Asthma and COPD Drug Discoveries: what the future holds
Espicom Business Intelligence Ltd, Aug 2006, Pages: 96
A rapidly expanding sector
An estimated 300 million people around the world have asthma and the European Federation of Allergy and Airway Diseases Patients Association have indicated that this could increase to 400-450 million by 2025. Around 30 million people in Europe have asthma, six million of whom have severe symptoms and around 1.5 million live in fear of dying from an attack.
COPD is one of the top five causes of disability and death in industrial societies. According to the WHO, COPD is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide, based on 2004 data. In the US, COPD is projected to be the third leading cause of death by 2020.
Results of the National Health Interview Survey in the US indicate that 12.1 million adults over the age of 25 reported being diagnosed with COPD in 2001. Of these, 9.2 million reported being diagnosed with chronic bronchitis, 2 million with emphysema and 0.9 million with both conditions. According to the National Heart, Blood and Lung Institute, this compares with around 24 million adults in the US who have evidence of impaired lung function, which suggests COPD is under-diagnosed.
According to the European Respiratory Society, the total cost of asthma in Europe is €17.7 billion per year (White Book, 2003). In the UK, around 5.2 million people are currently receiving treatment for asthma. Of these, 1.1 million are children, equivalent to one in ten. According to Asthma UK, asthma costs the NHS an average of £889 million per year.
