Report Shows Growing Provider Acceptance, Understanding of Biosimilars

The U.S. biosimilars market is a dynamic and ever-evolving space, and a recent report shows growing acceptance of the medications among providers. Last year saw a handful of milestones related to these agents, and this year, particularly with the launches of biosimilars of AbbVie Inc.’s Humira (adalimumab), is likely to continue the trend, according to a recent report from Cardinal Health.

Titled 2023 Biosimilars Report: tracking market expansion and sustainability amidst a shifting industry, the report is based on responses to web-based surveys conducted in 2022 from both community- and hospital-based practices. Providers were from “therapeutic areas with the most potential for disruption in the year ahead.” Cardinal Health polled more than 100 rheumatologists in July and August, 125 dermatologists in September, 70 gastroenterologists in September and October, and 60 retina specialists in September and October.
