Who Are the Major Contributors to the Pharmaceutical Quality Control Market Growth?
The rising demand for biosimilars is expected to propel the growth of the pharmaceutical quality control market going forward. Biosimilars refer to biologic medical products that are highly similar to an already approved reference biologic, with no clinically meaningful differences in terms of safety, purity, and potency. The rising demand for biosimilars is primarily due to the expiration of patents on original biologic drugs, enabling more affordable alternatives to become available in the market. Pharmaceutical quality control ensures the safety, purity, and consistency of biosimilars by rigorously testing them against reference biologics, thereby supporting regulatory compliance and market approval. For instance, in January 2023, Cardinal Health Inc., a US-based healthcare company, reported that as of January 2022, there were 33 FDA-approved biosimilar products in the US, with 21 available on the market. By 2023, this figure had risen to 40 FDA-approved biosimilars, with 25 commercially available. Therefore, the rising demand for biosimilars is driving the growth of the pharmaceutical quality control market.
