Introduction

The antithrombotic market is expected to grow to $22 billion by 2017.

Highlights

The antithrombotic market is demonstrating steady growth with

 

 

CAGR of 8% over the 2004-07 period. The growth can be mainly attributed to the increased uptake of Plavix (clopidogrel) and Lovenox (enoxaparin) in all of the seven major markets.

The US antithrombotic market´s share among the seven major markets is forecast to decrease, from 55% in 2007 to 49% in 2017, due to the 5EU volume sales being largest and the patent expiries in the EU not affecting the brand sales to the same extent as in the US.

New agents (especially rivaroxaban and prasugrel) will be successful at gaining a large share of the antithrombotic market, as they offer significant improvements over the current standards of care. In fact, two of the top three revenue-generating antithrombotics are forecast to be agents currently in development.
