Biopharmaceuticals are types of drugs made by extracting proteins and nucleic acids directly from biological sources with the help of biotechnology. Biopharmaceuticals comprise sugars, proteins, nucleic acids, living cells, tissues, and a complex combination of different components. These drugs are widely used in the manufacture and development of vaccines, blood components, body cells and tissues, allergenic, and living cells used in gene therapies, cell therapies, and recombinant therapeutic proteins.

Macro-economic Factors

Government Regulations

Government regulatory authorities such as the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medical Agency are major agencies that authorize and approve biopharmaceutical formulations, which are safe and enhance the efficacy of the treatment.

The European Medical Agency grants marketing authorization to Nuvaxovid, a protein-based vaccine developed from recombinant nanoparticle technology, which is used for combating COVID-19 infection. The increasing regulations and approval of biopharmaceutical formulations from different types of pharmaceutical companies present a key aspect of market growth.

R&D Investment

Major biopharmaceutical companies are actively engaged in R&D by investing hundreds of dollars in several formulations, to meet the rising demand for biopharmaceutical formulations in the market. Biopharmaceutical companies conducted more than nearly 4,400 clinical trials in 2017 and spent more than USD 15 billion on research activities. The continuous R&D investment and ongoing clinical trials by biopharmaceutical companies are likely to create lucrative opportunities in the market.

Healthcare Spending

Healthcare spending in the majority of countries continues to rise across the globe, owing to rising investment in biopharmaceutical formulation. According to the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Association, biopharmaceutical companies spent USD 179 billion in the year 2018, on their R&D activities.

The National Health Expenditure Accounts that the US healthcare spending grew 2.7% in 2021, reaching USD 4.3 trillion per person Government authorities and biopharmaceutical companies spent heavily on the development of vaccines for the safety and efficacy of the drug for the treatment of diseases such as cancer. The increasing spending on the development of vaccines and other biopharmaceutical drugs is a key factor boosting the market.

Biopharmaceutical Market Dynamics

Market Driver- Increase in Elderly Population

People above the age of 80 years are susceptible to illness, as they have low immunity and require a longer time to recover from illness. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2020, the population above 80 years of age was higher than those of children. The elderly population with less immunity has a high chance of developing chronic conditions such as cancer and hypertension.

The WHO reported the incidences of cancer patients will increase by up to USD 27 million in 2030. An increase in chronic conditions among the elderly increases the demand for targeted therapies. Monoclonal antibodies are considered a targeted therapy for treating cancers among the elderly. Thus, an increase in incidences of cancer among the elderly is likely to drive the market.

Market Driver- Growing prevalence of cancer disease

The delayed diagnosis in cancer treatment results in an increase in the number of deaths among cancer patients. According to the WHO, cancer disease among patients accounted for nearly USD 10 million deaths in 2020. The mortality rate among cancer patients can decrease with early diagnosis and accurate treatment. Thus, the protein-based vaccine is used as a targeted therapy for the treatment of cancer diseases.

The increase in therapeutic efficacy offered by protein-based cancer vaccines directly targets cancer, which reduces death among cancer patients and enhances the quality of treatment. Thus, growing cases of cancer diseases boost the demand for biopharmaceutical formulations in the market.

Market Driver- Technological advancement

Biopharmaceutical drugs are extracted or semi-synthesized from biological sources such as human, animals, and micro-organisms. The production of biopharmaceutical drugs is a complex and time-consuming procedure. Thus, biopharmaceutical companies have adopted several technological and automation in the production process. Regeneron Pharmaceutical Inc introduced VelociSuite technologies, which improved the manufacturing process of human monoclonal antibodies.

Furthermore, the company launched a molecular vaccine technology center in 2021, which develops molecular vaccines for the treatment of cancer. This increases the adoption of technologies in the manufacturing of biopharmaceutical formulation, which is expected to propel the market.

Market Restraint- Less availability of skilled labors

Biopharmaceutical formulations are developed by the extraction process and recombinant DNA technologies. The production of biopharmaceutical medication requires skilled resources and technical expertise, owing to its complexity involved the production of biopharmaceutical.

Increasing cases of COVID-19 boosts the demand for biopharmaceutical companies. Limited availability of skilled resources, at manufacturing facilities, results in a shortage of biopharmaceutical drugs required for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. This, in turn, is limiting the market.

Market Opportunity- Rising Investments in Research & Development  

Companies in the biopharmaceutical sector invest in research & development activities for the production of safe and advanced medication such as monoclonal antibodies and vaccine development. According to the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Association, biopharmaceutical companies spent USD 179 billion on R&D in 2018. An increase in R&D spending boosts the sale of biopharmaceutical products in the market.

For instance, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. built the Molecular Vaccines Technology Center in 2021, a research platform for the development of molecular vaccines for oncology and infectious diseases. Thus, an increase in investment in such molecular vaccines center is expected to drive the market.
