Introduction
Cancer is second leading cause of deaths globally which took close to 9.6 Mn lives in 2018. Almost 46% of people died due to cancer were 70 years or older, whereas over 70% of the people died in low-middle income countries. The developed regions such as North America and Western Europe have very good resources to fight with this disease. Whereas many other countries don’t have enough resources to fully fight the disease due to its huge treatment cost and other factors. The two factors mentioned above such as high fatality rate in older people as well as in low-middle income countries show a very worrying trend. The financial strain of treatment both on government budgets as well as on people is a very big factor behind emergence and more R&D in Biosimilars. Globally the market is expected to increase by 10-12% y-o-y till 2025.
