000 candidate products in R&D are biopharmaceuticals. This is a significant increase from as short as five years ago and indicates a basic shift in the pharmaceutical industry from small molecule drugs to biopharmaceuticals for new, innovative and profitable products. This TriMark report is mainly focused on the development and market potentials of biopharmaceuticals (biologics) and biosimilar drugs. Biopharmaceuticals are being developed by an ever-increasing number of companies, including Big Pharma and even generic drug companies, with many of these focused on developing biosimilars. As biopharmaceuticals are becoming important part of the pharmaceutical industry, several new firms are entering the field and existing manufacturers are expanding their bioprocessing capacity. While focused on cost-saving efforts, these biopharmaceutical firms are outsourcing many support and even critical tasks. The recent global economic downturn has done very little damage to the biopharmaceutical industry and there are now clear signs of real growth. Companies have started spending more in R&D and also are increasing their bioprocessing capacity. The global market for biopharmaceuticals is now nearly $145 billion; growing at about 15% annually, definitely a very healthy rate. Launching of new products continue to support global market growth. The global market for recombinant protein therapeutics has exceeded the $100 billion/year landmark. The impressive high growth rate in biopharmaceutical markets will continue to bring in investment in the industry, including at the expense of traditional small molecule drug developers. Larger companies are now paying attention to in-house manufacturing capacity instead of outsourcing their R&D and other tasks. Biopharmaceutical firms in many emerging economies that are serving their domestic, regional or lesser-regulated international markets are witnessing rapid growth. Despite the fact that majority of drugs (mostly generics) are now being manufactured in China and India, no Asian country yet manufactures biopharmaceutical products marketed in the U.S. or the European Union (E.U.). South Korea is another country that has the potential to become one of the manufacturing centers of biopharmaceuticals. Nowadays, Ireland has become the choice for large companies to build their biopharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. 1.2 About this Report This study first describes the existing and projected markets for pharmaceuticals in general, encompassing regional and country-wise trends.

1.4 Objectives Between 2009 and 2015, the pharmaceutical industry is facing the largest and most unexpected loss of revenue in history. During this period, about 18 of the top 20 blockbuster drugs are losing patent protection, causing losses for almost all the big pharmaceutical firms. This period provides unlimited opportunities for the generics to flood the market and garner a larger share in almost all the geographical segments of the market. Lipitor, Plavix, Singulair, Seroquel, Actos, Lexapro and Zyprexa lost the patent protection in 2011 and 2012 and other drugs will be losing the protection between 2013 and 2019. Biologics are medicines of large complex molecules manufactured through cell culture recombinant DNA technology and comprise recombinant insulin, growth hormone and monoclonal antibodies for treating conditions such as cancer and autoimmunity. The manufacture, testing and quality control of biologics is an expensive process, and therefore they represent some of the most expensive pharmaceutical products. However, they represented 16% of global pharmaceutical spending, with sales value reaching about $158 billion in 2012. Just as generics are to branded drugs, biosimilars are to biologics and adoption of biosimilars can effectively bring down the healthcare expenditure significantly. Currently, the biosimilars market is relatively small focused only on a small number of diseases; but the market has been predicted to grow substantially particularly in the U.S. and the developing economies such as Brazil and South Korea. The U.S. is an important market representing about 60% of the potential market that biosimilars firms need to tap into in the coming years. Faced with patent expiries, the pharmaceutical industry, generics and biotech firms are turning, for future revenues, to biosimilars. Thus, this report discusses in detail, the various strategies adopted by the pharmaceutical manufacturing firms to retain their market shares, expand their sphere of influence in different market segments and excel in their performance. 1.5 Methodology The author of this report is a retired college professor with more than three decades of experience in teaching, biochemistry, biochemical pharmacology, biotechnology, genetics and cell biology.

1.6 Executive Summary The biopharmaceutical market keeps on expanding. There are now over 10,000 therapeutic candidates in R&D and about 40% of them are biopharmaceuticals. There is a visible trend of a shift towards biopharmaceuticals, with the large traditionally small molecule drug-oriented Big Pharma firms shifting their focus on biopharmaceuticals. For these firms, biopharmaceuticals offer higher sales and profits per sale. The global biopharmaceutical market is now about $145 billion per year. The biopharmaceutical market continues to increase globally, with a CAGR of about 15% to 18%, making biopharmaceuticals a fairly recession-proof, growing and profitable industry. Biotech drugs are anticipated to grow two to three times faster than the pharmaceutical market as a whole. Industry experts have estimated that there will be $50 billion in patent expiries of biologic drugs by 2015, and 90% of today’s biotech drugs will be off-patent by 2020. Sensing the market potential of biologics the larger global companies have declared programs to produce innovative drugs, biosimilars or follow-on biologics in all the major classes. Totally, 174 biologic drugs are available in the global market and among them 63 are proteins, 51 are antibodies and 160 are vaccines. Protein-based drugs are a fast growing class on the pharmaceutical market, with thousands of candidates in development. Five of the top ten prescription drugs in 2012 were biologics. AbbVie’s Humira (monoclonal antibody $8.1 billion), Amgen’s Enbrel (monoclonal antibody $7.3 billion), Johnson & Johnson/ Merck’s Remicade (monoclonal antibody $7.1 billion), Sanofi-Aventis’ Lantus (long-acting basal insulin $6.2 billion), and IDEC’s MabThera (chimeric monoclonal antibody $5.9 billion) took the first four places in the global prescription drugs market.

The global demand for recombinant proteins now exceeds $100 billion, and the industry reached this milestone two years ago in 2011. The market for recombinant monoclonal antibodies alone now stands at about $45 billion and this represents approximately 40% of the recombinant protein market and 31% of total biopharmaceuticals market. The antibodies are usually very specific in their action, do not cause severe side effects and therefore well-received in the market. As many new monoclonal antibodies have reached the final stage of clinical trials that will be available for expanded indications. The earliest approved monoclonal antibody was muromonab-CD3 in 1986. Yet, the monoclonal antibodies became financially viable only after the approval of rituximab, palivizumab, infliximab and trastuzumab in the late 1990s. Technologies in genetic engineering enabled the synthesis of these highly successful biologic products. Global market for monoclonal antibodies was about $50 billion in 2012 and it is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 8% through 2016. These biologics are mostly used in cancer therapies and the leading players in this sector are Roche, Abbott, Johnson & Johnson and Merck. Biosimilars have also increased in number and gained importance. Presently, the markets for approved biosimilars in Europe remain relatively small, only about $300 million for a dozen products, generally no more than 10% of the market for the established reference product. The utilization and market penetration of biosimilars has been slowly increasing, as E.U. member and other countries have started implementing their own cost-controls and recommendations for biosimilars use, and as these countries’ health care systems adopt these products. Howsoever, unlike Europe, utilization and market penetration by biosimilars in the U.S. is likely to be more rapid, upon approval, with private sector insurers expected to rapidly adopt and require use of biosimilars wherever possible. Therefore, it is reasonable to predict that biosimilars will have a global market of several billion dollars over the next few years. Many more companies are entering the biosimilars industry and all these firms are most likely to bring in many other new products. Thus, biosimilars will only be fracturing the markets for successful biopharmaceuticals coming off-patent. As of April 2012, there were more than 435 biopharmaceutical drugs cleared in the U.S. and European markets, including 166 recombinant proteins and 43 monoclonal antibodies. There were 283 biologics cleared in both the U.S. and Europe, including 117 recombinant proteins and 33 monoclonal antibodies. There are a minimum of 50 biologic drug candidates with FDA applications either pending or expected within coming months. The U.S. accounts for approximately half of global biopharmaceutical sales. Thus, U.S. sales of biologic drugs have been estimated to be in the range of $70 to $75 billion annually. The U.S. economy and health care system can afford to support adoption of new biopharmaceuticals. The same is not true for other major market countries, where cost-conscious centralized government control of pharmaceutical markets, e.g., U.K., can lead to reluctance to adopt certain biologics which are quite expensive. Growth in most of the rest of the world seems to be propelled more by overall economic improvement, including the development of a middle class, and other broad economic and social trends supporting improved health care in these countries. The most important class of biopharmaceuticals showing the fastest growth in market revenue is recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies have become well-entrenched in the marketplace, having proven to be effective therapeutics candidates since the mid-1990s. Quite a large number of mAb products are blockbusters, with many of these used for cancer treatment.
