Introduction The growth of the antidepressant market over the last decade has been built upon increasingly sophisticated marketing strategies. This has not only made the depression market highly competitive, but also produced an expanded patient potential as manufacturers move their products into non-traditional markets. Scope Analysis of depressive symptoms in presenting patients from the seven major markets Analysis of depressive symptoms throughout the course of the illness in treated patients from the seven major markets The level of comorbidity of anxiety and non-anxiety disorders in treated depression patients from the seven major markets Analysis of the leading products in each of these areas of the depression market Datamonitor’s strategic recommendations for marketed and pipeline drugs Report Highlights Traditionally, manufacturers have sought indications in anxiety disorders to ensure product growth. However, following the licensing of fluoxetine for bulimia and bupropion for smoking cessation, Datamonitor has identified a third phase of potential development for antidepressant drugs. By targeting non-anxiety disorders, manufacturers are continually escalating the patient potential for their drugs, which is crucial if the rapid expansion of the antidepressant is to be continued in this decade. The understanding of the prevalence level of depressive symptoms, both at presentation and throughout the illness, is key for all antidepressant manufacturers to devise successful marketing strategies. Furthermore, the competitive landscape in these sub-markets is crucial to understand, if a significant return on investment is to be achieved.
