Overview:

Introduction

Over the next decade, the fragmented antibacterials market will shift away from a blockbuster-business model, as generic erosion of market leaders and increased competition between new hospital drugs will trigger a decline in sales of branded antibacterials. While there is a lack of innovation with regards to new community drugs, the hospital sector will remain the only notable source of growth.

Highlights

Over the next decade, genericization of key brands will drive a significant decline in market value, contributing to a loss of revenues of $3.2bn from Levaquin/Cravit/Tavanic, Zosyn/Tazocin, and Zyvox alone by 2019. Combined with growing resistance, this will cause increasing market fragmentation and reduce the potential for “blockbuster” sales.
The late-stage pipeline, much of which is targeting MRSA, will generate revenues totaling nearly $2.0bn by 2019. However, Datamonitor predicts that this upside will be insufficient to offset the decline caused by genericization, and total seven major market sales will fall from $19.6bn in 2009 to $16.4bn in 2019, with a CAGR of -1.8%.
