RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC--(Marketwire - June 23, 2009) - According to Cutting Edge
Information's latest therapeutic area report "Autoimmune Market Forecast to
2014" (
http://www.cuttingedgeinfo.com/autoimmune-forecast/), autoimmune
brand revenues will grow by 76% over the next five years to nearly $70
billion in annual sales.
With 43 brands profiled in the report, this comes to an average $1.6
billion per brand. While massive blockbusters -- such as Humira with its
projected $9.8 billion in 2014 sales -- offset some of the smaller drugs,
many of the profiled brands exhibit blockbuster potential. For instance,
several of the profiled Phase 2 compounds should easily eclipse $1 billion
in sales but will not hit this mark before 2014, thanks to anticipated
launch dates in 2011 and 2012.
"The autoimmune market presents a tremendous opportunity for large and
mid-sized pharmaceutical companies looking to replace products going off
patent and for the dozens of small biotechs with autoimmune research
looking to salvage their companies," says Shaylyn Pike, lead author of the
report. "Pharma needs these high-yield compounds and will pay top dollar
to get them, and companies without established autoimmune programs will pay
a premium for the technology behind the compounds, as well."
