Pfizer sees COVID-19 vaccine demand for years, $26bn in sales

MM News Staff by MM News Staff
May 5, 2021

NEW YORK: Pfizer raised its forecast for COVID-19 vaccine sales by more than 70% to $26 billion in 2021, and said demand from governments around the world could contribute to its growth for years to come.

The company said it expects to file for full US approval of the vaccine in May for people over the age of 16. It also expects to hear soon from US regulators on expansion of the vaccine’s emergency use authorisation (EUA) for children ages 12-15.

Revenue from the vaccine – developed with German partner BioNTech SE – is expected to account for more than one third of Pfizer’s sales this year. The forecast is based on contracts to deliver 1.6 billion vaccine doses this year. The company expects to sign more deals for this year and is in supply talks with several countries for 2022 and beyond.

“Based on what we’ve seen, we believe that a durable demand for our COVID-19 vaccine – similar to that of the flu vaccines – is a likely outcome,” Chief Executive Albert Bourla said.

The two-shot vaccine was Pfizer’s top-selling product in the first quarter. Expenses and profit from the vaccine are split 50-50 between Pfizer and BioNTech.

Daily vaccination rates for adults in the United States are off more than 25% since hitting a peak in mid-April.  The authorisation in children would expand the vaccine-eligible population by millions of people.

Pfizer said it expects to have safety and efficacy data for children ages 2-to-11 in September, when it plans to ask for further expansion of the EUA for that age group.

The company has also filed new data with US regulators that would allow the vaccine to be stored at standard refrigerator temperatures for up to four weeks, up from five days currently.

Pfizer and BioNTech aim to produce up to 2.5 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses this year, 900 million of which are not yet included in the drugmaker’s sales forecast. If Pfizer sells that number of doses at similar prices, the vaccine’s sales in 2021 could be more than 50% above the projected $26 billion.

Moderna has forecast $18.4 billion in 2021 sales of its similar COVID-19 vaccine. Pfizer expects to profit from the vaccine, while some drugmakers including Johnson & Johnson have said their vaccine will be sold on a not-for-profit basis until the end of the pandemic.

Pfizer aims to manufacture at least 3 billion doses of the vaccine next year. It also expects to have safety and immunogenicity data from a third booster dose of the vaccine in July.

Pfizer and BioNTech have published data showing impressive durability for their vaccine at least six months after vaccination. The COVID-19 vaccine generated $3.5 billion in revenue in the first quarter. Total revenue for the quarter of $14.6 billion, topped analysts’ forecasts of $13.5 billion.

The company plans to boost R&D spending to fuel drug discovery using the messenger RNA technology in the COVID-19 vaccine. It is developing two flu vaccines that are expected to enter clinical trials in the third quarter.
