- Emerging lifestyle diseases
Increase in M&A
Sapna Jha, one of the lead analysts at Technavio for cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, talks about the consolidation of the lifestyle drugs market through mergers and acquisitions (M&A). She says, “Vendors in the market are pursuing inorganic growth strategies to expand their lifestyle drugs portfolio and to improve their global presence. Also, with an increasing number of patent expires in the marketplace, vendors are also looking to enhance their portfolio through the acquisition of generics.”
For instance, Concordia Healthcare completed the acquisition of the worldwide rights to four generic products. Similarly, Orexigen Therapeutics entered an agreement with Takeda Pharmaceuticals to acquire the US rights to Contrave for the treatment of obesity. Such initiatives will help vendors to expand their business horizons, thereby driving the market growth.
Growing focus on development of drugs for new indications
Vendors are increasing their focus on finding drugs to address new indications for which there are no drugs. Pharmaceutical companies are looking to monetize the unmet demands for these new indications to increase their product portfolio, income, and presence in the market. Female sexual dysfunction drugs are currently being researched as there is a huge potential customer base for the disease. Vendors such as Pfizer, Sigma-Tau Pharmaceuticals, VIVUS, Palatin Technologies, and TherapeuticsMD are increasingly looking to gain approval for female dysfunction products. These new drugs will add significant revenue to the market.
Emerging lifestyle diseases
Changing lifestyles of the general populace are giving rise to diseases related to these changes. Obesity and anti-aging products are two of the most sought after drugs from this sector. Vendors are responding to this demand by developing and launching new drugs targeting these diseases.
“Vendors such as Rhythm Pharmaceuticals, Merck, AstraZeneca, Novo Nordisk, and Avolynt are some of the vendors that are trying to tap this growing market segment. Therefore, emerging lifestyle diseases are likely to create substantial growth opportunities for vendors, thereby driving market growth,” says Sapna.
