Abstract

Introduction

The osteoporosis market is due a major upheaval when market leader Fosamax (alendronate) loses its US patent. The resultant heightened competition will force market players to implement radical lifecycle management strategies to safeguard their franchise revenue. New market entrants provide further complexity to the competitive landscape but will also drive market growth over the next ten years.

Highlights

Reformulations of marketed products have helped rejuvenate the calcitonin and bisphosphonate markets amid genericization. Arguably the most exciting is the Roche's Boniva (ibandronate) reformulation which will generate substantial revenue as both an oral monthly and injectable quarterly product.Following a number of recent reports that have concluded that vitamin D and calcium supplementation decreases the risk of cancer there is further support for the strategy to include a popular supplementary medication as either a combination pill or separately within the prescription brand packaging.Eli Lilly has successfully launched two very different therapies to treat osteoporosis. Evista (raloxifene) and Forteo (teriparatide) The two products have been successful, being the third and fourth highest selling products on the osteoporosis market. In 2006, Evista generated sales of $739m and Forteo returned revenue of $574m.
