Global Osteoporosis Drugs Market Opportunities with Forecasts to 2018: Amgen, Eli Lilly & Co, Merck & Co, Novartis Dominate
M2 - Wed Apr 30, 4:11AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pzslm9/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Osteoporosis Drugs Market Opportunities with Forecasts to 2018: Amgen, Eli Lilly & Co, Merck & Co, Novartis Dominate" report to their offering. There has been an increase in awareness of bone education among patients and physicians. Enhanced patient and physician awareness is expected to lead to earlier disease diagnosis and treatment. The acceptability of osteoporosis drugs is expected to rise due to the increasing public awareness. This will probably result in increasing drug penetration. Raising general awareness about osteoporosis has led to an increase in research funding and support for clinical and support services. For instance, May is celebrated as National Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month every year. This has encouraged women and men to start conversations about bone health and family history as the first steps to protecting themselves and future generations from osteoporosis. Similarly, the National Osteoporosis Foundation is the leading health organization dedicated to preventing osteoporosis and broken bones, promoting strong bones for life, and reducing human suffering, through programs of public and clinician awareness, education, advocacy, and research. These collaborations have helped to considerably increase the awareness about osteoporosis drugs. According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is the increase in the global aging population. The number of patients suffering from osteoporosis is increasing owing to the increasing aging population both in developing and developed nations. The prevalence of osteoporosis and the incidence of osteoporotic fractures rise substantially with age, especially after the age of 50 years. Further, the report states that one of the main challenges is the multiple patent expiries. The shift toward lower-priced drugs will lead to a drop in the market valuations for that drug, reducing the overall market value. Key vendors dominating this space are: - Amgen Inc - Eli Lilly & Co - Merck & Co. Inc. - Novartis AG. Other vendors mentioned in the report are: - Abiogen Pharma SpA - F. Hoffmann La Roche Ltd. - GlaxoSmithKline plc - Ligand Pharmaceuticals Inc. - NPS Pharma Inc. - Pfizer Inc. For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pzslm9/global
