GlobalData, the industry analysis specialist, has released its new report, “Osteoporosis Therapeutics - Pipeline Assessment and Market Forecasts to 2018”. The report is an essential source of information and analysis on the global osteoporosis therapeutics market. The report identifies the key trends shaping and driving the global osteoporosis therapeutics market. The report also provides insights on the prevalent competitive landscape and the emerging players expected to significantly alter the market positioning of the current market leaders. Most importantly, the report provides valuable insights on the pipeline products within the global osteoporosis therapeutics sector. This report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research and in-house analysis by GlobalData’s team of industry experts.

GlobalData analysis shows that the global osteoporosis therapeutics market stood at $6.9 billion in 2005 and grew at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.5% to reach $8.5 billion in 2010. GlobalData forecasts that the global osteoporosis therapeutics market will grow moderately at a CAGR of 3.3% over the next eight years to reach $11.1 billion by 2018. The current competitive landscape consists mainly of bisphosphonates, selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM), receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B (RANK) ligand (RANKL) inhibitor drugs and hormone therapy, which includes parathyroid hormone apart from estrogen and progesterone. The recent launch of Prolia (denosumab), a monoclonal antibody from the therapeutic class RANKL inhibitor, has also opened new avenues for the treatment of osteoporosis with improved safety, efficacy and compliance to medication by the patient. The bisphosphonates are the preferred drug for treatment and are used as the first line of therapy for the treatment of osteoporosis. The expected moderate growth can be attributed to the increase in awareness among people regarding osteoporosis, especially among females about postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) which contributes the largest number of patient pool to osteoporosis. GlobalData also predicts that an increase in the patient population as a consequence of the ageing population will drive the moderate growth in the osteoporosis therapeutics market. The modest growth observed in the osteoporosis therapeutics market during 2010 to 2018 can also be attributed to the expected launch of pipeline products such as Odanacatib (MK 0822), NB S101 during the late forecast period. The patent expiry of Actonel (risedronate sodium), Boniva (ibandronate), Reclast (zoledronic acid), Evista (raloxifene) and Protelos (strontium malonate) during 2012 to 2014 will act as the major barriers for the growth of osteoporosis therapeutics market during the forecast period. The impending patent expiry of Boniva in 2012; Actonel and Reclast in 2013; and Evista in 2014 means patients will have access to treatment at much lower prices reflecting brand erosion of these drugs. The sales growth will also be affected by Fosamax (alendronate) generics, which lost its patent exclusivity in 2008. The main treatment options available in the osteoporosis therapeutics market include alendronate, Reclast, Actonel, Boniva, Evista, Prolia, Forteo (teriparatide), Miacalcin (calcitonin salmon), Prempro (estrogen) and Premarin (conjugated estrogens and medroxyprogesterone acetate) among others.
