Abstract
In the present era, use of tobacco, polluted environment, poverty and aging
population have become a major threat; all these factors account for a major
cause of deaths by COPD. Market for COPD medication is growing with increasing
prevalence rate worldwide and it has become the fourth leading cause of death.
The number of people with COPD varies throughout world. Cape Town has the
highest prevalence of COPD, while Hanover has the lowest prevalence.
In United States, its prevalence is high and geographically, its prevalence in
the Southern part of the country is highest and the Northeastern part has the
lowest prevalence rate. With increasing rate of COPD patients, the economic
cost is also increasing, which leads to the highest economic cost out of all
the lung diseases in United States.
Spiriva is the leading medication for the disease while rest of the medicines
market is expected to decline in future with the effect of new developments
and increasing competition. At present Advair has also a good hold in the
market. Inhalers demand is high for COPD and there are few oral medicines
available.
The present report analyses worldwide COPD market with prevalence of the
disease in major parts of the world. It talks about United States and
Australian market for the medication of COPD and mortality and death rates.
Economic cost is also an important segment of the report in which we have
discussed US and Australian markets. There are many factors driving the
industry which are discussed in growth drivers. In future trends we have
discussed the projected market condition, which may help in forming strategies.
The report also talks about the future outlook of the industry and its growth.
By combining SPSS Inc.' s data integration and analysis capabilities with our
relevant findings, we have predicted the future growth of the industry. We
employed various significant variables that have an impact on this industry
and created regression models with SPSS Base to determine the future direction
of the industry. Before deploying the regression model, the relationship
between several independent or predictor variables and the dependent variable
was analyzed using standard SPSS output, including charts, tables and tests.
