US Orphan Drug Clinical Pipeline Insight 2014 - New Report on the $49 Billion Industry
M2 - Wed Aug 20, 8:25AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/q26z36/us_orphan_drug) has announced the addition of the "US Orphan Drug Clinical Pipeline Insight 2014" report to their offering. In 2013, the US market for orphan drugs was estimated worth US$ 49 Billion. With factors like government support, high profitability and many more, this market is expected to surpass US$ 60 Billion by 2018. The orphan drugs enjoy significant competitive advantages owing to the market exclusivity period after the drug has been authorized. Through this clause, the manufacturer of orphan drugs is given a monopoly status in the market because according to the law, no other company is allowed to market the orphan drugs during the exclusivity period. Additionally, this monopolistic power is further strengthened with the fact that no other alternative health technology exists for many orphan drugs. In US, the research & development of orphan drugs is facilitated by public programs, government regulations, and policies. The major incentives for research & development of orphan drug include grants, research support, fee waivers, tax incentives, and orphan drug market exclusivity. In a highly specialized market like that of orphan drugs, though the impact of market exclusivity in the US has been positive yet relatively modest, a special platform for continued orphan drug development has been laid down by the economic incentives and public support mechanisms.
