'Report predicts multiple sclerosis drug market will reach $15.8bn in 2015' says Visiongain

Nov. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Visiongain forecasts that the MS drug industry and market will expand to 2015. There will be strong revenue growth in established and developing pharmaceutical markets, especially the US, Japan and the UK. The MS treatment market will change with the launch of new agents that slow symptom progression and reduce relapse rates.

John O'Neill, a pharmaceutical industry analyst at visiongain, said: "Entry of more-efficacious treatments to the MS drug market - and drugs that can be taken orally rather than injected - will expand the treated patient population. There is scope for important developments in national markets such as the UK, where the number of MS patients is high and treatment can be improved."

In particular, this new study predicts the future of the drugs Copaxone, Avonex, Rebif, Betaseron/Betaferon, Tysabri, Extavia and Gilenya, showing revenue forecasts to 2022. The report discusses companies such as Biogen Idec, Teva, Sanofi, Novartis, Merck Serono and Bayer. It also assesses the R&D pipeline for treating multiple sclerosis and forecasts leading national markets.

With a strong R&D pipeline, the MS treatment market will expand this decade. Products from its pipeline will help patients, as will extensions of the indication ranges for marketed drugs. Multiple Sclerosis Treatment: World Drug Market 2012-2022 adds to visiongain's range of analytical research reports on immune disorders, neurodegenerative disorders and other therapeutic areas.
