Investigation Report on China's Telmisartan Market Report 2014 - Forecasts to 2018
M2 - Mon Mar 10, 10:11AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jqmhqf/investigation) has announced the addition of the "Investigation Report on China Telmisartan Market, 2009-2018" report to their offering. According to statistics from WHO, one-third of the world's adults have high blood pressure. Death toll of this disease equals to half of the total number caused by stroke and heart attack. Angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ABR) is an important product among various antihypertensive drugs. Telmisartan was firstly developed by Boehringer Ingelheim and approved to the U.S. market for the first time in 1999 with the trade name ""Micardis"". It is a once-daily oral medication for the treatment of essential hypertension. In the same year, telmisartan was jointly sold as ""Micardis"" by Boehringer Ingelheim and ""Pritor"" by Glaxo Wellcome in Germany. It was approved to market in December 1999 in Philippines. In 2000, it was approved to market in Australia, Belgium and Britain. Glaxo Wellcome owns the marketing right worldwide except in Japan and the U.S. The company is also developing compound preparation of telmisartan and other hypertension drugs. Abbott Laboratories holds the sales license of this product in the United States. At the end of 2000, Boehringer Ingelheim introduced raw material and preparation of telmisartan into Chinese market. Several telmisartan generic drugs have also been approved to Chinese market in succession since 2004. Statistics shows that incidence of hypertension among Chinese people aged 15 and above is 24%. There are more than 260 million hypertension patients in the country, with at least one hypertension patient among 5 adults. The prevention and cure for hypertension in China is faced with very tough challenges. Less than 40% of hypertension patients are aware of their illness, while only one-fourth of them are under proper management. Among those who are under management, 60% are willing to take medicines, while only 50% of them have their blood pressure under control. According to CRI, more than CNY 40 billion is annually spent on hypertension treatment in China. In 2013, market size of antihypertensive prescription drug in China exceeded CNY 20 billion, increased more than 15% YOY. This has shown great potential of Chinese market. The CAGR of sales value of telmisartan surpassed 65% in Chinese sample hospitals from 2005 to 2010. Its growth rate dropped slightly in 2011, but an annual growth rate of 10% is still maintained. From the perspective of sales revenue, original drug produced by Boehringer Ingelheim has seized most of Chinese telmisartan market while other market share is occupied by generic drugs produced by manufacturers such as Yichang Changjiang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Beijing Double-Crane Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. It is estimated that incidence of hypertension in China will continue to rise year by year due to improvement of living standard, changes of eating habit, increasing stress of life and lack of health awareness. As Chinese people's incomes increase, the affordability of antihypertension drugs increases. Estimation shows that market size of telmisartan in China will keep rising in the next few years.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019
M2 - Thu Mar 06, 3:03AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/w77w6d/continuous) has announced the addition of the "Continuous Glucose Monitoring Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019" report to their offering. The rapid rise in diabetic population across the globe has considerably increased the demand for effective diabetes management systems. Currently, blood glucose meters are widely used for diabetes management; however, the trend is shifting towards minimally invasive (CGMS) or noninvasive glucose monitoring systems as these systems reduce the need for regular finger pricking and also lessen the pain. Continuous glucose monitoring systems are real time glucose sensing and monitoring devices that measure and display glucose levels of a patient at regular intervals. The usage of CGM is substantially increasing over traditional glucose monitoring systems as these systems are user friendly, provide access to real time values and trend, and provide enhanced accuracy. Additionally, it has been observed that continuous glucose monitoring significantly helps in diabetes management especially in type I diabetics, and helps in reducing long-term complications associated with diabetes. Increasing awareness in developed and developing economies, technological advancements and rising number of diabetic patients are some of the key factors that are expected to fuel the growth of this market. According to International Diabetes Federation (IDF) reports, approximately 382 million people globally were diagnosed with diabetes in 2013 and this number is expected to grow to 592 million by 2035. Additionally, as per Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), the prevalence of type I diabetes rose by 23% in the U.S. between 2001 and 2009 for children under 20 years of age and is identified as the seventh leading cause of death in the country. Hence, rising number of patients suffering from type I diabetes is likely to increase the demand for CGMS. The continuous glucose monitoring market has been segmented on the basis of various CGM systems available in the market including Guardian Real Time CGM System, FreeStyle Navigator, Dexcom Seven Plus, Dexcom G4 Platinum and MiniMed Paradigm Revel/Veo CGM Systems. In 2012, the market for Guardian Real Time CGM system held the largest share globally, followed by Dexcom Seven Plus CGM system. However, during the forecast period 2013 to 2019, growth of the market for Guardian Real Time CGM system is expected to be slowest due to market saturation and development of innovative competitor products. Dexcom G4 Platinum CGM System market is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. FreeStyle Navigator that witnessed a decline in its market share in 2012 due to product recall from the U.S. market is anticipated to show significant growth during the forecast period due to expected launch of FreeStyle Navigator ll in 2014 in the U.S. market. Key Topics Covered: Preface Executive Summary Market Overview Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Market, by Device/Brand, 2011 - 2019 (USD Million) Global Continuous Glucose Monitoring Market Revenue, by Geography, 2011 - 2019 (USD Million) Competitive Landscape Recommendations Company Profiles List of Figures List of Tables Companies Mentioned - Abbott Laboratories - Bayer AG - Dexcom, Inc. - GlySens Incorporated - Insulet Corporation - Medtronic, Inc. - Nova Biomedical Corporation - Senseonics, Incorporated For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/w77w6d/continuous About Research and Markets Research and Markets is the world's leading source for international market research reports and market data.

Investigation Report on China's Telmisartan Market Report 2014 - Forecasts to 2018
M2 - Mon Mar 10, 10:11AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jqmhqf/investigation) has announced the addition of the "Investigation Report on China Telmisartan Market, 2009-2018" report to their offering. According to statistics from WHO, one-third of the world's adults have high blood pressure. Death toll of this disease equals to half of the total number caused by stroke and heart attack. Angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ABR) is an important product among various antihypertensive drugs. Telmisartan was firstly developed by Boehringer Ingelheim and approved to the U.S. market for the first time in 1999 with the trade name ""Micardis"". It is a once-daily oral medication for the treatment of essential hypertension. In the same year, telmisartan was jointly sold as ""Micardis"" by Boehringer Ingelheim and ""Pritor"" by Glaxo Wellcome in Germany. It was approved to market in December 1999 in Philippines. In 2000, it was approved to market in Australia, Belgium and Britain. Glaxo Wellcome owns the marketing right worldwide except in Japan and the U.S. The company is also developing compound preparation of telmisartan and other hypertension drugs. Abbott Laboratories holds the sales license of this product in the United States. At the end of 2000, Boehringer Ingelheim introduced raw material and preparation of telmisartan into Chinese market. Several telmisartan generic drugs have also been approved to Chinese market in succession since 2004. Statistics shows that incidence of hypertension among Chinese people aged 15 and above is 24%. There are more than 260 million hypertension patients in the country, with at least one hypertension patient among 5 adults. The prevention and cure for hypertension in China is faced with very tough challenges. Less than 40% of hypertension patients are aware of their illness, while only one-fourth of them are under proper management. Among those who are under management, 60% are willing to take medicines, while only 50% of them have their blood pressure under control. According to CRI, more than CNY 40 billion is annually spent on hypertension treatment in China. In 2013, market size of antihypertensive prescription drug in China exceeded CNY 20 billion, increased more than 15% YOY. This has shown great potential of Chinese market. The CAGR of sales value of telmisartan surpassed 65% in Chinese sample hospitals from 2005 to 2010. Its growth rate dropped slightly in 2011, but an annual growth rate of 10% is still maintained. From the perspective of sales revenue, original drug produced by Boehringer Ingelheim has seized most of Chinese telmisartan market while other market share is occupied by generic drugs produced by manufacturers such as Yichang Changjiang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Beijing Double-Crane Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. It is estimated that incidence of hypertension in China will continue to rise year by year due to improvement of living standard, changes of eating habit, increasing stress of life and lack of health awareness. As Chinese people's incomes increase, the affordability of antihypertension drugs increases. Estimation shows that market size of telmisartan in China will keep rising in the next few years.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019
M2 - Thu Mar 06, 3:03AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/w77w6d/continuous) has announced the addition of the "Continuous Glucose Monitoring Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019" report to their offering. The rapid rise in diabetic population across the globe has considerably increased the demand for effective diabetes management systems. Currently, blood glucose meters are widely used for diabetes management; however, the trend is shifting towards minimally invasive (CGMS) or noninvasive glucose monitoring systems as these systems reduce the need for regular finger pricking and also lessen the pain. Continuous glucose monitoring systems are real time glucose sensing and monitoring devices that measure and display glucose levels of a patient at regular intervals. The usage of CGM is substantially increasing over traditional glucose monitoring systems as these systems are user friendly, provide access to real time values and trend, and provide enhanced accuracy. Additionally, it has been observed that continuous glucose monitoring significantly helps in diabetes management especially in type I diabetics, and helps in reducing long-term complications associated with diabetes. Increasing awareness in developed and developing economies, technological advancements and rising number of diabetic patients are some of the key factors that are expected to fuel the growth of this market. According to International Diabetes Federation (IDF) reports, approximately 382 million people globally were diagnosed with diabetes in 2013 and this number is expected to grow to 592 million by 2035. Additionally, as per Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), the prevalence of type I diabetes rose by 23% in the U.S. between 2001 and 2009 for children under 20 years of age and is identified as the seventh leading cause of death in the country. Hence, rising number of patients suffering from type I diabetes is likely to increase the demand for CGMS. The continuous glucose monitoring market has been segmented on the basis of various CGM systems available in the market including Guardian Real Time CGM System, FreeStyle Navigator, Dexcom Seven Plus, Dexcom G4 Platinum and MiniMed Paradigm Revel/Veo CGM Systems. In 2012, the market for Guardian Real Time CGM system held the largest share globally, followed by Dexcom Seven Plus CGM system. However, during the forecast period 2013 to 2019, growth of the market for Guardian Real Time CGM system is expected to be slowest due to market saturation and development of innovative competitor products. Dexcom G4 Platinum CGM System market is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. FreeStyle Navigator that witnessed a decline in its market share in 2012 due to product recall from the U.S. market is anticipated to show significant growth during the forecast period due to expected launch of FreeStyle Navigator ll in 2014 in the U.S. market. Key Topics Covered: Preface Executive Summary Market Overview Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Market, by Device/Brand, 2011 - 2019 (USD Million) Global Continuous Glucose Monitoring Market Revenue, by Geography, 2011 - 2019 (USD Million) Competitive Landscape Recommendations Company Profiles List of Figures List of Tables Companies Mentioned - Abbott Laboratories - Bayer AG - Dexcom, Inc. - GlySens Incorporated - Insulet Corporation - Medtronic, Inc. - Nova Biomedical Corporation - Senseonics, Incorporated For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/w77w6d/continuous About Research and Markets Research and Markets is the world's leading source for international market research reports and market data.
