Global Biologics Market Size (2024 to 2029)

As per our analysis report, the global biologics market size was worth USD 314.46 billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit an 8.1% CAGR from 2024 to 2029. The market is estimated to be worth USD 501.78 billion by 2029 from USD 339.93 billion in 2024.

Global Biologics Market Drivers:

The global biologics market growth is driven by the factors such as government initiatives to develop innovative techniques, Y-O-Y growth in the incidence of chronic diseases, growing healthcare expenditure, and rising prevalence to promote excellent treatment procedures. The increasing acceptability of innovative therapies and rising demand for biological drugs with an increasing number of patent expiries are expected to favor the market's growth rate. Biologics have broad applications in targeted therapies and help treat various medical conditions when treatments are unavailable. In addition, gene-based and cellular biologics are major elements in biomedical research, which is expected to be favorable to the market's growth rate.

In addition, the rising scale of pharmaceutical companies worldwide and the growing initiatives of government organizations to spread awareness among people over the availability of treatment procedures for targeted diseases are further positively influencing the growth rate of the biologics market. Also, oral products have increased efficacy for various diseases such as Crohn's and rheumatoid arthritis, pulling patients to adopt novel treatment procedures. This is enhancing the growth rate of the biologics market eventually. Furthermore, the rising geriatric population and increasing prominence to lower the cost of treatment procedures are also urging the biologics market growth. Also, people's preference for pills rather than injections is increasing the market's growth rate. Technological advancements are also expanding the growth rate of the market. For instance, Eli Lilly and Pfizer adopted Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) platform to conduct simulation models more effectively in early drug discovery.

Furthermore, launching innovative therapies with the latest technologies is anticipated to set growth opportunities for the market. Reduction in the demand for small molecule drug R&D activities is expected to promote the biologics market growth shortly.

Global Biologics Market Restraints:

Lack of awareness regarding the utilization of biologics in the research centers and the complex regulatory structure by the government in approving new products are some of the major factors hindering the market's growth rate. In addition, long-term use of biologics leads to specific problems such as changes in blood pressure, gastrointestinal complications, and breathing problems, slowly hampering the market's demand. Furthermore, supervising treatment procedures with biologics requires advanced technologies. This is quietly to restrain the biologics market growth during the forecast period. Furthermore, the absence of skilled people in laboratories to analyze the outcome limits the biologics market's growth rate. The high cost of installing and maintaining laboratory devices impedes market growth. Furthermore, the manufacturing process of biologics drugs is a little complex and remains a significant challenge for the market to grow. Less turnover for clinical trials is declining the growth rate of the biologics market.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global biologics market:

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted almost every sector in an unprecedented way. The novel coronavirus has been spreading rapidly since the WHO declared it a pandemic. Most people infected by COVID-19 have mild symptoms such as cold, cough, fever, and loss of smell or taste. However, it may yield severe heart failure symptoms, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and others for older people aged 65 to 70. As a result, the Biologics market has a declining growth rate in the initial months of 2020. The market was valued at USD 249 billion in 2019, where it dropped to USD 239 billion in 2020. The primary reason for the declined growth rate is to lock down restrictions and ban flights. As the treatment procedures using biologics are postponed or canceled, the market shares have reduced suddenly. As a result, the number of patients infected with the coronavirus and getting treatment with biologics is significantly less. This is a significant factor for the market's slow growth rate in 2020. All the activities were resumed in the hospitals and clinics by taking specific measures. All the postponed treatment procedures were resumed in the last months of 2020, along with the treatment procedures using biologics.

REPORT COVERAGE:

This research report on the global biologics market has been segmented and sub-segmented based on source, product, biologics manufacturing type, disease category, and region.

Global Biologics Market – By Source: 

• Microbial
• Mammalian
• Others

Based on the source, the microbial segment accounted for the largest share of the worldwide biologics market in 2023 and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is because scientists have found various beneficial applications that can be derived from microbial source biologics.

On the other hand, the mammalian segment had a considerable share of the worldwide market in 2023 and is expected to grow at a reasonable CAGR during the forecast period. This is because scientists are doing more research in this field, and soon this source will have the same market share as microbial.

Global Biologics Market – By Product:

• Monoclonal Antibodies
• Vaccines
• Recombinant Proteins
• Antisense, RNAi, & Molecular Therapy
• Others

Based on the product, the monoclonal antibodies segment dominated the biologics market in terms of share in 2023 and is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR during the forecast period owing to their higher usage in different therapeutic areas. Monoclonal antibodies allow the targeting of unhealthy cells without harming healthy cells. These drugs benefit cancer management and treat autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis.
