Global Biopharmaceuticals Market Size (2024 to 2029)

As per our research report, the global biopharmaceuticals market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period. The market size was worth USD 250.50 billion in 2024 and is forecasted to be worth USD 389.15 billion by 2029.

Disease treatment techniques have been revolutionized using biopharmaceuticals or biologics because of their efficiency against autoimmune diseases & cancer and better mode of action. Therefore, the healthcare industry is expected to shift from traditional small-molecule drugs to Biopharmaceuticals.

Global Biopharmaceuticals Market Drivers:

The growing number of patients suffering from chronic diseases and the increasing geriatric population prone to neurodegenerative and autoimmune disorders are driving the biopharmaceutical market growth. The number of diagnoses with various chronic diseases is growing with each year passing. Every year, many people worldwide experience disability or death. Cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and arthritis are considered the major chronic diseases by the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC). According to the same source, an estimated 859,000 Americans die yearly from CVDs. More than 37.3 million people in the United States have diabetes, and the number is growing consistently with each year passing. Cancer has been causing the second-highest number of deaths in the United States annually. An estimated 1.7 million people are diagnosed with cancer in the United States. As mentioned above, the growing incidence of chronic diseases among people promotes the need for biopharmaceuticals and results in global market growth. There is a massive demand for biopharmaceuticals due to the increasing incidence of chronic diseases whose treatment is possible using these drugs.

In addition, the other major drivers contributing to the growth of the global biopharmaceuticals market are the increased global geriatric population and the rise in the prevalence of chronic conditions. Furthermore, an increase in the occurrence of vulnerable diseases such as cancer and diabetes, growth in obesity and sedentary lifestyle among the population, and growing acceptance of biopharmaceuticals due to their ability to treat previously untreatable diseases are further significantly driving the market growth. According to WHO, cancer is the leading cause of death globally, and diabetic patients are also increasing daily due to lifestyle changes. In addition, a sedentary lifestyle leads to several chronic diseases, thus boosting the market growth. Biopharmaceuticals hold the potential to cure the disease entirely and not just the symptoms, hence increasing its acceptance.

Global Biopharmaceuticals Market Restraints:

Side effects associated with the over-consumption of drugs and the high manufacturing cost hamper the biopharmaceuticals market growth. High costs associated with the drug development process are significant restraints to the biopharmaceutical market. In addition, the threat of drug failure and challenging developments affects market growth. With a price of 100 million USD, it generally takes 5 to 9 years to develop a biopharmaceutical product. This regulatory framework for establishment takes a lot of work and patience. Furthermore, the World Health Organization (WHO) also has set strict approval standards for biopharmaceuticals, which is further estimated to restrict the growth scope of the market to some extent.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global biopharmaceuticals market:

COVID-19 has had a mixed impact on the biopharmaceutical market. The disruptive effects of COVID-19 have placed enormous strain on the global supply of pharmaceutical products, biologics, and biological preparations. Manufacturing devices and preparative materials, such as API, faced a supply shortage due to the COVID-19 crisis. Most materials and devices are expected to be delivered on time but are affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As most manufacturers are from China, this affected the market growth in all other countries and slowed production. The pandemic crisis, still going on, impacted research and developmental activities. Many organizations have held the funds. Researchers, scientists, doctors, and other staff are the most affected set of people by COVID-19. However, the growth rate of the biopharmaceutical market is expected to accelerate as most market participants will be entirely involved in developing the vaccine for COVID-19 shortly.

This research report on the global biopharmaceuticals market segmented and sub-segmented into the following categories and analyzed market size and forecast for each segment.

Global Biopharmaceuticals Market – By Product Type:

  • Monoclonal Antibodies (mAb)       
  • Erythropoietin       
  • Biotech Vaccines  
  • Recombinant Human (RH) Insulin 
  • Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)       
  • Interferon               
  • Human Growth Hormones (HGH)  

Based on the product type, the monoclonal antibodies segment had the largest worldwide market share in 2023 and is estimated to hold a major share of the global market during the forecast period. Monoclonal antibodies are the most emerging technology. Monoclonal antibodies are identical to immune cells and represent a copy of the unique parent cell. Monoclonal antibodies alone contribute 40% of the global biopharmaceutical market.

The recombinant human (RH) insulin segment is estimated to hold a considerable share of the worldwide market during the forecast period owing to the regulation of the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and protein by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood into the liver, fat, and skeletal muscle cells. In addition, it was the first biopharmaceutical approved for human therapeutic uses.

Global Biopharmaceuticals Market - By Therapeutic Type:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious diseases
  • Diabetes
  • Oncology
  • Cardiovascular
  • Other Therapeutic Areas

In terms of therapeutic application, the oncology segment was the largest in the biopharmaceutical market in 2023. Biopharmaceuticals are mainly working on cancer-related trials compared to others. Many people who have cancer need personalized treatment and diagnostic procedures. Utilizing personalized anticancer biopharmaceuticals effectively controls and prevents cancer with fewer side effects and increases the life span of cancer patients. Biopharmaceuticals also work on macro molecules-based therapeutic drugs. Protein-based biopharmaceuticals are also used to increase the lives of millions of cancer patients.

On the other hand, segments such as diabetes and CVDs are anticipated to showcase a healthy CAGR in the coming years. Biopharmaceuticals are also responsible for the treatment and drug innovation of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. In 2021, diabetes will be the ninth leading cause of death in the world. It is estimated that 1.7 million people have died of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is the most common disease in many people. These biopharmaceutical companies are researching drugs, vaccines, and insulins for the fast reduction of diabetes levels in patients without any side effects.

Global Biopharmaceuticals Market - By Region:

  • North America
  • Europe
  • Asia Pacific
