Women’s Infertility Therapeutics - Pipeline Assessment and Market Forecasts to 2018

The Women’s Infertility Therapeutics Market is Forecast to Show Slow Growth until 2018
By: Rajesh Gunnam
 
Aug. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- GlobalData estimates that the global women’s infertility therapeutics market was valued at $1,783m in
2010. The market is estimated to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.3%, to reach $2,317m by 2018. The slow market growth is attributed to the weak pipeline and patent expiry of some of the products such as Luveris, Follistim AQ and Ganirelix Acetate Injection. These products are approaching patent expiry in the US in 2015. Therefore, these products would face competition from the
generic versions. A key driver for the women’s infertility therapeutics market is the increasing patient population. Over the past few years a shift in the diseased population has been registered. The key factors responsible for this shift include changing lifestyle and increase in the risk factors leading to infertility in women; these risk factors are late marriage, smoking, obesity and alcohol use.

The current women’s infertility therapeutics market has low unmet need, which is largely due to good
efficacy and safety of the currently prescribed drugs and high levels of physician and patient satisfaction.
During 2000-2005, the approval of recombinant forms of gonadotropins such as Luveris, Gonal-f, Follistim AQ, and Bravelle, which offer better safety and efficacy, has resulted in relatively high growth of the market through the historic period (2005-2010).

The women’s infertility pipeline consists of 22 drugs in various phases of development. Of these drugs,
only one drug (PGL 1001), currently in preclinical development, is first-in-class. This signifies that the pipeline is weak. The Phase III clinical pipeline includes me-too drugs such as DA-3801 (ovulation induction), Elonva (controlled ovarian stimulation), XM-17 (follicle stimulant) and Afolia (follicle stimulant). Merck & Co., Inc, Dong-A Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited and Finox Biotech are the major companies currently developing products for women’s infertility. The absence of a sufficient number of first-in-class drugs points to the fact that not many innovative products are in the pipeline. As a result, the future women’s infertility therapeutics market is estimated to register slow growth through the forecast period to 2018.
