Here are 1-3 brief analogies to describe Insmed (INSM):
Vertex Pharmaceuticals for rare lung diseases. (Like Vertex's dominance in cystic fibrosis, Insmed targets rare, severe lung conditions such as non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension).
A specialized rare disease company, similar to Alexion (pre-acquisition). (Both focus on orphan drugs, but Insmed has a strong emphasis on pulmonary conditions).
BioMarin Pharmaceutical, but with a sharper focus on respiratory and pulmonary conditions. (BioMarin is known for a diverse rare disease portfolio; Insmed is similarly focused on rare diseases but with a predominant lung/pulmonary emphasis).

The recent approval and launch of Merck's sotatercept (Winrevair) for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) represents a clear emerging threat to Insmed's pipeline asset, bepirovirsen, which is currently in Phase 3 development for the same indication. Sotatercept, a first-in-class activin receptor type IIA-Fc fusion protein, has demonstrated significant efficacy in improving clinical outcomes for PAH patients, setting a new and higher standard for treatment in a competitive market. This potentially raises the bar for bepirovirsen's eventual market entry and adoption, making it more challenging for Insmed to capture significant market share if bepirovirsen does not demonstrate a compelling differentiated profile compared to this established breakthrough therapy.

Insmed (INSM) is poised for future revenue growth over the next two to three years, driven by the continued strong performance of its existing product, the successful launch and international expansion of its new therapeutic, and the advancement of its pipeline into new indications and markets.
Here are 3-5 expected drivers of Insmed's future revenue growth:
- Continued Growth of ARIKAYCE: ARIKAYCE, Insmed's flagship product for refractory Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease, has consistently demonstrated double-digit revenue growth across all marketed regions. The company has raised its 2025 global ARIKAYCE revenue guidance to between $420 million and $430 million, reflecting projected year-over-year growth of 15% to 18%. Further, the Phase 3 ENCORE trial, with top-line data expected in the first half of 2026, aims to expand ARIKAYCE's label to include newly diagnosed or recurrent MAC lung disease patients, which would significantly enlarge its addressable market.
- Successful Launch and Global Expansion of BRINSUPRI (brensocatib): BRINSUPRI (brensocatib) received FDA approval for bronchiectasis and commenced its U.S. launch in Q3 2025, generating $28.1 million in sales during its first partial quarter and attracting 2,550 new patient starts. This strong initial uptake has led analysts to significantly increase their global peak sales projections for brensocatib in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE), with some estimates reaching up to $8.5 billion. Planned international launches in Europe, the UK, and Japan in 2026, following positive regulatory progress, are expected to further fuel revenue growth by opening up substantial new markets.
- Pipeline Expansion into New Indications and Markets: Insmed's pipeline holds additional revenue growth potential. Brensocatib is also being investigated for chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP), with topline data from the Phase 2b BiRCh trial anticipated by the end of 2025. Furthermore, the company is advancing Treprostinil Palmitil Inhalation Powder (TPIP), with Phase 3 studies planned to initiate for pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) in the second half of 2025 and for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in early 2026, following positive Phase 2b results. These pipeline advancements could lead to the launch of new products and expansion into additional therapeutic areas.
