Save the date for SMi’s 10th Annual Biosimilars Conference 2019

SMi Group are pleased to announce the next Biosimilars Conference, the first global event taking place at the Copthorne Tara Hotel in London, on 25th and 26th September 2019.

The biosimilars market is forecasted to reach USD$23.6B by 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.70%. Factors driving the increase of this market include growing demand for biosimilar drugs due to their cost-effectiveness, growing incidence of chronic diseases, and strategic collaborations resulting in enhanced productivity and clinical trial activities.

With the expiry dates of major patents fast approaching, the emerging gap in the market for biosimilars is now a major attraction for manufacturers. As the availability of biosimilars could potentially reduce direct spending by USD$54B by 2026, the two-day event aims to tackle the question “What can current biosimilar producing companies do to join this market to benefit the patients, physicians and investors?”

The 2019 event focus is to highlight the current challenges in the biosimilars market and discuss current undergoing plans or developments to overcome these challenges, with carefully hand-picked keynote addresses and case studies presented by top manufacturing and leading distributors of market approved biosimilars including:

Bristows LLP will talk about current strategies under development to overcome challenges with patents currently faced by many biosimilar developers.
MHRA will discuss the possible changes in regulatory approval of biosimilars in the UK post Brexit, and how this will impact market entry.
Bio-thera Solutions is set to explore the commercialization uptake in the China market.
Novartis will review the recently approved drug delivery systems for biosimilars.
