Global Antivirals Market

2010-2025

New report explains how this important anti-infective market will develop

In 2009, the global market for antiviral drugs attained total sales of over $28bn. With hundreds of millions of people worldwide suffering from chronic or acute viral infections, there is enormous need for antiviral drugs. It is only in the past few decades that researchers have begun to find ways of combating viruses. Because viruses mutate rapidly and acquire drug-resistance, the antiviral pipeline needs to be continuously replenished with newer, better therapies, our new market study notes.

Global Antivirals Market 2010-2025 forecasts how the global antivirals market will grow and change over the next 15 years. We predict that the market will continue to expand, driven by significant unmet needs, expanding patient populations, better diagnostics and innovative new drugs, including combination therapies. This report offers detailed and extensive coverage of the principal antiviral drugs, with comprehensive sales forecasting at class and brand levels. We also provide up-to-date assessments of the most-exciting antiviral agents in development.

This new study provides a detailed breakdown of the market by disease area, and forecasts how market shares of the main viral therapy classes will shift from 2010 onwards. More-effective and better-tolerated drugs will bring improved therapies for important diseases, including hepatitis B and C, to many patients in future. How will the global antiviral drug market develop from 2010 onwards? Where will the main revenue gains be made, by market sector and country? What are the most-promising R&D pipeline developments? This new report provides the answers that you require.

Global Antivirals Market 2010-2025 also assesses the leading companies, with their performances in the antivirals market predicted. We cover the leading national markets for antiviral agents separately, with comprehensive forecasts for North America, Europe and Asia. In particular, we examine China and India as expanding antiviral markets with large under-met patient needs at present.
