Market Events and Forecast | Ophthalmology | US/EU5 | 2021
In 2019, sales of branded biologics in ophthalmology reached almost $9 billion in the major pharmaceutical markets (United States, EU5, and Japan). Throughout our 2019-2029 forecast period, reference brands Lucentis (ranibizumab) and Eylea (aflibercept) are set to lose patent protection; biosimilars will enter the market and erode both patient share and drug prices. We present our forecasts for these two key reference brands and their biosimilars by molecule and region.
