The World Market for Prescription Orthopedic Drugs

The orthopedic drug market is a highly competitive market and, in some areas, the competitive environment is being shaped by increasing levels of generic competition. Several large pharmaceutical companies compete in the orthopedic drug market, including Abbott, Eli Lilly, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Novartis, and Pfizer among others, and several other suppliers, such as Serono, NovoNordisk, Amgen, and Genentech are developing or offering products in more niche market areas.

For the purposes of this study, the world market for orthopedic drugs has been segmented in a few general treatment segments:

  • Arthritis Treatments
  • Osteoporosis, Paget’s Disease, and Other Bone Loss Treatments
  • Growth Disorder Treatments
  • Other Orthopedic Treatments

In each segment, the report discuses common orthopedic diseases and conditions in general and provides detailed information on individual diseases and conditions and treatment approaches. Each segment provides an overview, world and U.S. prevalence of the various conditions, a detailed description of products on the market, products in the research and development pipeline, and market estimates and forecasts by geographical region (U.S. vs non-U.S.) and by treatment type, including:

  • NSAIDs and Cox-2 Inhibitors
  • Antirheumatoids (DMARDS)
  • SERMs
  • Estrogen Combinations
  • Bisphosphonates
  • Calcitonins
  • Polypeptide Hormones
  • Sandostatin Analogs
  • Skeletal Muscle Relaxants
  • Pain Medications, and more

Competitive market share by leading supplier and leading drug are also provided in each segment, and the report reviews current business, regulatory, and clinical issues and trends affecting the industry and the direction of research and commercialization.
