Abstract

The market entry of biosimilars has represented a cost-reduction opportunity for healthcare systems across Europe. To seize this opportunity in the long term, systems’ rely on ensuring a sustainable competitive environment for all the market players. However, European experiences show that the level of competition generated by biosimilars varies by country, care setting and molecule. Biosimilars contribution to attaining price reductions and increased treatments’ access varies consequently. We aim to capture market dynamics for tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitors in Southern Europe. The rationale behind this study is the need to gain an in- depth understanding on the impact of the competition generated by the availability of biosimilars in diverse market environments.
