Indonesian $16 million NSCLC drugs market kept afloat by high-priced branded drugs
Branded drugs for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Indonesia cost almost three times as much as generic drugs. Their high prices are expected to compensate manufacturers for the decline in sales volumes, as generics are the first line therapy and often the only form of drug treatment for NSCLC in Indonesia.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, titled The Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Drug Market in Indonesia, finds that the market earned revenues of $16.0 million in 2010 and estimates this to reach $26.0 million in 2015.
Branded drugs are sold at price-per-cycle and their volumes drop when the price-per-cycle crosses $850. As the price-per-cycle of generic drugs has not reached the $850 mark yet, their volume is expected to continue rising.
