Antidyslipidemics The competitive cost-conscious antidyslipidemics market presents challenges

The restrictive, highly competitive antidyslipidemic market is going to become even further genericized, which will add to the challenges that drug makers are facing. Despite over 300m people being eligible for antidyslipidemic treatment, there is still a lot of under-diagnosis and under-treatment, but it will be a major issue capturing all the eligible population.

Scope of this report

* Assessment of each of the seven major markets, key drivers for growth and resistors to growth

* Overview of the main opportunities and threats in each of the seven major markets

* Forecast analysis including the key events, among them new product launches, major clinical trials and patent expiries.

* Overview of two case studies (on CETP inhibitors and on the second wave of patent expiries) including worst and best case scenarios.

Research and analysis highlights

Despite over 300m people being eligible for treatment in seven major markets, as well as the recommended treatment goals capturing more patients and promoting more aggressive therapy, there is a lot of under-diagnosis and under-treatment. Cost-saving policies further limit the patient potential for branded agents.

Lowering of LDL-C treatment goals cannot counteract the impact of cost-saving policies, and does not guarantee a revenue stream for branded agents. This is why there are currently several outcome trials that regard the potential of branded agents (Crestor, Vytorin) in new indications/patient groups, e.g. heart failure and renal disease.

Branded statins' market share is diminishing. Due to the patent expiries of statins that have taken place in the past five years (especially that of Zocor) and those going to take place in the near future (especially that of Lipitor) the branded statins are losing their market share rapidly.
