Abstract

Multiple Sclerosis Market Analysis & Forecasts Report 2007-2022

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that over 2.5 million people globally suffer from Multiple Sclerosis (MS). With the present global population growing to an unprecedented height of 6.5 billion in 2005 and growth rate anticipated to reach 7.6 billion by 2020, the prevalence and onset of MS in children and particularly adults is expected to rise exponentially.

According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, an approximated 400,000 Americans have MS. In Europe over 500,000 are projected to have MS with large economic implications to healthcare providers. The clinical presentation of sufferers of the various forms of MS, over the past decade, have been treated with the following FDA approved disease modifying drugs (DMDs)-

• Avonex (interferon beta-1a; Biogen Idec)
• Betaseron (interferon beta-1b; Berlex, Inc./Schering)
• Copaxone (glatiramer acetate; Teva and Sanofi- Aventis)
• Novantrone (mitoxantrone; Serono International)
• Rebif (interferon beta-1a; Serono/Pfizer) and
• Tysabri (natalizumab; Biogen Idec and Elan Corp) re-entry into the market in July 2006

In 2006, the disease modifying drugs generated total global revenues of $5.4 billion, with a larger percentage of this revenue accounted for in the seven major markets (7MMs)- US, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, UK, and Spain. Visiongain believes that, as the larger Biopharmaceutical companies behind these products continue to advance on the product lifecycle of these disease modifying drugs, MS pharmaceutical treatments in these major markets are set to experience increased revenues. To find out exactly how big these increases will be, you should order this report today.

The disease modifying drugs on the MS market although effective are administered intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously with much discomfort to MS patients. This has prompted a new wave of R&D heralded by top biopharmaceutical companies- Biogen Idec (BG-12), BioMS (MBP8298), Genzyme (Alemtuzumab), Merck Serono (Mylinax) ,Novartis (FTY720) ,Pipex (Trimesta), Sanofi-Aventis (Teriflunomide) and Teva (Laquinomide) into delivering oral MS therapeutics presently in late phase clinical studies to the markedly underserved MS market.

Visiongain believes the entry of a first oral MS product into the market will oscillate the markets' dynamics, which have been long dominated by injectable products, and in doing so will acquire a significant market share. Furthermore the successful product will set a benchmark for host of other compounds to penetrate the oral therapeutics sector worth over $26 billion globally.
