The asthma market consists of many well-established therapies, including inhaled agents (e.g., GlaxoSmithKline’s Advair / Seretide, AstraZeneca’s Symbicort, Boehringer Ingelheim’s Spiriva), oral drugs (e.g., montelukast), and biologics (e.g., Roche / Novartis’s Xolair, GlaxoSmithKline’s Nucala). However, market dynamics are evolving as branded generic and generic alternatives to inhaled blockbuster agents continue to launch and new biologics targeting niche populations within the severe asthma segment are approved. These events have increased—and will continue to increase—competition in this lucrative market. With the impending entry of an additional biological therapy, the launch of branded generic and generic inhaled drugs in new markets, and the potential launch of LABA/LAMA/ICS combination agents, the asthma market is poised to experience change over the next decade.
