ASDReports.com cites in its newly published “Expanding Markets for Biologics and Biosimilars” report that the global biologic drugs market will jump to over $220 billion by 2019.
Biologics, also known as biopharmaceuticals, can be categorized into three main modalities: therapeutic proteins, monoclonal antibodies and vaccines. Most of the biologic drugs marketed so far are recombinant therapeutic protein drugs, which are used to relieve patients suffering from chronic diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, infertility and cystic fibrosis.
