Switch to anabolics driving osteoporosis market growth

11 March 2013

A major paradigm shift in late and mid-stage product development from anti-resorptive therapies to anabolic drugs will prove the key driver in the global osteoporosis market, states research and consulting firm GlobalData.

The new report forecasts that the combined osteoporosis therapeutics market of the USA, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, Japan, China and India will reach a value of $8 billion in 2022 from just under $6 billion in 2012, including both branded and generic products.

Six major osteoporosis drugs will lose patent protection over the forecast period, which would strangle market growth if it were not for the introduction of several anabolic alternatives with the potential to become market leaders.
