Intrathecal pumps classified under intrathecal drug delivery system are used to deliver small amounts of drug directly to the patient’s spinal fluid for relieving chronic back or spinal pain. This small programmed battery powered pump is surgically implanted under the subcutaneous tissue of the abdomen and is connected to a catheter tunneled to the site of spinal entry. Such devices consist of a computerized pain pump, a catheter and a reservoir which needs to be refilled every 1 to 3 months. In this drug delivery system, a lower dose of medication is required since the drug is delivered directly at the site of action and thus bypasses the phase of circulation throughout the body.


Intrathecal pumps market is categorized on the basis of the following applications:
  • Cancer Pain
  • Neuropathic Pain
  • Facial & Migraine Pain
  • Musculoskeletal Pain
  • Trauma
Globally, North America and western European countries dominates the intrathecal implant pumps market due to high prevalence of chronic or recurring pain in the general population, better reimbursement policies and increased awareness about healthcare and wellbeing in these regions. Emerging economies of Asia, Middle East and Latin America are predicted to incur the highest growth due to growing disease awareness and rising affordability in order to undertake such procedures.

Some of the key factors driving the growth of intrathecal pumps market are global growing elderly population and advances in technology. Increased incidences of cancer and diabetes, improved reimbursement policies and funding by government agencies, particularly in developing countries will further propel the intrathecal pumps market. However, high cost involved in implantation procedure of intrathecal pumps may pose a challenge to the growth of this market.

Antimigraine drugs are the therapeutic agents indicated to use against migraine headaches. Migraine is characterized by recurrent attacks of moderate to severe headaches along with other nervous system symptoms. Migraine is more common in women than men, majorly due to the fluctuations in the harmone levels. According to a Medline article, around 12% of the U.S. population suffers from migraine headaches. The two major types of migraine are classic and common. Classic migraine is characterized by sudden change in eye sight and experience partial blindness or double vision. On the other hand common migraine patients witness sudden headaches on one or both the sides of the head. 


Migraine has a serious social and economic impact; According to National Headache Foundation migraine sufferers experience a loss in more than 157 million work days every year. Migraines cause both personal and professional disturbances and add to the overall healthcare costs to a nation. The treatment of migraine headaches is facilitated by administration of preventive medications, to avoid the migraine attacks and abortive medications to relieve the intense and periodic pain. 

The market for anti-migraine drugs witnesses an upward growth curve majorly due to increasing incidences of migraine sufferers. The market can be segmented by type of therapeutic class of drugs involved in the treatment and geography. The major antimigraine drugs used against migraine includes the drugs belonging to the class, triptans such as Sumatriptan, Zolmitriptan, and others.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the most common sexual problems of men and the susceptibility to this condition increases with aging. The most likely causes of ED are effects of certain medications (anti-depressants and nicotine), chronic diseases (cardiovascular and diabetes), kidney failure, stressful life style and aging. Poor health, obesity, smoking and poor dietary habits may also cause ED. Hesitation in discussing this condition with physicians has resulted in a large pool of untreated patients. There is no gold standard test to identify ED and is usually diagnosed by going through medical history of the patient, a few physical tests and blood tests. Some blood tests are carried out to exclude underlying causes such as diabetes, high cholesterol level and cardiovascular diseases.


The first line therapy for the treatment of ED is use of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE-5) such as sidenafil, tadalafil and vardenafil. These drugs act by augmenting the effect of nitric oxide that relaxes penile muscles and ensures proper blood flow and allows erection. The use of these drugs is contraindicated when a patient is already taking nitrate drugs, anticoagulants and if he is suffering from cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Viagra (Pfizer), Cialis (Eli Lilly) and Levitra (Bayer) are the leading brand names in this segment.

The market for erectile dysfunction drugs is growing worldwide due to the rapidly increasing prevalence of ED and is predicted to be doubled by the end of 2025. At present, North America represents the largest market for these drugs due to the existence of large number of population affected with ED and high awareness about healthcare and wellbeing. The Urology Care Foundation, an official foundation of the American Urological Association, estimates that at present an average of 15 to 30 million people are suffering from ED across the country with varying levels of distress. The Massachussetts Male Ageing Study suggests that more than 50% of men aged over 40 years of age experience some degree of ED. 

Asia-Pacific represents a potential market for erectile dysfunction drugs due to growing aging population. One of the other factors expected to drive the market in Asia-Pacific region is increasing awareness about the disease and improvement in healthcare infrastructure.

Some of the prominent players operating in this market space are Pfizer, Inc., Eli Lilly, Bayer Healthcare, Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi, Astellas Pharma, Inc. and Merck & Co.

Dyslipidemia is a lipoprotein metabolism disorder characterized by abnormal amount of lipoprotein (LDL and HDL) concentrations in blood. It is usually caused by genetic factors, secondary factors or a combination of both kinds of factors. High density lipoproteins (HDL) are also known as good cholesterol and higher levels of these help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Higher levels of low density lipoproteins (LDL) or bad cholesterol are associated with the risk of heart attacks and strokes. 


The abnormal levels of cholesterol and triglycerides are capable of producing three forms of dyslipidemia namely, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia and a combination of both. Dyslipidemia is one of the major causes for the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. Appropriate drug therapy against dyslipidemia can be selected based on the detection of varying concentrations of specific lipoproteins in the blood. The treatment approach adopted by physicians starts with non-drug interventions, which includes lifestyle modifications and exercise followed by pharmacotherapy which includes the use of lipid lowering drugs. 

The seven major classes of lipid lowering drugs used in the treatment of dyslipidemia are bile-acid sequestrants, nicotinic acid, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), cholesterol modulators, fibric acid derivatives, cholesterol absorption inhibitors and combination products. Statins are the most widely used drugs to treat dyslipidemia. The dyslipidemia market can be segmented by the various drug classes mentioned above and by geography.  

The major factors influencing the growth of this market are sedentary lifestyle, higher inclination towards junk food, increasing incidence of cardiovascular diseases across the globe and associated risks. Patent expirations and high genericization may mask the growth of this market. With the patent expiration of Pfizer’s Lipitor, Merck’s Zocor and Bristol-Myers Squibb’s Pravachol, the dyslipidemia market is expected to experience a decline in sales of branded formulations and in turn decline in overall growth of this market. Some of the major players in this market are Pfizer, Inc., Merck & Co, Inc., Bristol-Myers Squibb, Novartis AG, AstraZeneca PLC and Abbott Laboratories.

Bioterrorism refers to form of terrorism that involves intentional dissemination or release of biological agents. The agents can be viruses, bacteria or toxins and can also be referred to as germ warfare. Biological agents are mainly found in nature but sometimes they can be modified by the terrorist as to make agents more toxic. Biological agents are used by the terrorists to attain their social or political goals and are used for killing or injuring people, plants and animals. Biological weapons are dangerous as some of these agents are transmitted from one person to another and infection might take hours or days to become noticeable.

Bioterrorism is an invaluable tool as biological agents are relatively inexpensive and can cause widespread fear beyond the actual damage they can cause. They are mainly used by the terrorists to create mass panic and disruption of state or economy. The global market for bioterrorism is segmented on the type of different biological agents currently being used and their mode of delivery.  Agents such as anthrax, tularemia, small pox, bubonic plague, botulinum toxin and viral hemorrhagic fevers pose a high threat to national security. 

Another category involves toxins such as typhus, glanders, Q fever, viral encephalitis and others poses moderate threat and involves low mortality. Last category involves emerging toxins that are engineered for mass dissemination, high mortality rate and ability to cause major health impact. Hantavirus, Nipah Virus, SARS, HIV/AIDS and H1N1 virus falls under this above mentioned category. The mode of delivery of these biological agents can be via aerosol dissemination, water contamination, food contamination, insect vectors and others.

However, federal government supports many programs and researches but it does not provide any direct protection against bioterrorists attacks for many important buildings. These buildings include theaters, shopping centers, large buildings and others. In the United States virtually all these buildings remain susceptible to bioterrorist attack. Key protection to these facilities involves the presence of warning systems which provide immediate response to such attacks.

Some of the major players that provide and bioterrorism defense products are Acambis Plc, Evogen, Inc., Human Genome Sciences, ICX Technologies, Inc., PharmAthene, Inc. and others.

Antipsychotics are drugs used in the treatment of brain disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and severe depression. According to the New York Times, antipsychotics are one of the largest types of prescribed drugs in the United States with over 3.1 million Americans accounting for a market worth USD 18 billion in 2011 itself. Global estimates suggest that over 1.25% of the global population suffers from psychosis and related disorders. This brings a market of about 7.5 million people suffering from combined disorders of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, dementia, depression among other rare conditions. 


Several recent studies have suggested instances of drug abuse and over prescription of these drugs in the market, particularly in North America. Clinical studies have shown severe drawbacks and addiction to antipsychotic drugs. A serious side effect observed is tardive dyskinesia which is a potentially irreversible movement disorder.
