Some of the key players in this industry include AstraZeneca Plc, Philips Healthcare, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., GlaxoSmithKline Plc, Sanofi-Aventis SA, CareFusion Corporation, Sunovion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH, Roche Diagnostics, and Merck & Co., Inc. The market for asthma therapeutics is expected to experience steady growth primarily due to the branded drugs approaching their impending patent expiration dates and the intensive generic competition in the developing nations.
For instance, the patent for Singulair (montelukast) by Merck & Co., Inc. expired in 2012 that resulted in the fall of 90% of the sales in a period of 4 weeks. Furthermore, the patent expiry of seven more anti-inflammatory drugs during the forecast period is expected to impact the asthma therapeutics market growth.
