Biosimilars | Market Events and Forecast | Ophthalmology | 2023
In 2021, sales of branded biologics in ophthalmology totaled more than $9 billion in the major pharmaceutical markets (United States, EU5, and Japan). Throughout our 2021-2031 forecast period, the reference brands Lucentis (ranibizumab) and Eylea (aflibercept) are set to lose patent protection, and biosimilars will enter the market and erode both patient share and drug prices. We present our forecasts for these key reference brands and their biosimilars by molecule and country / region.
