Volume I Abstract
The World Market for Antifungal Medications
The market for pharmaceuticals targeted to treat human fungal infections is poised to experience strong growth over the next few years. This report from Kalorama Information provides details and insight into the current $4+ billion worldwide market for anti-fungal treatments and the near 10% annual growth that will move the market in the near term.

Among the issues spurring growth is an aging population that is increasing the demand for medicines, including anti-fungal drugs, that will improve their lives as they grow older. In addition, the market is currently under-treated and underserved by existing anti-fungals, mainly in the amphotericin and a variety of azoles. Developing new successful and potent anti-fungal medications remains challenging, and the hunt has been underway for new therapeutics that will be able to improve efficacy, avoid multiple drug interactions, and offer an improved safety profile. Many drugs on the verge of the commercial market purport to achieve of these objectives. Optimizing their mode of delivery will help optimize their activity and reduce costs for the developer.

This report offers an overview of the world anti-fungal market, including insight into the anti-fungal activities of the major players such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Novartis, and others. It also examines the efforts of smaller companies that are developing their own niches, and which may be the source for many more effective anti-fungal therapies. The report forecasts the world market for anti-fungal therapies through 2006 and offers details on specific segments of the market. In addition, the report examines patent and exclusivity expiration timing and issues for many key anti-fungal pharmaceuticals.

Volume II Abstract
The World Market for Antibacterial Medications
November 2002

Demand for effective antibacterial compounds is growing rapidly and companies are trying to fill their pipelines with products that can meet the challenges of increasingly stubborn infectious agents. By far the largest of the anti-infective segments, antibacterials represent approximately 65% of the $20+ billion world market in infectious disease drugs. However, it’s also the most crowded of the segments with big pharma and small biotech companies alike speeding toward the market. The second volume of Kalorama’s ongoing market study on anti-infectives tackles this large and dynamic segment with a global report on the clinical, regulatory, business, and even political forces that are shaping the rapidly changing antibiotic market.
