Serotonin-norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors Market - An insight on the important factors and trends influencing the market

Serotonin-norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors: Overview
Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) or dual - uptake inhibitors represent one of the newest but important classes of antidepressants, which are commonly prescribed for anxiety disorders and depression therapeutic treatment. SNRIs were first launched in the international markets in 1993, when the U.S. FDA approved first of its kind Venlafaxine (Effexor) as an antidepressant, which would help treat numerous individuals suffering from varying anxiety disorders and/or depression.
However, SNRIs belong to that group of antidepressants, which are used as a second line treatment regimen for depression in addition to another antidepressants class called Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs). SNRIs work by blocking the re-absorption of two neurotransmitters in the brain, namely Norepinephrine and serotonin, thus, increasing the level of these two neurotransmitters in the nerve cells. This property of SNRIs helps elevate the mood of an individual suffering from depression or any type of anxiety disorder. No severe side effects have been observed to be associated with SNRIs usage; however, a few common side effects, such as nausea, dry mouth, excessive sweating and dizziness are generally associated with this class of antidepressants.
Serotonin-norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors: Key Drivers
Some of the major driving factors for the growth of this market include rising prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders globally, improved efficacy and reduced side effects of SNRIs available in the global market and rapidly increasing geriatric population. According to the WHO estimates, in 2012, more than 350 million people were found to be affected by depression worldwide. Similarly, the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA) estimated that, in 2012, around 14.8 million people in the U.S. were suffering from depression only.
Aged individuals are more prone to several depression and anxiety disorders; hence, high geriatric population in most of the developed economies and increasing age of people in developing nations will also contribute towards the growth of this market in future. Improved efficacy along with the reduction in the side effects due to SNRIs will further contribute towards the growth of this market. Some of the major drugs from this class that are available in the global market include Desvenlafaxine (Pristiq), Duloxetine (Cymbalta), Levomilnacipran (Fetzima) and Venlafaxine (Effexor XR). However, the market for SNRIs may face challenges in future due to recent expirations of lot of SNRIs and a weak pipeline of drugs from this class of antidepressants, which will cause the introduction of a large number of generics in the global market.
Serotonin-norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors: Region-wise Insight
Geographically, North America holds the leading position in the SNRIs market followed by Europe. Key factor responsible for their dominance in this market is high prevalence of anxiety disorders and depression in these regions, especially in the U.S. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2012, about 16 million adults aged 18 or above suffered from major depressive disorders in the U.S. Thus, large patient population suffering from depression and other disorders has helped the antidepressants market to grow significantly in the region. Moreover, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggested that frequent episodes of major depression were the leading cause of suicide and disability among the U.S. citizens aged between 15 years and 44 years.
However, emerging economies of Asia Pacific, Middle East, LATAM and Africa regions would present huge opportunities for the growth of this market in future. Key factors responsible for the growth of this market in these regions include economic growth, increased disposable income and enhanced affordability of branded formulations in these regions. Moreover, a growing geriatric population more prone to psychiatric disorders such as depression, clinical anxiety, bipolar disorder and other psychological conditions along with the presence of a large population base in the region would consequently raise the uptake of SNRIs.
Some of the major players operating in this market are Eli Lilly and Company, Forest Laboratories, Inc. and Pfizer, Inc.

Sweeping Reforms in Healthcare Sector will Create Multibillion-dollar Opportunities for Healthcare Contract Manufacturing Outsourcing Market, reports TMR

HealthcareIncreasing competition in the healthcare sector has impelled major companies to concentrate on the reformation of their business strategies along with the emphasis on product manufacturing, development, design, and marketing, reports Transparency Market Research in a new study. In this regard, contract manufacturing outsourcing has become a major need for the manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and medical devices as they strive to retain their position in the market. The top three companies in the global healthcare CMO market acquire approximately 17.2% of the global revenue with Catalent Pharma Solutions Inc. leading. The company was trailed by Lonza Group and Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH.
As the global healthcare CMO market is extremely fragmented with only a few companies dominating the market, the leading companies in this segment have taken up dominant competitive strategies, strong acquisition strategies, and high product development to maintain their lead in the market. Due to the availability of similar technologies and low product differentiation, the competitive rivalry in the market is expected to rise. Moreover, leading companies are investing on research and development projects to maintain a high level of competitive rivalry.
Patent Expirations of Drugs to Adversely Impact Demand for Healthcare CMOs
In the next few years, several renowned drugs are getting off patent leading to an increase in competition among developers of drugs. Innovative drug developers are collaborating with contract manufacturing organizations to minimize the risk of heavy competition from generic drug developers due to the increasing healthcare R&D cuts by federal banks. The degeneration in the productive outcomes of R&D and the rising inquiry from regulatory bodies during the approval process of drugs has led to a substantial increase in the demand for CMOs as several leading pharmaceutical companies have started outsourcing their drug development activities.
Furthermore, the need for product innovation and post engineering support service impelled manufacturers to outsource activities such as design, validation, prototype, feasibility tests, concept, and regulatory compliance. Thus, leading companies are seeking synergy with CMOs as a result of patent expirations and decreasing R&D budget.
Emerging Economies to Provide Opportunities for the Development of CMOs in Healthcare Sector
Countries such as India, China, and Brazil are emerging as key participants in the global pharmaceutical and medical device market as they own plentiful expertise and technologies for research and development. They also back medical giants in their respective research projects regarding lifesaving drugs and advanced therapies. Thus, these countries are expected to emerge as the major destinations for the outsourcing of medical device and pharmaceuticals. Global pharmaceutical companies consider these countries to be efficient for research centers and clinical trials. Various CMOs operating outside Asia have successfully attained FDA approvals and credibility for quality standards. The sanction of Good Manufacturing Practice certificates in emerging economies, especially in Asia, has led to a substantial growth of the healthcare CMO market.
Delayed Delivery of Supplies Could Dent Business Flow to CMOs
The three most important rules of the medical device and pharmaceutical industry are time to market, time to volume and time to profit. The failure of these can lead to the decline in customer satisfaction and manufacturer competitiveness. Due to the rise in the cost of research and development projects and absence of proper infrastructure and trained workforce, the pharmaceutical companies fail to diversify their product portfolio leading to a delay in supply delivery. Thus, the failure to deliver supplies on time is expected to hamper the growth of the contract manufacturing organizations market.
North America is projected to lead the global market for healthcare CMO with 32.9% followed by Asia-Pacific with a share of 31.2%. The global healthcare CMO market is anticipated to rise at a CAGR of 14.30% between 2013 and 2019 with a market worth of US$246.5 bn by the end of 2019 from a value of US$97.6 bn in 2012.
The review has been based on the findings of a TMR report titled “Healthcare CMO Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019.”
