LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The global depression therapeutics market was worth $4.3 billion in 2010. It is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4% over the next eight years to reach $8 billion by 2018. The depression therapeutics market will witness the patent expiry of Lexapro in 2012, Cymbalta in 2013 and Effexor XR in 2014. However, the launch of new drugs such as Viibryd, LuAA21004, Levomilnacipran (F2695) and AGO178 (in the US), offering better efficacy and safety profiles, along with disease modifying properties, will help to sustain steady and positive growth during the forecast period to 2018.
The market for depression therapeutics is well served by the current approved drug classes, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). The depression therapeutics market will face the patent expiry of leading drugs such as Lexapro (2012), Cymbalta (2013) and Effexor XR (2014).
