Market Overview
Niche Blockbusters Offer Promising Growth Potential
The patent expiry of blockbuster molecules has resulted in large pharmaceutical companies confronting intense competition from generics. CEOs have had to rethink strategies and devise alternative approaches to maintain the growth of their organisation and satisfy stakeholders. A focus on the market for niche blockbuster drugs represents a potential strategy that can be pursued by large pharmaceutical companies. For instance, there has been strong growth in the orphan diseases market, due to various incentives and benefits provided by governments. In the European Union (EU), the emphasis is on orphan diseases, as it is a promising, emergent market that offers the prospect of assured return on investment (ROI).
As leading pharmaceutical companies are facing increasing competition because of impending patent expiries of blockbuster drugs, a number of companies are pursuing merger and acquisition of small biotechnology companies. 'The market is set to witness major consolidation due to mergers and acquisitions among big pharmaceuticals and small biotech companies,' notes the analyst of this research. 'The lack of adequate investment to support the development of newer therapies and technologies has been a major challenge for small biotechnology companies, resulting in their tilt towards merging with larger companies.'
The European orphan diseases market grapples with numerous challenges. Of these, the most serious are the lack of awareness, poor diagnosis and limited accessibility of orphan drugs. 'There are diverse policies among EU member countries with regard to the accessibility of orphan drugs,' remarks the analyst. 'This is retarding market expansion.'
EU-wide harmonisation in the context of accessibility processes and price policies will reduce delays in the availability of orphan drugs. EU-wide co-ordination will also help in streamlining the regulatory process governing these drugs. EU healthcare ministers should encourage frequent discussions with patients, patient support groups and industry representatives to ensure a transparent and rapid approval process for orphan drugs.
