Dr Joseph Fuhr: Market Share Is Not the True Metric of Biosimilar Competition
Joseph P. Fuhr, Jr, PhD, professor emeritus, Widener University, discusses biosimilar competition and its effect on market share and price.

What will predict the biosimilar market share?
Differences in various drug prices concerning various indications will depend on the number of competitors and how the originator responds to competition.
