Research and Markets: Commercial Insight: Vaccines - Reaching Adulthood.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com) has announced the addition of Commercial Insight: Vaccines - Reaching Adulthood to their offering.

Introduction

The vaccine sector has historically been dominated by five key companies, which derived value from high volume sales or relatively cheap commodity vaccine products. However, recent years have seen the introduction of higher-value offerings, such as Wyeths Prevnar, and the involvement of a greater number of smaller vaccine players, changing the dynamics of this sector.

Scope

Historical sales analysis for total market and key vaccine sectors, including hepatitis B Hepatitis B Definition

Hepatitis B is a potentially serious form of liver inflammation due to infection by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It occurs in both rapidly developing (acute) and long-lasting (chronic) forms, and is one of the most common chronic

Highlights

The vaccine market continues to represent the fastest growing ID sector with historical growth reaching 26% (CAGR CAGR

 1999-2003). However, this has been driven by product improvements as opposed to new antigen coverage and, despite the increasing involvement of less influential players, significant barriers maintain the trend towards consolidation.

US initiatives aimed at increasing vaccine coverage in adults (READII and VFARH) and late-stage R&D activities (e.g. Adacel, Boostrix, Menactra and HPV vaccines Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is a vaccine that targets certain sexually transmitted strains of human papillomavirus associated with the development of cervical cancer and genital warts.[1] Two HPV vaccines are currently on the market: Gardasil and Cervarix. ) reflect the high unmet need in the adult sector. As a result of these factors, products aimed at the 11-65 group will drive future market expansion.

Historically, the benefits associated with vaccine life-cycle management (LCM (Liquid Crystal Monitor) A flat panel display that uses the liquid crystal (LCD) technology. See flat panel display. ) have been restricted by a lack of competition, reduced threat from generics players and limited options for such activities. However, as a result of the introduction of high-value vaccine products, the importance of effective LCM will become more apparent.

This report is designed to:

Benchmark R&D vaccines against current market leaders and assess opportunities for market penetration Noun 1. market penetration - the extent to which a product is recognized and bought by customers in a particular market
penetration - the act of entering into or through something; "the penetration of upper management by women"
 

Predict the future performance of current and future vaccine sectors, as defined by target disease and target patient group

Identify options for product enhancement and develop strategies that will infer real competitive advantage to your existing and R&D vaccines
