MARKET OUTLOOK
The dynamics within the LABA/ICS FDC, LAMA, and biological drug classes will continue to shape the U.S. asthma market. The dominance of branded LABA/ICS FDCs (e.g., GlaxoSmithKline’s Advair, AstraZeneca’s Symbicort) will likely diminish as new generic / branded generic agents continue to launch over the next several years. In addition, the entrance of LABA/LAMA/ICS FDCs could create uptake challenges for Boehringer Ingelheim’s Spiriva. Finally, the launch of novel biologics and potentially an oral therapy will fuel competition and pricing pressure in the severe refractory segment of the asthma market. Overall, with the impending entry of multiple new branded and generic therapies, marketers of current and emerging asthma agents will be faced with increasing challenges to gain favorable formulary position and market uptake.
