Hormone Replacement Therapy – Pipeline Analysis and Market Forecasts to 2016
GlobalData estimated the global hormone therapy (HT) market to be worth .1 billion in 2009, indicating a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -6.8% between 2001 and 2009. This decline in the market is mainly attributed to poor patient compliance as a result of the serious safety concerns associated with hormones. By 2016, the market is forecast to record .3 billion, with a CAGR of 1.2% between 2009 and 2016. The market is restrained by factors such as the poor acceptance of hormone therapies in patients as well as physicians. Also, the approaching patent expiries of several hormone therapies and increased interest in non-HT therapies are expected to favor the marginal growth of HT market.
GlobalData found that the current competition in the hormone therapy market is strong. Several products are available in different dosage forms such as oral tablets, vaginal creams, rings and tablets, transdermal patches, sprays, syringes, intrauterine systems and combination products. Hormone therapy has been the treatment of choice since the 1960s. Premarin and Prempro have been the market leaders in postmenopausal women. The major players in the hormone therapy market include Pfizer (Wyeth) and Novo Nordisk. Hormone therapy has been the most efficacious therapy for treating postmenopausal symptoms to date. There have been safety concerns associated with the use of HT, but the low dose and ultra-low dose versions of hormones used for a short time have gone some way in meeting the unmet need. However, there has been no good data to prove the safety of these minimized doses of HT.

Prostate Cancer – Germany Drug Forecasts and Treatment Analysis to 2020
GlobalData analysis finds that the prostate cancer therapeutics market in Germany is attractive and is primarily driven by the growth in the hormone-refractory prostate cancer therapeutics market. The growth in the number of total patients receiving treatment and increase in the annual cost of hormone-refractory prostate cancer therapy is expected to offset the impact of generic erosion in hormone-dependent prostate cancer therapy. The patient volume was driven by growth in treatment usage patterns such as diseased population, treatment seeking population, diagnosis population and prescription population. The annual cost of prostate cancer therapy between 2001 and 2009 was driven by increased uptake of chemotherapy using Taxotere. Expected launch of new therapies such as Provenge (sipuleucel-T) and Jevtana (cabazitaxel) will further drive the annual cost of therapy.
Hormone therapy using combination of hormone therapies such as LHRH agonists and androgen receptor antagonists is a prominent treatment regime. Taxotere is the current standard of care for patients that stop responding to hormone therapy. The introduction of new therapies for metastatic prostate cancer is expected to expand the market further.
