Erythropoietin Drugs Market By Drug Type (Epoetin-Alfa, Epoetin-Beta, Darbepoetin-Alfa), By Application Type (Anemia, Kidney Disorders) - Growth, Share, Opportunities & Competitive Analysis, 2017 - 2025

Erythropoietin is a growth regulating hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells. Red blood cells are produced in bone marrow and help in carrying oxygen throughout the body. Erythropoietin drugs are used to treat anemia caused due to chronic kidney diseases, cancer treatment or HIV. There are different types of erythropoietin drugs available in market such as Procrit, Epogen and Aranesp. Epogen is the first blockbuster biologic for anemia by Amegen approved by the FDA and is widely used. Rising prevalence of renal diseases, cancer and HIV is the major driving factor of erythropoietin drugs market.

Based on the type of application, the global erythropoietin drugs market is segmented as follows:

• Anemia (Cancer and HIV)
  • Cancer
  • HIV
• Kidney Disorders
• Others

Currently, kidney disorders occupy a large share of the global erythropoietin drugs application market, due to rising incidence of renal diseases. Amgen’s blockbuster drug Epogen was the first approved by FDA for treatment of anemia arising due to chronic kidney diseases. Therefore, being the first in the market and high adoption rate led to dominance of kidney disorders in the market. Anemia occurring due to cancer and HIV is the fastest growing segment of erythropoietin drugs market. Rising prevalence of cancer and corresponding high usage of chemotherapy treatment that causes reduction in the count of RBCs is commonly observed phenomenon that fuels the demand of global erythropoietin drugs market.

Based on the type of drug, the global erythropoietin drugs market is segmented as follows:

• Epoetin-alfa
• Epoetin-beta
• Darbepoetin alfa
• Others

Epoetin-alfa occupies the largest revenue share and dominates the global erythropoietin drugs market. Amgen’s Epogen (Epoetin–alfa) was the first billion dollar product of biotech industry that is widely used by physicians. It is the first biologic drug approved for treatment of anemia occurring due to cancer, HIV and chronic kidney disease. Epoetin-beta, a recombinant of Epo-alpha, also occupies significant share, due to better efficacy than alpha. Darbepoetin alfa is anticipated to be the fastest growing segment in the forecast period 2017-2025. It is also an Amgen product branded as Aranesp, a higher version of Epogen, with minimum side effect and high potency. With patent expiration, the biologics segment will decline, paving way to biosimilars in the market.

For the purpose of this study, the global erythropoietin drugs market is geographically categorized into:

• North America (U.S., Canada)
• Europe (U.K., Germany and Rest of Europe)
• Asia Pacific (China, Japan and Rest of Asia)
• Latin America (Brazil, Mexico and Rest of Latin America)
• Middle East and Africa (UAE, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Rest of Middle East and Africa)

In 2016, North America dominates the erythropoietin drugs market followed by Europe. Rising prevalence of chronic kidney diseases, cancer and HIV is the key reason for growth observed in erythropoietin drugs market in this region. According to the National Chronic Kidney Diseases fact sheet, around 15% of US adult suffer from CKD. Around 1.1 million people in U.S. are living with HIV, which bear a huge burden of mortality and morbidity. Well established healthcare infrastructure, and favorable reimbursement policies for chronic diseases, extensive research and development for novel drugs are some of the major factors that further fuels the growth of erythropoietin drugs market in North America. Most of the key players are based out of this region and are strategically expanding and strengthening distribution network thus raising their revenue share. Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest growing market in the forecast period 2017-2025. Asia Pacific is base to huge population pool that is perpetually growing, thus there is a corresponding increase in incidence of chronic diseases that would further lead to demand for low cost drugs. Hence, Asia Pacific would be the most lucrative market for upcoming biosimilars producing companies. Further with improving healthcare infrastructure, government funding would drive the erythropoietin drugs market.
