The forecast, which pertains to the top eight developed nations, estimates that the market will expand from its 2013 value of US$18.4 billion to US$21.7 billion by the end of 2020.

Asthma Therapeutics Market to 2020 - Personalized Treatment for Severe Asthma to Drive Market Growth despite Patent Expirations

Meager as the growth may look, it is important to note that the asthma therapeutics market is on the verge of witnessing widespread generic erosion. Patent expirations are expected to eat into the revenues of blockbuster drugs such as Advair (fluticasone propionate/salmeterol xinafoate), Xolair (omalizumab), and Symbicort (budesonide/formoterol fumarate). This sea change in the global asthma therapeutics market will be brought about by the entry of new players as well as the growing pervasiveness of asthma itself.

The report notes that there is unparalleled industry interest in monoclonal antibodies and biologics, with the former enjoying more attention within the indication. Clinical trials have shown encouraging results for new monoclonal antibodies; some of these include: Lebrikizumab, mepolizumab, dupilumab target Interleukins (IL), and reslizumab. These molecules are seen to be beneficial in inadequately controlled or severe eosinophilic asthma. These drugs, which will constitute a sizeable chunk of the personalized asthma therapeutics market, will target a small section of asthma patients, but will carry steep price tags and still drive market growth. This, market experts predict, will ostensibly offset the detrimental effects of generic erosion.

Healthcare systems worldwide are already heaving the burden of growing incidences of asthma, show figures from the World Health Organization. The disease—which affected an estimated 300 million people worldwide in 2007—is projected to spread to 400 million people by 2025. While the better part of asthma patients are able to bring their symptoms under control using products currently available on the market, there is still a considerable chunk of asthma victims that cannot do so. This unmet need in the global asthma therapeutics market has kindled the interest of pharmaceutical companies and other industry players.

This has proven highly beneficial to the current asthma pipeline, with several promising molecules reported to be on the anvil. A number of these molecules are in the later stages of development and are expected to hit the asthma therapeutics market as early as 2015-16.

Global Acetone Market Analysis Report Now Available In MRRSE - Market Research Report 2020


Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment, 2014–2020’ to its database. The report finds that global acetone consumption stood at 5.9 million tonnes in 2014, and is poised to grow at a meager 3% CAGR from 2014 to 2020 to reach a little over 7.21 million tonnes by 2020. The report has been published by MRRSE.

Acetone Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment, 2014 - 2020

The key drivers identified by the study are: The chemical sector’s dependence on acetone as a solvent, the use of acetone as a chemical in several processes, and the escalating use of BPA in the global automobile sector. On the other hand, the report warns that hurdles such as increasingly stringent government mandates for the chemical industry and the growing acceptance of bio-based acetone will restrict growth to some degree.

In order to offer highly detailed insights into various facets of the global acetone market, the report dissects each segment of the market into smaller sub-segments. The market, thus segmented, features the following applications of acetone: Methyl methacrylate (MMA), solvent and Bisphenol A (BPA). At 28.3%, the consumption of acetone in the MMA application segment was seen to be the highest as compared to all other applications in 2014. Until 2020, this application will gain a firm foothold in the acetone market, and it is unlikely to be surpassed by any other single application segment.

MMA and BPA together held a combined market share of nearly 60% of the overall acetone consumption as of 2014. Moving forward, until 2020, these two shares will continue to maintain their position in the market, the report states.

The findings of the report also show that robust growth will be seen in the MMA segment through the forecast period thanks to consistent demand for acetone from the electronics and chemicals industries. BPA, on the other hand, is extensively required in the production and processing of spectacle lenses, water bottles, medical equipment, digital media equipment, consumer electronics, cellphones, and other business equipment. All of these factors will be further supplemented by the increasing utilization of acetone in personal care products and an array of household products.

By 2020, Asia Pacific will be the most dominant region in the consumption of acetone. The demand for acetone here is on an upswing in the industrial sector of countries such as China, South Korea, India, Indonesia and Malaysia. The region is already influential in the acetone market, accounting for 41% of the global consumption of acetone in 2014. The share of North America (21%) in the acetone market dwarfs in comparison to APAC. Recently, several major players in the global acetone market reported capacity expansion. It now remains to be seen whether, and how, these enhanced capacities will impact the inherent dynamics of the global acetone market.

Global Market Study on Diabetic Nephropathy: Asia to Witness Highest Growth by 2020

Diabetic nephropathy, a condition that increase the risk of mortality in diabetes patients, is being widely reported across the world due to the sheer increase in the number of obese people and diabetics. The disease affects the kidneys, ultimately rendering them ineffective. This has necessitated investments in formulating treatments for diabetic nephropathy, leading to a teeming therapy pipeline in major markets of the world.

The drugs, however, are faced with long approval times (essentially because there are scores of regulatory hurdles) making it difficult for pharma companies to bring novel products to the market in short turnaround times. Moreover, there is a general lack of broader therapeutic management for the disease. All of these factors will play a role in curtailing the growth of the global diabetic nephropathy market.

The report notes that North America has the highest degree of awareness about diabetic nephropathy. Government initiatives such as the National Kidney Disease Education Program can be credited for this. The market here continues to organically grow because of a parallel increase in the number of people suffering from diabetes in America. Estimates from the SciELO Public Health state that in 2000 about 35 million people in North America suffered from diabetes mellitus; by 2025, this number will soar to 64 million in the region. The European diabetic nephropathy market is also on an upswing because here too, diabetes is increasingly being reported. International Diabetes Federation (IDF) says that the amount expended on diabetes treatment in the European region was pegged at US$105.5 billion in 2010, and will hit US$124.6 billion by 2030.

The highest potential for growth lies in the Asia Pacific diabetic nephropathy market. The region is witnessing an escalation in the incidence of diabetic nephropathy in Japan and other Southeast Asian nations.

Moving forward, companies in the diabetic nephropathy market have a lucrative opportunity in developing combination therapies.
