The collaboration includes the following markets: Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
These biosimilar candidates’ brand values are estimated around US$1.5 billion in annual sales in the Asia Pacific region, according to IQVIA data.
