Migraine presents a major public health burden in China, leading to impaired quality of life, widespread health loss, and loss of productivity for a sizeable population. Owing to migraine’s nonfatal nature, awareness about the disorder in China is low, particularly in the rural areas. Treatment of migraine is based on the use of older, generic drugs, such as rizatriptan, topiramate, flunarizine, diclofenac, and lomerizine. However, despite the availability of several such drugs, a significant unmet need exists for more-efficacious and prophylactic therapies for migraine. We expect that several novel therapies for migraine will launch during the forecast period in China, leading to significant market growth. Moreover, we expect ongoing reforms in China’s regulatory and A&R landscape to encourage MNCs to enter the migraine market.
1. How large is China’s drug-treatable migraine population, and how will the drug-treatment rate change during the forecast period?
2. Which are the most commercially relevant drugs in China’s migraine market and why? What are interviewed experts’ insights into current treatment options? Which clinical needs remain unfulfilled?
3. What are the key market access considerations for key therapies in the migraine pipeline in China? What is their potential in terms of sales/uptake in migraine? What are interviewed experts’ opinions on these key emerging therapies?
4. What are the key drivers and constraints in the Chinese migraine market, and how will the market evolve over the forecast period?
