Global Pain Management Drugs Market 2014-2018 with Abbott Labs, Eli Lilly, Endo Health Solutions, Pfizer & Purdue Pharma Dominating
M2 - Fri Apr 11, 4:31AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/bjv7jj/global_pain) has announced the addition of the "Global Pain Management Drugs Market 2014-2018 with Abbott Labs, Eli Lilly, Endo health Solutions, Pfizer & Purdue Pharma Dominating" report to their offering. The Global Pain Management Drugs market will grow at a CAGR of 3.84 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the main drivers in this market is the increase in global aging population. The rise in aging population has consequently led to an increase in the incidence of diseases such as chronic arthritis, diabetic neuropathy, osteoarthritis, and cancer. R&D activities are increasing due to the strong need for new efficacious and better-tolerated medications. Developing better pain treatments is the main goal of all pain research being conducted by various institutes. Morphine is one such drug that works through the body's natural pain-killing machinery, preventing pain messages from reaching the brain. Patients receiving morphine also face the problem of morphine tolerance. Scientists are working toward the development of a morphine-like drug that will have the pain-deadening qualities of morphine but without the drug's negative side effects, such as sedation and the potential for addiction. Further, the report states that one of the main challenges is the increase in generic competition. The patent expiry of a drug results in the loss of the exclusive market for that drug, leading to a rapid decline in sales. The key vendors dominating this space are: - Abbott Laboratories - Eli Lilly and Co. - Endo Health Solutions Inc. - Pfizer Inc. - Purdue Pharma L.P. Key Topics Covered: - Executive Summary - List of Abbreviations - Scope of the Report - Market Research Methodology - Introduction - Market Landscape - Market Segmentation by Category - Geographical Segmentation - Buying Criteria - Market Growth Drivers - Drivers and their Impact - Market Challenges - Impact of Drivers and Challenges - Market Trends - Trends and their Impact - Vendor Landscape - Key Vendor Analysis Other Companies Featured: - Actavis plc - Allergen Inc. - Astra Zenca plc - Baxter International Inc. - Bayer Healthcare AG - Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH - Boston Scientific Corp. - Bristol Myers Squibb Co. - Durect Corp. - F.
