Abstract :

Recently, the expiration of patents for a number of blockbuster biologics in EU and US has ushered in an era of the subsequent production of biosimilar products, which might contribute to increased access to these products at an affordable price. However, biopharma sales in these major markets will grow slowly during the next ten years and global pharmaceutical industry is turning to emerging markets such as China, India, Brazil, and Russia for growth and profitability. This presentation will review the patent protections of some blockbuster biologics in pharmerging markets and the potential advantages and obstacles of developing biosimilars in these emerging market.
