The Outlook for the Cardiovascular Disorders Market Remains Robust According to New Report
Business Wire, April 7, 2008
DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c87778) has announced the addition of The Cardiovascular Disorders Market Outlook to 2012 to their offering.
The cardiovascular therapeutic area has historically provided the largest single source of revenue for the pharmaceutical industry. The outlook for the market remains robust, driven by high patient populations and a widespread focus on preventative treatment. However, low growth rates in established indications will prevail due to the growing availability of effective generic medicines and an overall scarcity of innovative new drug launches.

Some key findings from this report...
-Zetia, Diovan, Crestor and Lipitor were the strongest performing major products of 2006-07. Each of these brands is forecast to maintain patent protection over the short to medium-term.
-The cardiovascular portfolios of Novartis and AstraZeneca are best positioned for high levels of future growth. Conversely, it is forecast that current market leaders Pfizer,Merck and Sanofi-Aventis will struggle to preserve their market shares over the 2008-12 period.
-The cardiac therapy area is the only segment forecast to experience a decline in net sales during the forecast period. However, generic competition to Lipitor may also result in the Dyslipidemia market suffering a fall in sales over 2011-12.
-Thrombosis will be the major growth driver of the cardiovascular area throughout the short-term, whilst heart failure has the most favourable dynamics of any indication for rapid market growth.
-Heart failure and thrombosis represent the most active areas of current drug development. Increasing competition in these traditionally less competitive therapeutic areas is forecast to become a major trend over the period up to 2012.

Key issues examined in this report...
-Cardiac therapies. Heart failure treatments have become a focal point for cardiovascular drug developments. However, doubts remain over whether the marginal benefits offered by such medicines will be sufficient to generate and sustain high levels of revenue.
-Combination drugs. Although combination drugs failed to accrue strong sales growth in 2007, the growing acceptance of combination dyslipidemic therapies amongst payors and physicians will favour Merck's Vytorin/Inegy and Novartis' newly launched combination product Exforge (amlodipine/losartan)
-Empty pipelines. Currently marketed portfolios have taken on greater importance in light of weak late stage pipelines among players such as Merck, BMS and AstraZeneca. This lack of new revenue sources is forecast to depress future growth in the cardiovascular market.
