Smoking Cessation and Addiction Treatments: A World Market Analysis

Abstract

SMOKING CESSATION IS AN increasingly important area of focus for pharmaceutical companies, healthcare entities and governments. There are 1.4 billion smokers in the world, and smoking is a known cause of heart disease, lung cancer, respiratory infections and many other diseases. This has created a large market for smoking cessation aids.

The market, which Zyban currently holds a tenuous lock on, is about to change, with a major new brand ready to shake up the current market share. At the same time, the high incidence of smoking and strong public-sector motivation to reduce smoking signals room for new entrants.

The market for treatments for alcohol and drug abuse, now dominated by Subutex and Campral, will also see growth and a robust line of new products.
