2008-12-03 18:04:02 -

Research and Markets (www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f236b3/the_dermatology_ma) has announced the addition of the "The Dermatology Market Outlook to 2013: Competitive Landscape, Pipeline Analysis and Growth Opportunities" report to their offering.
The dermatology market remains highly competitive, with developers ranging from Big Pharma to biotechnology and specialty pharmaceutical firms. In recent years levels of innovation in the area have dwindled, allowing generic competition to erode the market share of several leading brands across major drug classes. As leading players continue to lose ground to smaller, specialised players, opportunities are being created for companies that can implement effective lifecycle management and identify lucrative niches.
'The Dermatology Market Outlook to 2013' is a new report published by Business Insights that provides comprehensive coverage across key dermatology markets, with analysis of major currently marketed and pipeline drugs. The growth drivers and competitive dynamics of the area are assessed, with revenue and epidemiological forecasts provided for the period 2008-13. This report assesses the 10 leading companies in the dermatology market, examining their product portfolios and R&D pipelines to provide forecasts of their future competitive positions. This report also assesses prevalence rates across the seven major markets in addition to highlighting key trends across the global dermatology area, with coverage of over 95% of the total market.
Discover the key trends and growth drivers of the market for dermatology treatments, assess the competitive dynamics of leading companies and evaluate the future prospects of major products.
Some key findings from this report
- Increased safety concerns will restrict future growth for topical immunosuppressants such as Novartis' Elidel and Astellas' Protopic. Both these products have a declining market presence due to the FDA's black box label warning in 2005 for potential cancer risk.
- Major branded oral acne treatments including Roaccutane will face growing generic competition over the 2008-2013 period. Leading brands in the topical acne treatment market are only expected to achieve marginal growth, while the total market for acne treatments is expected to amass $3b of revenue in 2013.
- The market for psoriasis treatments is forecast to register strong growth between 2008-2013, driven by the performances of key drugs such as Raptiva, Taclonex, Soriatane.
- The corticosteroid market is estimated to value $3.7b by 2013. Reformulated combination corticosteroid/anti-infective brands will continue be integral to the treatment of psoriasis and dermatitis and will continue to be the primary growth drivers within the area.
- Leo Pharma is believed to feature the strongest R&D pipeline in the dermatology market, with five projects currently in the mid to late stages of development. However, most leading companies have sparsely populated pipelines.

Key issues examined in this report
- Generics threaten branded oral acne treatments. The majority of anti-acne brands, excluding Roaccutane and Diane, are based on generic molecules and formulations. This is expected to cause a shift in developmental focus to topical acne treatments and lead to a collapse in the value of the branded oral acne market.
- The future of corticosteroids. Triple combination products and reformulations are continuing to revive the sales of corticosteroid brands following poor performance in 2006. However, widespread genericization is threatening to stifle future growth in this class.
- Competition intensifies for psoriasis treatments. New molecular entities are largely focused upon psoriasis indications. The market is likely to witness strong growth in the forecast period as anti-TNF therapies such as Enbrel and Humira maintain strong performances.
- Shift in competitive landscape. With large pharma companies apparently neglecting their dermatology pipelines, small specialist players can build a market presence through strong lifecycle management strategies and targeted drug development.
