Decision Resources, Inc., one of the world's leading research and advisory firms focusing on pharmaceutical and health care issues, finds that as larger pharmaceutical companies retreat from the hospital antibiotics market, smaller pharmaceutical companies, such as Cubist, Vicuron, Basilea, and Novexel are poised to establish niches in this arena. According to the new DR Pipeline Report entitled Hospital Antibiotics Pipeline Analysis: Big Pharma's Retreat Creates Opportunities for Biotech, large pharmaceutical companies such as Roche, Wyeth, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, and GlaxoSmithKline have dominated the market but many of these companies have mature products that are facing recent or impending competition from generics.
"The large pharmaceutical companies have retreated from investing in early-stage antibiotics development and appear to be shifting toward a model of outlicensing preclinical drug candidates and inlicensing advanced-stage drug candidates from smaller companies," said Aaron Woolsey, Ph.D., analyst at Decision Resources. "Even though larger pharmaceutical companies and generics manufacturers will still dominate the hospital antibiotics drug market, new, innovative products developed by smaller pharmaceutical companies will, collectively, begin to command a growing share of the market."
About the Hospital Antibiotics Market
The hospital antibiotics market is comprised of drugs that treat infections that are acquired either in the hospital (hospital-acquired infections) or in the community (community-acquired infections) and are treated in a hospital-based setting. Hospital based-infections cause considerable morbidity and are of grave concern to both patients and clinicians.
