Introduction
Anti-dyslipidemics achieved global sales of $21.7 billion in 2002, a growth rate of 12.5% over 2001. Due to the maturing of the market, evidenced by the increasing availability of generic statins, growth in this market has slowed in recent years. However, increasing prevalence of dyslipidemia and the launch of novel adjunctive therapies and statin single-pill combinations will drive future growth

Scope


Highlights
Due to loss of patent protection in the major markets, Datamonitor forecasts Zocor's global sales to decline to $604m in 2011. In order to minimize this loss in sales, Johnson & Johnson MSD Consumer Pharmaceuticals has applied for OTC status for Zocor in the UK. However, this lifecycle-management strategy is unlikely to maintain Zocor's revenues

The increasing use of combination therapy will enable more patients to achieve target cholesterol goals. As a result, the development of statin single-pill combinations is an active lifecycle-management strategy being pursued by many statin manufacturers, with these therapies forecast to collectively achieve global sales of $4.7 billion in 2011

Zetia and Crestor represent the newest anti-dyslipidemics to reach the US and EU and both agents have been aggressively marketed. The benefit of using Zetia in combination with statins has led to rapid initial uptake. However, Crestor has encountered a number of setbacks since launch and concerns over safety have led to slower initial uptake
