Introduction
Atopic Dermatitis - Japan Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2024
Summary
Although the past decade has seen the atopic dermatitis market remain relatively unchanged and a saturated, highly genericized arena, the coming decade could see the launch of the first biologic, which will set a precedent and pave the way for others to follow suit.
By the mid-to-late term of GlobalData’s 2014 to 2024 forecast, Sanofi/Regeneron’s dupilumab is expected to reshape the adult moderate and severe treatment landscape and to slowly enter the market for younger patients with milder forms of the disease.
Other events that are expected to invoke change to the previously stagnant atopic dermatitis market include the launch of a non-steroidal topical from Anacor, AN2728, generic erosion of branded topicals Protopic and Elidel in the US.
GlobalData values the atopic dermatitis market in Japan at 7.0m in 2014. Growth within that market will stem from the positive uptake of systemic agents and the pipeline therapy dupilumab. In terms of branded products, Protopic dominates the topical calcineurin inhibitor class in Japan with estimated sales of .5m in 2014. Since its key competitor Elidel is not available in Japan, Protopic’s strong stance in that market remains relatively unchallenged throughout the 10-year forecast.
