Asthma and COPD Combination products still have blockbuster potential

Scope of this report

* Indication based forecasts for asthma/COPD products and significant pipeline drugs

* Assessment of country-specific drivers and resistors likely to impact the market

* Future market outlook for individual products taking into account key market events, in particular patent expiry and competitor launch dates

* Market overview by geographical area, with value analysis of clinical and commercial factors underlying product performance

Research and analysis highlights

Asthma/COPD sales in the seven major markets are expected to grow to over $24 billion annually by 2010 and drop slightly thereafter due to patent expiries of key products. The ICS/LABA class is set to remain the leading class by value throughout, while the LAMA market will experience the strongest growth, particularly in COPD.

A once-daily LABA/LAMA product should become the top-selling single brand in the seven major markets in 2016, depending on which company launches such a combination product first. However, combined sales of the Advair franchise (Advair/Seretide and once-daily Beyond Advair) will dominate the asthma/COPD market over the next ten years.

The phase-out of CFC-containing inhalers in the US after 2008 will have a big impact on the market for short-acting beta2-agonists (SABAs), increasing this class' size significantly. The main beneficiary is expected to be IVAX's (now Teva) ProAir due to its favourable price compared with other marketed HFA SABAs.
