U.S. Non Oncology Biopharmaceuticals Market
Biopharmaceuticals are complex, high molecular weight proteins and peptides that are produced or synthesized from living biological source. Biopharmaceuticals are further divided into biologics and biosimilars.
Biologics can be defined as molecules derived from the living cells such as microorganisms, or plant or animal cells and used in the treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of diseases. Most of the biologic molecules are very large, complex molecules, or mixture of molecules. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines biosimilar as a biological product that is highly similar to and has no clinically meaningful differences from an existing FDA-approved reference product.
Non-oncology biopharmaceuticals are drugs which are indicated for treatment of a number of diseases except cancer such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, multiple sclerosis, hemophilia, age-related macular degeneration, osteoporosis, and others.
Market Dynamics

For instance, according to the data published by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2017, over 100 million U.S. adults were suffering from diabetes or pre-diabetes.
