By 2032, many of these drugs will lose their patent protection – including 45 blockbusters with an estimated total annual global turnover of more than 200 billion US dollars. Biosimilars are successor products to biopharmaceutical drugs for which market exclusivity has expired. They are approved in highly regulated markets such as the EU, the USA, Canada, Japan and Australia in accordance with strict regulatory procedures. Biosimilars create competition and thus give more patients access to biopharmaceutical therapies. At the same time, they reduce costs for healthcare systems. Global sales of biosimilars currently amount to around 21 billion US dollars. Analysts assume that sales could rise to over 74 billion US dollars by 2030.Logo: https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2759179/5655882/MS_Pharma_Logo.jpg Logo: https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2838456/Formycon_Logo.jpgContact: Sabrina Müller Director Investor Relations &amp; Corporate Communications Formycon AG Fraunhoferstr. 15 82152 Planegg-Martinsried Germany Tel.: +49 (0) 89 - 86 46 67 149 Fax: + 49 (0) 89 - 86 46 67 110 [email protected] Contact: Orayb Akeel Corporate Communications Director MS Pharma Amman – Jordan Tel: +962 (0) 77- 680 1114 [email protected] Disclaimer:This press release may contain forward-looking statements and information which are based on Formycon's current expectations and certain assumptions.
