Abstract
The total antipsychotics market revenue in 2006 was $18.1bn. Visiongain
predicts that total revenues in the antipsychotics market will peak to $18.6bn
by 2007. But what will it be in 2012? This report will tell you.
This in-depth market analysis examines prospects for antipsychotic drugs right
through to 2012, including sales forecasts for leading products. The
antipsychotics market will face decreasing growth throughout the forecast
period, due to the patent expiry of leading blockbuster drugs. Safety concerns
over the current antipsychotics along with high prices, will also contribute
to decreased growth in this market.
The antipsychotics market currently contains four blockbuster drugs; Zyprexa,
Risperdal, Seroquel and Abilify. Visiongain predicts that a fifth drug will
also reach blockbuster status by 2008. This detailed report also highlights
pipeline developments and important contemporary issues, especially commercial
drivers and restraints.
According to the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and
Depression, approximately 22.1 per cent of American adults (approximately 64
million people) suffer from a diagnosable mental illness in any given year. Of
these, it is estimated that over 2 million suffer from schizophrenia.
Similarly, approximately 18.8 million people have a depressive disorder, with
approximately 2.3 to 3 million suffering from bipolar disorder.

The future of current and potential anti-psychotic blockbusters is vitally
important to each company. Off label allocation has seen companies write off
funds for possible legal actions. Zyprexa-maker Lilly set aside $1.2 billion
to settle 31,000 claims and still faces 1,200 cases and a federal probe.
Bristol-Myers Squibb, maker of Abilify, agreed to pay $515 million last year,
in part to settle off-label marketing allegations; the firms also face
thousands of additional claims. AstraZeneca has 8,000 suits pending for
Seroquel. This report concentrates on arguably the most exciting challenge
facing the anti-psychotic industry and regulators: how to adapt medicine to
patient sub-populations and emerging regulatory demands, improving safety and
efficacy markedly. No pharmaceutical company can afford to ignore those issues.
