Acute Upper Respiratory Infections (AURI) Therapeutics

April 28, 2011 - PRLog -- The global Acute Upper Respiratory Infection (AURI) market was valued at $692m in 2010 and is forecast to show slow growth at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.3% to reach $755m by 2017. The growth will primarily be driven by an increase in the general population and depleting environmental conditions, which can increase the incidence of the disease. At present, the market has a lot of approved therapies (many of them with generics) and a lot of off-label drugs in the market. As the disease is selflimited and there are plenty of available therapies with good efficacy and safety profiles, there is a low unmet need in the market.

The competitive landscape of the market is strong with approved and off-label therapies. The market remains highly consolidated, with Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline and Abbott remaining the leading competitors in the global AURI market. These players were the market leaders and are also expected to be the leaders for at least next seven years, as the pipeline has no first-in-class drugs that could further intensify the competition in the near future.

In the AURI therapeutics pipeline, there were four products in the late development stages in February 2011. There are three me-too products and one product extension, which will have little impact in the market. There is no emergence of promising agents with novel mechanisms of action, which would further intensify the competition
