The Antibacterial Drug Market Analysis 2008-2013 Publication Date   March 2008 Publisher   VISIONGAIN Product Type   Report Pages   not applicable ISBN Number   not applicable Product Code   VISG05

This brand new market analysis by visiongain examines the prospects for antibacterial drugs from 2008 to 2013, including sales forecasts for leading pharmaceutical products. The antibacterial market is large in terms of disease area as well as the different drug classes. However, this market is entering into a crucial period with many key products losing patent protection, facing heavy generic competition. In the light of this, including other factors, visiongain predicts this market to decline in revenues – but which products will suffer most? How can you fight this generic competition? The antibacterial drug market generated revenues of $30274m in 2006 – but what will it be in 2013? Only this brand new report will tell you.

The antibacterial market only contained one blockbuster drug in 2006, this being Johnson & Johnson’s Levaquin. Visiongain predicts that there will be room for one more blockbuster drug as Levaquin will lose patent protection. This detailed report also highlights pipeline developments and important contemporary issues, especially commercial drivers and restraints.

This report will specifically analyse the world markets for the following classes of antibacterials:
Cephalosporins
Macrolides
Penicillins
Fluoroquinolones
Carbapenems
Miscellaneous.

The group 'miscellaneous' is an assorted group of antibacterials which includes the minor classes: the tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, glycopeptides and sulphonamides plus individual antibacterials such as Zyvox and Vancocin.
