Market Trends of Global Anticoagulants Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Anticoagulants Market according to our research experts:
Novel Oral Anticoagulants (NOACs) Segment is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share in the Anticoagulants Market
Novel Oral Anticoagulants (NOACs) segment holds a significant market share in the anticoagulants market and is anticipated to show a similar trend over the forecast period owing to the growing adoption of the novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) in developing countries and the high preference of NOACs over the warfarin.
Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are a new class of anticoagulant drugs. Moreover, these are safe (lower incidence of major bleeding), convenient to use, have no interactions with food, and have a shorter half-life. Some of the NOACs include dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban. These can be used in the prevention and treatment of atrial fibrillation/myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) update in June 2022, each year in the United States, approximately 900,000 people ((1 to 2 per 1,000 population) could be affected by deep vein thrombosis. Moreover, about 60,000-100,000 Americans die of deep vein thrombosis. Thus, the increasing incidences of cardiovascular disorders, venous thromboembolism (VTE), and technological advancements in the development of novel products are the key driving factors in the novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) segment.
Additionally, product launches and product approval anticipated market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in June 2021, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate) oral pellets to treat children 3 months to less than 12 years old with venous thromboembolism (a condition where blood clots form in the veins) directly after they have been treated with a blood thinner given by injection for at least five days. The FDA also approved Pradaxa oral pellets to prevent recurrent clots among patients 3 months to less than 12 years old who completed treatment for their first venous thromboembolism.
Thus, owing to the abovementioned factors, the market segment is expected to show growth over the forecast period.
North America Holds the Major Share in the Market Over the Forecast Period
North America is expected to hold a major market share in the global anticoagulants market due to the high demand for innovative products, and the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disorders in this region. For Instance, According to the American Heart Association Research in October 2021, approximately 2,300 Americans die due to cardiovascular diseases each day, an average of one death every 38 seconds.
In addition, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in February 2022, about 659,000 Americans die of heart disease annually. This represents almost 25% of all United States deaths. Thus increase in cardiovascular diseases the demand for anticoagulants increases in the region thereby boosting the market.
Furthermore, the presence of top pharma and biotech companies that are involved in the development of therapeutics and the presence of well-established healthcare infrastructure is also fueling the growth of the overall regional market to a large extent. For instance, in December 2021, The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson received Food and Drug Administration approval for two pediatric indications for XARELTO (rivaroxaban): treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and reduction in the risk of recurrent VTE in patients aged birth to less than 18 years after at least five days of initial parenteral (injected or intravenous) anticoagulant treatment; and thromboprophylaxis (blood clot prevention).
Thus all aforementioned factors such as increasing chronic diseases and product launches by key market players boost the market for anticoagulants in North America.
