The atrial fibrillation market will rise from the 2015 figure of around $8 billion to peak at $11.8 billion in 2020 before patent expiries will prompt a fall to $4.9 billion by 2025, predicts research and consulting firm GlobalData.

Its latest report states that the entry of the first generics of the new oral anticoagulants (NOACs), starting with privately-held German pharma Boehringer Ingelheim’s anticipated loss of US, Japanese, and Canadian patent protection for Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate) in 2018, will bring about the decline.

The report considers the eight major markets (8MM) of the USA, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan and the UK.
