Launch of new biosimilars in the region is one of the key factors anticipated to fuel market growth in the near future. For instance, in September 2019, Celltrion, Inc. launched a gastric and breast cancer biosimilar, Herzuma, in Iraq.

The company is preparing for the launch of biosimilars in other gulf countries, such as Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Morocco. The biosimilar has gained about 80% market share in Morocco and is also distributed to various public health institutions in Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

In some low- and middle-income MEA countries, the medium availability of biosimilars can be attributed to various factors, such as absence of an assertive & proactive approach to establish infrastructure for biologic products, lack of awareness about various treatment pathways leading to low biosimilar uptake, and a robust regulatory framework that assures the approval of safe & efficacious biosimilars.
