The pegfilgrastim biosimilars market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for pegfilgrastim biosimilars has experienced substantial growth recently. It is projected to escalate from $1.56 billion in 2024 to $1.8 billion in 2025, signifying a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.3%.
Factors driving growth during the historic period include the rising prevalence of cancer, governmental actions, enhanced spending on healthcare, increased R&D expenditure in the biopharmaceutical sector, affordable biosimilars costs, and significant penetration of biosimilar drugs.
The pegfilgrastim biosimilars market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the next few years, the pegfilgrastim biosimilars market is projected to undergo a swift expansion, escalating to a market worth of $3.44 billion by 2029, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 17.5%.
This accelerated growth during the forecast period is anticipated due to factors such as the increasing incidence of cancer, an aging population, growing approval numbers, as well as targets and incentives. The forthcoming period is expected to witness trends such as the utilization of lenient regulations to create advanced biosimilars, heavy investment in R&D for the creation of effective and novel biologics, the emphasis on cultivating strategic alliances with prominent industry players to broaden their R&D efforts in new drug development as well as an augmented concentration on M&A strategies to boost their customer base and geographical markets. Moreover, the rising focus on biosimilar production for neutropenia will contribute to increased revenue and product diversity.
Efforts by governments towards the advancement of biosimilars are projected to fuel the growth of the pegfilgrastim biosimilars market. Owing to their cost-effectiveness, biosimilars are being prioritized for development by governments globally. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initiated a Biosimilar Action Plan, aiming to enhance treatment alternatives. The Australian government, on the other hand, is firmly invested in the Biosimilar Awareness Initiative, and they bolstered this commitment by granting $5 million to the Generic and Biosimilar Medicines Association to welcome enhanced overall biosimilar education and activities that foster appropriate dispensing, prescription, and utilization of biosimilar medicines. Thus, these government-led developments in biosimilars contribute to boosting awareness and production, which directly aids in the expansion of the pegfilgrastim biosimilars market.

Strategic collaborations are being used by companies in the pegfilgrastim biosimilar market to enhance their product innovation. With the market becoming more competitive, companies are taking innovative steps and sharing their knowledge and expertise with others to stay ahead. Collaboration with research institutes and academia, either through partnerships or out-licensing deals, has been a long-standing trend in this market, and it has been growing in popularity in recent years. A case in point is in May 2023, when Amneal Pharmaceuticals, a company specializing in generics and specialty pharmaceuticals based in the US, entered into collaboration with Kashiv Biosciences, another US-based integrated biosciences company. Their joint endeavor led to the creation and introduction of Fylnetra (pegfilgrastim-pbbk), a new biosimilar pegfilgrastim. Fylnetra is a preservative-free, clear solution that is provided in a single-dose prefilled syringe measuring 6 mg/0.6 mL. It is primarily used for reducing infection risks, particularly febrile neutropenia, in patients diagnosed with non-myeloid cancers who are receiving certain types of myelosuppressive anti-cancer treatments.
