Report Description
Human erythropoietin is mostly produced by kidneys. It usually stimulates the human bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Inadequate production of human erythropoietin could lead to severe anemia. Epoetin alfa is an artificially made human erythropoietin. Developed by recombinant DNA technology, epoetin alfa acts as a catalyst to stimulate human erythropoietin production. Epoetin alfa is used to treat severe anemia, various neurological diseases, and cancer. It lowers the requirements of blood transfusion.
The global epoetin alfa therapeutics market is driven by high prevalence of anemia and neurological abnormalities, high diagnosis and treatment rate of cancer and anemia, favorable medical reimbursements, and strong health care infrastructure. High R&D investments and technological advancements are projected to propel the global epoetin alfa therapeutics market in the near future. However, side effects associated with epoetin alfa therapy such as joint pain, itching, headache, cough, rash, and nausea are anticipated to act as restraints of the global epoetin alfa therapy market during the forecast period.
Epoetin alfa therapy is mostly used to treat anemia and several types of
cancer. According to a research published in the Current Treatment Options
in Neurology, epoetin alfa has shown positive results in the treatment of
traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and stroke. In terms of
application, the global epoetin alfa therapeutics market can be segmented
into anemia, cancer, neurology, and others. Based on route of
administration, epoetin alfa therapeutics market can be classified into
subcutaneous and intravenous. In terms of distribution channel, the global
epoetin alfa therapeutics market has been divided into hospital pharmacies,
retail pharmacies, drug stores and others.
Geographically, the global epoetin alfa therapeutics market can be
segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and
Middle East & Africa. A ten-year study on prevalence of anemia in the U.S.
revealed that 3% to 5% of the U.S. population suffered from anemia in 2016.
Prevalence of anemia in Europe was estimated at 6% to 7% in 2016. Moreover,
a significant population of these two regions suffer from cancer and
neurological disorders. High prevalence of anemia, neurological disorders,
and cancer, high treatment cost, availability of medical reimbursement,
well-established medical infrastructure, and technological advancements
drive the epoetin alfa therapeutics market in North America and Europe.
Asia Pacific is expected to account for the third largest share of the
epoetin alfa therapeutics market. However, epoetin alfa therapeutics market
in the region is anticipated to expand at the highest growth rate during
the forecast period. This is attributed to large population, market
penetration of epoetin alfa products, and technological developments.
Furthermore, highest percentage of population suffer from anemia in Africa;
more than 10% of the population of the region suffered from anemia in 2016.
High prevalence of anemia, low awareness, lack of treatment of anemia, and
unavailability of epoetin alfa products in Africa are the major factors
that restrain epoetin alfa therapeutics market in Middle East &
Africa.
Key players in the global epoetin alfa therapeutics market include Amgen, Inc., and Janssen Products, LP (a Johnson and Johnson Company).
