Research and Markets: Pfizers Branded Drugs Are Forecast To Capture a Substantial 41% of the Neuropathic Pain Market Share In 2016.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c72356) has announced the addition of Pipeline Insight: Neuropathic Pain - Emerging drugs fail to capitalize in lucrative market to their offering.

Introduction

The neuropathic pain market is forecast to double from 2006 to reach over $7 billion by 2016. At this time, the current late-stage neuropathic pain pipeline is forecast to take only 18% of the total market share, highlighting an opportunity for better pipeline drugs that demonstrate improved pain management. The most promising and closest pipeline drug to market is UCBs Vimpat (lacosamide).

Scope
