The market for pain therapies will grow at an annual rate of 1.8% over the next 15 years, surpassing $49 billion in sales in 2026, according to a new report from health care advisory firm Decision Resources.
The loss of sales due to the generic entry of blockbuster pain therapies over the next several years will be offset by the uptake of branded and emerging agents in current drug classes such as tapentadol extended release (Johnson & Johnson/Grunenthal’s Nucynta ER/Palexia SR), orally inhaled dihydroergotamine (MAP Pharmaceuticals/Allergan’s Levadex) and opioid reformulations. Market growth will be driven primarily by the launch of the first biologic pain therapies, namely Pfizer’s tanezumab and Johnson & Johnson/Takeda’s fulranumab, beginning in 2016.
Tanezumab and fulranumab to account for 19% of total pain market
