United States Migraine Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2023: Epidemiology, Etiology, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Pathology and Treatment Guidelines
M2 - Wed Apr 30, 9:29AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/h6hh5c/pharmapoint) has announced the addition of the "PharmaPoint: Migraine - US Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2023" report to their offering. By 2023, the migraine market will grow to $3.7 billion at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%, with the US continuing to dominate the market as a result of higher drug prices and a large migraine population. Some of the new treatments are expected to target the key unmet needs but opportunities will remain for further treatment choices especially drugs that will offer an improved safety and side-effects profile. The US migraine market is the largest given its population size and high drug prices. The main growth driver during this period will be Allergan's Botox, in addition to the launch of new combinations of drug and device and new classes of acute therapy. Historically the triptans have dominated the acute migraine segment and although the gold standard, GSK's Imitrex, expired in 2008, it has remained as one of the most popular triptans among physicians. A recent trend in this segment is the development of devices that can deliver drugs in a more effective way, such as Sumavel DosePro, a needle-free injection of sumatriptan. Scope - Overview of Migraine including epidemiology, etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, pathology and treatment guidelines as well as an overview on the competitive landscape. - Detailed information on the key drugs in the US including product description, safety and efficacy profiles as well as a SWOT analysis. - Sales forecast for the top drugs in the US from 2012-2023. - Analysis of the impact of key events as well the drivers and restraints affecting the US Migraine market.
