Some key findings of the report...
Over the 2000-04 period, the A8 pharmaceutical market outperformed the EU5 with a CAGR of 17.6% as compared to the EU5 CAGR of 15.4%. The high growth of the A8 market over this pre-accession period can be partially attributed to the success of the mature branded generics market in the region, which continues to be a major focus of market development.
High growth has been seen across the A8 region in the 5 major therapy areas, in comparison to a more stable growth in the EU5. The A8 governments can restrict the level of prescription drug spending through pricing reimbursement regulations, which vary among the states.
The cardiovascular therapy area is the most significant therapeutic area in the A8 region with sales of $2,166m in 2004, with anti-hypertensives recording the highest sales. Drivers in the A8 cardiovascular market include generic competition in calcium channel blockers and angiotensin receptor blocker classes. However, sales growth was slow in 2004, at 8.6%, mainly due to a lack of innovation in the area and the impact on price through increased generic competition.
