世界の特殊ジェネリック医薬品市場規模は2023年に747億米ドルに達しました。今後、IMARCグループは、2024年から2032年にかけて9.4%の成長率(CAGR)を示し、2032年までに1,725億米ドルに達すると予測しています。能力、リソース、市場でのプレゼンスを活用することを目的とした戦略的提携の増加、オンライン薬局や遠隔医療プラットフォームの進化、政府のイニシアチブの増加は、市場を推進する主な要因の一部です。
特殊ジェネリック医薬品とは、高コストの先発スペシャリティ医薬品のジェネリック医薬品を指します。これらの医薬品は、がん、関節リウマチ、多発性硬化症、HIVなどの複雑な慢性疾患の治療に使用されます。従来のジェネリック医薬品との違いは、一般的に生物学的製剤であること、特別な取り扱いや投与を必要とすること、注射剤であることが多いこと、限られたネットワークを通じて流通することが多いことです。特殊なジェネリック医薬品の開発には、関連する分子の複雑な性質やその製造に使用される複雑なプロセスのために、独特の課題があります。その結果、従来のジェネリック医薬品と比較して、規制当局による承認審査が厳しくなる可能性があります。さらに、特殊ジェネリックはヘルスケアにおいて計り知れない可能性を秘めています。ジェネリック医薬品は、患者にとって重要な治療法へのアクセスを低コストで提供するとともに、ヘルスケアシステムの財政負担を軽減します。
オンライン薬局や遠隔医療プラットフォームなどの高度な流通チャネルの進化も、特殊ジェネリック医薬品市場の成長を後押ししています。こうしたチャネルは医薬品へのアクセスを容易にし、遠隔地の患者でも必要な医薬品を入手できるようにします。これに伴い、政府のヘルスケアプログラムや民間の支払者は、高騰する医療費を抑制するための戦略を継続的に模索しています。ジェネリック医薬品、特に特殊ジェネリック医薬品の使用を重視することは、主要な戦略です。そのため、いくつかの政府や保険会社では、ジェネリック医薬品が入手可能な場合はその処方を奨励または義務付けており、これが需要を促進しています。さらに、より手頃な価格である特殊ジェネリック医薬品は、地域の多くの人々にとって好ましい選択肢となっており、必要不可欠な治療がより多くの人々の手の届く範囲にあることを保証しています。このことが市場を大きく支えています。これとは別に、よりニッチで特殊な症状向けのジェネリック医薬品の生産も市場に貢献しています。さらに、提携企業の能力、リソース、市場でのプレゼンスを活用することを目的とした戦略的提携が、市場の前向きな見通しを生み出しています。
手頃な価格のヘルスケアソリューションに対する需要の高まり
世界人口の増加が続き、非感染性疾患(NCDs)の負担が拡大する中、手頃な価格のヘルスケアソリューションを提供することが強く求められています。特殊ジェネリック医薬品医薬品業界は、このような需要に対応する独自の態勢を整えています。先発医薬品の生物学的同等品である特殊ジェネリック医薬品は、革新的な医薬品の治療効果を低コストで患者やヘルスケアシステムに提供します。さらに、日本、米国、欧州諸国など、さまざまな先進国では人口の高齢化が進み、慢性疾患の発生率が高まっています。これらの疾患は長期にわたる複雑な治療レジメンを必要とすることが多く、個人にとっても国のヘルスケア制度にとっても財政的負担が大きいです。さらに発展途上国では、中流階級の人口が拡大し、高度なヘルスケア・ソリューションへの需要が高まっているため、既存のインフラに負担がかかっています。
ブランド薬の特許切れ
特殊ジェネリック医薬品産業の最も大きな原動力のひとつは、先発医薬品の特許切れです。特許が切れると、他のメーカーがその薬のジェネリック医薬品を製造・販売できるようになります。ジェネリック医薬品の研究開発費は一般的に新薬の研究開発費よりも低いため、ジェネリック医薬品は治療効果を維持しながら、より手頃な価格で販売することができます。毎年、年間売上高が数十億米ドルに上る医薬品が特許保護を失います。これは、ジェネリック医薬品専門メーカーにとって、消費者基盤の整った既存市場を開拓する絶好の機会となります。こうして、これらの医薬品が入手しやすくなることで、より多くの人々、特に低・中所得世帯の人々に恩恵がもたらされ、市場にプラスの影響を与えることになります。
医薬品開発における技術の進歩
特殊ジェネリック医薬品業界は、より広範な医薬品セクターとともに進化しています。これに伴い、医薬品開発・製造における最近の技術進歩は、バイオシミラーなど、以前は製造が困難であったより複雑なジェネリック医薬品の製造を可能にしています。さらに、人工知能や高度な分析手法などのツールにより、これらの医薬品の研究開発(R&D)プロセスが合理化されています。このことは、ジェネリック医薬品専門メーカーが、これまで以上に幅広い疾患や病態に対応できるようになったことを意味します。さらに、製造プロセスの革新により、これらの医薬品が一貫した品質で製造され、世界の規制機関が定める厳格な基準を満たすことが保証されています。その結果、市場にも貢献しています。
The global specialty generics market size reached US$ 74.7 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 172.5 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4% during 2024-2032. The rising number of strategic collaborations aiming to leverage the capabilities, resources, and market presence, the evolution of online pharmacies and telemedicine platforms and increasing government initiatives are some of the major factors propelling the market.
Specialty generics refer to generic versions of high-cost, brand-name specialty drugs. These medications are used to treat complex, chronic conditions such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and HIV. They differ from traditional generics in that they are typically biologic-based, require special handling and administration often injectables, and are often distributed through limited networks. The development of specialty generics presents unique challenges due to the intricate nature of the molecules involved and the complex processes used in their manufacturing. As a result, regulatory pathways for their approval can be more stringent compared to conventional generic drugs. In addition, specialty generics hold immense potential in healthcare. They offer patients access to vital treatments at a reduced cost, while also alleviating the financial burden on healthcare systems.
The evolution of advanced distribution channels, such as online pharmacies and telemedicine platforms, has also propelled the growth of the specialty generics market. These channels facilitate easy access to medications, ensuring patients in even remote locations can obtain the drugs they need. Along with this, government healthcare programs and private payers are continuously seeking strategies to contain escalating healthcare costs. Emphasizing the use of generic drugs, especially specialty generics, is a primary strategy. Therefore, several governments and insurance companies now incentivize or mandate the prescription of generics where available, thereby driving demand. In addition, specialty generics, being more affordably priced, have become the preferred choice for many in regions, ensuring essential treatments are within reach of larger segments of the population. Thus, this is significantly supporting the market. Apart from this, the production of generics for more niche, and specialized conditions is contributing to the market. Moreover, strategic collaborations aiming to leverage the capabilities, resources, and market presence of partnering entities are creating a positive market outlook.
Increasing Demand for Affordable Healthcare Solutions
As the global population continues to rise and the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) expands, there's a significant push to provide affordable healthcare solutions. The specialty generics industry is uniquely poised to address this demand. Specialty generics, which are bioequivalent versions of brand-name drugs, offer patients and healthcare systems the therapeutic efficacy of innovative medicines but at a reduced cost. Additionally, aging populations in various developed countries, such as Japan, the United States, and numerous European nations, are leading to an increased incidence of chronic diseases. These conditions often require prolonged and complex treatment regimens, which can be financially taxing for both individuals and national healthcare systems. Furthermore, in developing nations, the expansion of middle-class populations and their demand for advanced healthcare solutions is putting a strain on existing infrastructures.
Patent Expirations of Branded Drugs
One of the most significant drivers of the specialty generics industry is the expiration of patents for branded drugs. When patents expire, it opens the door for other manufacturers to produce and market generic versions of those medications. Given that research and development (R&D) costs for generics are typically lower than for novel drugs, these medications can be priced more affordably while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. Each year, drugs with billions of dollars in annual sales lose patent protection. This presents a golden opportunity for specialty generic manufacturers to tap into established markets with a ready consumer base. Thus, the accessibility of these medications then benefits the wider population, especially those in low-to-middle-income households, positively influencing the market.
Technological Advancements in Drug Development
The specialty generics industry is evolving with the broader pharmaceutical sector. Along with this, recent technological advancements in drug development and manufacturing are enabling the production of more complex generics, such as biosimilars, which were previously challenging to produce. In addition, tools, such as artificial intelligence and advanced analytical methodologies have streamlined the research and development (R&D) process for these drugs. This means that specialty generic manufacturers now address a broader range of diseases and conditions than ever before. Furthermore, innovations in manufacturing processes are ensuring that these drugs are produced with consistent quality, meeting the rigorous standards set by global regulatory bodies. As a result, it is also contributing to the market.
