Summary

Introduction

The opioids market is set to grow from $9.6 billion in 2008 to $11.9 billion in 2018 across the seven major markets. However, the number and diversity of products in late-stage development will limit the commercial potential of individual brands simply due to saturation and price competition in each opioids market.

Scope

This report gives a strategic analysis of the likely impact that recent events will have on the future opioids market

  • Includes forecasts for the key brands, generics, and pipeline agents in the seven major markets to 2018
  • Provides a global opioids market snapshot, and analysis of growth trends in key markets outside of the seven major pharmaceutical markets
  • Conclusions are supported by key opinion leader comment

Highlights

Purdue/Mundipharma/Napp Pharmaceutical's OxyContin (oxycodone controlled-release) is forecast to regain the prescriptions lost to generics following re-establishment of market exclusivity in the US. Sales peak at around $3 billion in 2009 across the seven major markets.

King Pharmaceutical's anti-abuse opioid franchise looks set to reach blockbuster levels over the forecast period. With combined sales of Remoxy (oxycodone controlled-release), Embeda (morphine extended-release and naltrexone) and the immediate-release opioid Acurox (oxycodone and niacin) forecast to generate around $1 billion per annum by 2018.

Reinvigoration of the short- and rapid-acting opioids market following approval of Fentora for non-cancer pain in the US, and the entry of regional specialist companies in the 5EU, will expand the market beyond that achieved by Cephalon to date.
