INTRODUCTION
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the market for genitourinary drugs on a global basis. Its aim is to provide a range of information, from detailed product analyses within health and wellness subsegments to overall industry trends, in order to quantify and qualify the market for drug products to treat various genitourinary diseases in both men and women. Individual drug product-types are forecast on a global basis, as are overall disease segments. Forecasts and trends are developed from a cross-reference of data points, gleaned from proprietary industry sources, company publications, industry benchmarking, and other divergent data sources to arrive at a cogent and coordinated forecast.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
For companies with an effective strategy, market opportunity awaits. Importantly, the ability to develop an effective strategy begins with where opportunity exists and ends with how to effectively execute the strategy to capture profit from opportunity.
The genitourinary disease drug market presents a significant part of the overall pharmaceutical product market worldwide. This study investigates the specific classes of genitourinary diseases and the pharmaceutical products for their treatment. Existing drug products and potential drugs in the pipelines of the major pharmaceutical players in this market are reviewed. Growing health concerns in developing countries are expected to continue to contribute substantially to market growth through the forecast period. This report analyzes emerging markets by disease category. Continued growth is expected in emerging geographies, driven by the health awareness of the growing middle class in emerging countries such as India, China, Brazil and Russia.
This report seeks to address the critically important topics of analyzing a changing market dynamic, emerging players and products, strategies for accessing emerging markets, specific disease prevalence and geographies in order to allocate resources and make effective decisions.
SCOPE OF REPORT
Current and projected product forecasts during the forecast period (2011 to 2016) are discussed. New product launches will be discussed. Revenue figures for 2010 are in an actual figure, except where actual results have not been reported due to the release timing of the report.
The report includes analysis of leading and emerging drug products for each genitourinary disease. Profiles of manufacturers of leading products and their specific products are provided. This report also assesses companies poised to introduce products during the forecast period and discusses how these introductions will change the face of the competitive environment. The competitive environment is examined with a special focus on how new products will alter the quality of life of patients with genitourinary diseases.
Market figures are based on revenues at the manufacturers’ level and are projected at 2011-dollar value. Inflation is not computed into the projection figures. Trends are assessed based on projected sales for existing products, for new product introductions, expanded markets for existing products, and other factors affecting the market
Included in this report are forecasts by product, product category and company from 2009 through 2016. The study is arranged to offer an overview of the genitourinary disease drug market accompanied by product, company, geography and mechanism of action, with forecasts broken down and covered by geographic region or country. Virtually the entire globe is covered to include prevalence data for each drug subsegment.
Where possible, epidemiological data is presented to underscore the importance of these diseases in the world population and the potential morbidity/mortality resulting from ineffective treatment of these diseases worldwide. Patent and clinical trial information is reviewed for various drugs. The status of approvals of drugs in each disease segment by the FDA and regulatory agencies in other countries is reviewed.
Figures are reported in U.S. dollars and in each case reflect currency fluctuations within the performance of revenue change. Revenue figures do not account for variation in local currencies.
Diagnostics for each disease area and various drugs are described. However, diagnostics are not included in market figures, as they are outside of the scope of this report.
All market share data presented is on a global basis, unless specifically noted.
