Global Potential Analysis of Ebola Drug and Vaccines Market 2014-2020: Leading Companies are Tekmira, BioCryst, Serepata Therapeutics, NewLink Genetics and Mapp Biopharmaceutical
M2 - Tue Oct 21, 3:14AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/84gs7d/global_potential) has announced the addition of the "Global Potential Analysis of Ebola drug and Vaccines Market (Pipeline analysis, Drugs, Vaccines, and Geography) through 2020" report to their offering. Tekmira Pharmaceuticals, BioCryst Pharmaceutical Inc., Serepata Therapeutics, NewLink Genetics and Mapp Biopharmaceutical are some of the leading companies focusing on research activities to develop efficacious medicine for EVD. Additionally, the governments in the developed countries have also taken formidable steps to support the research activities for the development of EVD therapeutics by providing funding and floating favorable policies. As an example, Tekmira Pharmaceuticals has received fast-track designation from U.S. food and drug administration for their anti-ebola therapeutic TKM-ebola. In 2012, Sarepta Therapeutics had also received fast track designation for AVI-7537, a lead drug candidate for EVD. Both these companies are developing their anti-ebola products under the contract of the U.S. department of defense (DoD). Ebola therapeutics and vaccines market is segmented on the basis of geography into North America, Europe, Asia-pacific and LAMEA. EVD is rampant in LAMEA regions, specifically in African countries. This is a positive sign for pharmaceutical companies, portraying a highly lucrative market in the future. Earlier, US government did not have any regulations for EVD therapeutics due to negligible incidences of this disease in developed economies. However, preference of African people to migrate to developed economies rather than developing economies has cautioned the governments in the developed economies, leading to formulate regulations in order to curb the spread of this disease. Summary As an example, government of the United States, through the FDA, has granted Fast Track designation to the Tekmira's TKM Ebola drug and has funded $140 million through the Department of defense, United States, for R&D on EVD. According to AMR analyst, Roshan Deshmukh, The prime focus of the companies is to commercialize the drugs and vaccines for EVD disease. The government authorities across the developed regions are extending support for the commercialization of these drugs by provid ing funds and floating favorable policies.
