According to Transparency Market Research, the global peptide therapeutics market is expected to exhibit a low yet steady 2.8% CAGR between 2014 and 2020. The market’s valuation is expected to rise from US$18.9 bn in 2013 to a projected US$23.7 bn by the end of the forecast period. Apart from the established therapeutic uses of peptides, their potential use in the treatment of various cancers, neurological disorders, hematological disorders, and cardiovascular and respiratory disorders is expected to be crucial for the market’s growth in the forecast period. 

How important will the growing prevalence of diabetes be for the peptide therapeutics market?

Despite the increasing research into the use of peptides in the treatment of various other diseases, the use of insulin in diabetes management remains the key application of peptide therapeutics. Diabetes has not shown any signs of slowing down since insulin became the first therapeutically used peptide; in fact, its prevalence has grown rapidly in the last few decades, as the increasing prosperity in developed economies has made various risk factors for diabetes increasingly accessible to the average consumer. The disease is expected to remain a global healthcare concern in the coming years, driving the market for advanced insulin products.

Apart from the use of insulin in diabetes management, what is the key driver for the peptide therapeutics market?

The increasing innovation of advanced peptide therapeutics is another key driver for the global peptide therapeutics. As the infrastructure for clinical research into peptide therapeutics becomes more refined, the use of high-precision methods and tools has allowed market giants to come up with safe and effective peptide therapeutics. Due to the increasing consumer satisfaction brought about by technological progress, collaboration between biotech and pharmaceutical companies is expected to be a prominent feature of the global peptide therapeutics market in the coming years.

A key advancement in the field of peptide therapeutics is the innovation of stable peptide molecules that aren’t degenerated by the body as quickly as conventional peptides. The conventional mode of delivering peptide therapeutics has involved permeability enhancement, which comprises various techniques to ease the entry of the peptide into the vascular network around the digestive tract. However, most slow-acting peptide therapeutics fail to achieve significant bioavailability through this procedure. The promising recent development of a phase-II GLP-1 analog that has a circulating half life of around one week by Novo Nordisk could open the doors for peptide therapeutics to be used on a wider scale in the treatment of several other diseases.

Which region presents the most lucrative opportunities for producers of peptide therapeutics?

Even though North America and Europe currently account for a majority share in the global peptide therapeutics market, the future of the market is expected to be dominated by Asia Pacific. The medical research sector in Asia Pacific has undergone significant development in the last few years, and the high prevalence of diabetes in Asian races means peptide therapeutics are not an entirely novel field.

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a condition characterized by the deficiency of the exocrine pancreatic enzymes, causing failure to digest food properly. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is caused due to damage to pancreas. The common causes of EPI are cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome. The peculiar symptoms of EPI include frequent diarrhea, weight loss, foul-smelling greasy stools, gas and bloating, and stomach ache. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is treatable with pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, which helps in digestion, improves malabsorption and vitamin deficiencies, and fuels weight gain.

Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy products contain a defined amount of digestive enzymes such as lipases, proteases, and amylases, which are required by the body to metabolize fats, proteins, and sugar from food. Without these enzymes, patients with EPI are less capable of absorbing vital nutrients from food and can become undernourished. Effective management of EPI includes life-long pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT), lifestyle modifications, modifications with specialized food supplements such as vitamins and nutrients that do not require pancreatic enzymes for digestion, and transplantation of pancreatic cells.

Factors such as the increasing prevalence of diseases such as cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis and diabetes are contributing to an increase in the prevalence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. According to recent data released by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, about 30,000 people are living with cystic fibrosis in the U.S. and 70,000 across the globe. Approximately 1,000 new cases of cystic fibrosis are diagnosed each year in the U.S. With such alarming rise in the number of people suffering from cystic fibrosis, the risk of incidence related to the disease also increases. People suffering from cystic fibrosis face breathing complications as mucus clogs their lungs and makes them susceptible to infections. Thick mucus also chokes the pancreas and obstructs the release of digestive enzymes leading to the deficiency of these enzymes. EPI is observed in a considerable proportion among the CF patients, with roughly 50% of children with CF suffering from this condition at birth. In addition, 25% of the population develops EPI within the first six months of life. Furthermore, 15% develop EPI in late childhood. According to recent data released by Aptalis (Allergan), chronic pancreatitis is observed in roughly 0.03% to 0.04% adults in the U.S. Of these, around 30% to 40% are expected to develop EPI over a span of 10 years.

Prevalence of EPI is expected to rise due to increase in the number of people suffering from diabetes. According to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2014, the prevalence of diabetes in the U.S. has increased from 4.40% in 2000 to 7.18% in 2013. Examinations of people suffering from diabetes have shown greater than normal inflammation and damage to pancreatic tissue, signifying the increase in the risk of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in people suffering from diabetes. The EPI market is also driven by the opportunities offered by developing countries. With an increasing incidence of diseases in this region, demand for PERT products is expected to grow in the next few years. However, stringent FDA regulations for the approval of PERT products are expected to hamper the growth of this market.

Major players in this market are AbbVie, Inc. (U.S.), Allergan plc (Ireland), Nordmark Arzneimittel GmbH & Co. KG (Germany), Digestive Care, Inc. (U.S.), Cilian AG (Germany), Anthera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (U.S.), Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (U.S.), and AzurRx BioPharma, Inc. (U.S.).

Global Sunitinib Malate Capsules Market Industry Benefits and Opportunities

Global Sunitinib Malate Capsules Market: Overview

Sunitinib malate is a small-molecule medicine that has been proven to be effective in blocking multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). The potential antineoplastic activity of sunitinib has led to it being regarded as an effective agent in inhibiting cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Sunitinib capsules have been approved for use in treating pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, kidney cancer, and gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).


Sunitinib malate capsules received the U.S. FDA’s approval for use in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma and GIST on January 26, 2006. They also subsequently received approval from the European Medicine Agency in July 2006. Two years later, on April 16, 2008, the drug was approved by Japan’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA).

The aforementioned regions have thus emerged as the leading markets for sunitinib malate capsules, which are marketed by Pfizer as Sutent. Pfizer has market exclusivity over sunitinib malate capsules until 2021, which has made them an important revenue source for Pfizer, which had been losing revenue owing to the patent expiration of Lipitor in November 2011. The total sales of sunitinib malate were estimated at more than US$1 bn as of 2015.

This report examines the sales potential of sunitinib malate capsules in key regional markets such as the U.K., Japan, and the U.S. It also analyzes changes in the regulatory environment that could potentially impact the trajectory of the global sunitinib malate capsules market. Protected by patents, Sutent is expected to enjoy a healthy rise in revenue for the better part of the report’s forecast period.

Global Sunitinib Malate Capsules Market: Drivers and Restraints

The increasing prevalence of pancreatic cancer is a major driver for the global sunitinib capsules market. According to the American Cancer Society, around 53,000 Americans are expected to be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2016, with close to 42,000 of them expected to succumb to it. Due to the relative inaccessibility of the pancreas, detecting and removing pancreatic tumors is more difficult than other tumors. As a result, the use of sunitinib malate capsules to treat pancreatic tumors is increasing.

The increasing prevalence of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, in particular, is a key driver for the global sunitinib malate capsules market. Sunitinib malate was approved by the FDA in May 2011 for the treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors that have proven difficult to extract surgically or have already metastasized.

However, one of the key restraints acting against the global sunitinib malate capsules market’s growth is the high cost of Sutent. It ranks among the most expensive drugs currently being marketed, which puts it out of the reach of the average consumer in the absence of sufficient reimbursement. Moreover, studies have also shown that Sutent is associated with hepatotoxicity – a condition that can lead to liver failure and even death. Adverse cardiovascular events have also been reported during clinical trials, which could discourage adoption of the drug.

Global Sunitinib Malate Capsules Market: Regional Outlook 

It is estimated that the global market for sunitinib malate capsules will remain concentrated in the developed G7 countries, where the sales of the drug are currently the highest. Through the latter half of the report’s forecast period, after the expiration of the patents on Sutent, the market for sunitinib malate capsules is expected to develop rapidly in the mass volume markets of China and India. This could cause a significant shift in the overall dynamics of the global market for sunitinib malate capsules.

The report has been compiled to aid entities such as contract research organizations, pharmaceutical companies, regulatory authorities, and health insurance companies in making strategy decisions regarding the global sunitinib malate capsules market. The report offers a comprehensive evaluation of the market by providing in-depth qualitative insights, historical data, and verifiable projections about market size.

Multiple Sclerosis Drugs Market - Global Analysis and Industry Trends from 2018

Multiple sclerosis is a progressive, immune-mediated, neurodegenerative disorder that can also prove to be fatal. The rising incidence of multiple sclerosis around the globe and strong R&D efforts by leading players and government organizations have significantly boosted the global multiple sclerosis drugs market. 


Q. What is the current scenario of multiple sclerosis around the world?

A. According to research conducted by the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America, an estimated 2 to 2.5 million people are affected by multiple sclerosis around the globe. While the disease affects people between the age of 20 and 50, women are two or three times more likely to be affected by MS than men. A 2008 assessment of multiple sclerosis by the World Health Organization reveals that the prevalence of the condition is greatest in Europe, followed by the Eastern Mediterranean, and North America. People in high-income countries are more likely to be affected by the neurological disease; however, the WHO study emphasizes that multiple sclerosis is a global disease and not one solely of the more developed “western” countries. 

Q. How are major breakthroughs in the overall multiple sclerosis market affecting the demand for multiple sclerosis drugs?

A. The overall market for multiple sclerosis is no doubt witnessing some groundbreaking developments in recent years. In June 2016, scientists in Canada developed a radical therapy that has shown complete long-term remission from multiple sclerosis. This trial is the first in the world to halt the progression of this debilitating disease and even reverse its symptoms. The new therapy is known as immunoablation and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (IAHSCT) and involves the use of chemotherapy to completely eradicate the damaged immune system and reboot it by transfusing bone marrow cells. Some participants of the clinical trial were able to return to school, work, get married and have children, and regain the ability to drive. 

Although this trial has the potential to considerably change the course of the global multiple sclerosis market, developments such as these act as a deterrent to the multiple sclerosis drugs market. The demand for drugs have been taking a hit owing to an increasing number of MS patients opting for surgical treatments rather than drugs. 

Q. How is the progress of the multiple sclerosis drugs market dependent on the success or failure of major players?

A. Biogen Inc. is one of the leading companies in the global multiple sclerosis drugs market. Its performance and contribution over the years in the form of innovative and high-efficacy drugs and a strong pipeline has significantly driven the market. However, even major players such as Biogen can cause a sudden dip in the multiple sclerosis drugs market. Biogen’s experimental drug for multiple sclerosis – called opicinumab – was one of the most awaited drugs for the year and patients as well as healthcare providers were hopeful of the drug’s ability to change the course of multiple sclerosis. However, the drug failed in a mid-stage trial, missing the main as well as secondary goals for the treatment of the neurological disease. Most of Biogen’s revenue comes from MS drugs and this failure is a major setback for the company. This is also means a hitch in the progress of the global multiple sclerosis drugs market.
