Scope
- Comprehensive financial strategic analysis of the mAb market out to 2012
- Global sales forecasts to 2012 for all marketed and Phase III mAb products
- Analysis of market trends by product, company, therapy area, technology
and target type
- Analysis of characteristics of key products and insight into direction of
mAb technology evolution and pipeline dynamics
Highlights
The overall ethical pharmaceutical market is expected to face a decline in
sales over 2011 to 2012 as a result of the ' patent cliff' . The patent cliff
will impact the small molecule market, in contrast, the mAb market segment
will continue to record robust growth.
Over the period 2006-12, the mAb market segment will achieve a sales CAGR of
14.2% versus a small molecule sales CAGR of 0.6%. The main barrier to sales
growth for small molecules is exposure to material generic competition, which
will have no effect on mAbs out to 2012.
mAbs currently command a two-fold average revenue per product premium over
small molecules. Positive factors supporting this premium include a higher
demand due to addressing therapy areas of high unmet need and lower
competitive intensity due to accessing novel target space.
