Summary

Introduction

The HIV market generated $7.4 billion of sales in 2005 and experienced a CAGR of 13.3% from 2001-2005, making it one of the fastest growing infectious diseases sub sectors. Despite the antiretroviral market's relative immaturity, many older flagship products such as Combivir are expected to lose patent protection before 2015.

Scope

In-depth analysis of the current HIV market across the major Western markets (US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK)
Thorough assessment of underlying commercial and clinical influencing factors shaping the antiretroviral market
Detailed sales forecasts for the three major antiretroviral classes, molecules and brands in each of the six major markets
Case study analysis of the competitive environment and critical success factors in the Protease Inhibitor class

Highlights

By 2015 the global antibacterial market is forecast to be valued at more than $10 billion with a modest CAGR of 4.1%. The main contributor to growth will be the new drug classes such as integrase- and entry inhibitors.

Since the advent of HAART, HIV has turned into a chronic disease with an average life expectancy similar to that of Type 2 diabetes, emphasizing the importance of side effect profiles associated with long-term use.

The launch of several new products from new classes such as integrase inhibitors, CCR5 inhibitors from 2007, and recently launched PIs, will cause the salvage market to decline. Despite proven synergy between Fuzeon and the new drugs, use of the former is predicted to decline.
