Overactive Bladder Treatment Market : Current Industry Trends

The global overactive bladder treatment market is projected to reach USD 4.19 Billion by 2022 from USD 3.63 Billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 2.9%. The growth of market is majorly driven by the increasing geriatric population and consequently rising prevalence of bladder overactivity, aggressive marketing strategies by pharma companies, and the development of new therapies to treat bladder overactivity. However, the undesired systemic effects caused by anticholinergics may hinder the growth of the market to a certain extent.
Therapy approvals are regulated by various regional regulatory authorities. The changing regulatory scenario favoring overactive bladder treatments in a number of countries, such as the U.K. and Japan, will offer significant growth opportunities for market players. For example, the U.K.’s National Institutes for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) reimburses the BOTOX therapy. In 2007, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) launched an action plan to promote the safe use of generics.
In 2016, Astellas Pharma, Inc. (Japan) and Pfizer, Inc. (U.S.) dominated the global market. Some of the other players competing in market are Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (Israel), Allergan, Plc (Ireland), Medtronic plc (Ireland), Mylan N.V. (U.S.), Endo International Plc (Ireland), Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. (Japan), Sanofi (France), Aurobindo Pharma Limited (India), Apotex, Inc. (Canada), and Cogentix Medical, Inc. (U.S.).
Geographically, the global market is segmented into the U.S., Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. In 2016, the U.S. dominated the market and this is primarily attributed to its well-established healthcare industry with favorable reimbursement of overactive bladder treatment, growing prevalence of the disease with rising age, and the presence of major players.
