Overview of the global anticoagulant market
Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global anticoagulant market to grow steadily at a CAGR of above 7% by 2021. One of the primary drivers for this market is the rise in demand for novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs). NOACs target either thrombin or factor Xa to prevent and treat thrombosis. They show quick action and do not require continuous monitoring. They also have better safety and efficacy profiles when compared with conventional therapies such as warfarin. Moreover, the introduction of anticoagulant antidotes in 2015 such as idarucizumab into the market is expected to increase the acceptance of NOACs, as the risk of bleeding will be eradicated. Consequently, this will propel the growth of the global anticoagulant market during the forecast period.
In terms of geography, the Americas accounted for the maximum market share during 2016 and will continue to dominate the market for the next few years. The Americas market is growing at a significant growth pace with the introduction of NOACs. The warfarin showed high growth when compared with the oral anticoagulant. However, the revenue generated from the sales of warfarin is low due to the availability of generics, which are available at significantly lower prices. With vitamin K antagonists taking over the share of factor Xa inhibitors and DTIs, the Americas is expected to dominate to global anticoagulant market for the coming few years.
