American authorities have approved the immediate use of experimental redeliver, which seemed to help several patients with coronavirus recover more quickly, and this was the first drug that helped to overcome COVID-19, which killed more than 300,000 individuals around the globe. Gilead Sciences, which is working to develop the drug, has seen its share of New York trading increase by more than 5.5% in the first quarter of 2020. The United States and Asia have increased expectations that an experimental drug will further support the control of COVID-19 symptoms. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of COVID-19 disease across different parts of the globe is expected to drive the growth of the remdesivir market. Major players in the remdesivir market are Gilead Sciences Inc., Bright Gene, Hainan Haiyao, Kelun Pharma, Hunan Warrant Pharmaceutical, Cipla, Pfizer, Merck, Cayman Chemical, and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories. The high cost associated with the drug is a key factor hampering the growth of the market. Gilead Sciences which produces remdesivir donates its initial supply of 1.5 million doses, but the company has demonstrated that it would have to begin charging the drug for sustainable production. There are various speculations on the pricing of the drug. According to the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER), the estimated price of Remdesivir would be between $4,580 to $5,080. The higher-end pricing of Remdesivir is expected to hinder the growth of the market. The companies in the market are focusing on strategic partnerships and collaborations to help boost production. Major players are entering into partnership to expand their market and leverage each other’s resources. For example, in May 2020, Gilead Sciences, Inc., an American biopharmaceutical company, signed nonexclusive licensing agreements with five generic drug makers operating in India and Pakistan to produce COVID-19 therapy remdesivir for 127 countries. Under the agreements, Gilead shared its manufacturing know-how with the five companies to help them gear up remdesivir production. Each company was allowed to set the price for its own generic version of the drug. Also, Gilead licenced redeliverers for COVID-19 to companies manufacturing generic drugs for sale in 127 countries. Five generic companies Cipla, Ferozsons Labs, Hetero Labs, Jubilant Lifesciences, and Mylan will have the right to manufacture and sell generic versions of the drug in mostly lower-income countries, as well as higher-income countries that face significant obstacles to healthcare access. The licensees won’t pay royalties to Gilead until the pandemic is called off or until a second drug is approved. This is likely to challenge the growth of the remdesivir market. In March 2020, Gilead Sciences, Inc., an America-based biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of innovative medicines, acquired Forty Seven Inc. for $4.9 billion.
