Posted on: Friday, 13 January 2006, 09:00 CST

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c30827) has announced the addition of The Global Market For Hormonal Contraceptives and Infertility Drugs, 2005-2012 to their offering.

Drugs in reproductive medicine are evolving into highly sophisticated products with multifunctional pharmacological properties and clinical utilities. Novel contraceptive formulations with low side-effect profiles are providing women with flexible birthcontrol and menstrual management options whilst also offering secondary indications to treat coexisting endocrinological and gynaecological disorders. Furthermore, the increasing global prevalence of infertility is driving R&D to offer novel drug solutions to improve or restore male- and female-factor infertility, optimize fertilization and embryo implantation, and reduce miscarriage.

Recent advances in administering and formulating hormone-based drugs is enabling a revolution in contraception and infertility treatments. Over the next decade, the market for hormonal contraceptives and infertility drugs is predicted to expand considerably through innovation, new and expanding markets, and high value prospects that importantly offer novel solutions to unmet needs and demands of patients who wish to modulate or enhance fertility. The current mature market for hormonal contraceptives and infertility drugs is estimated at US$7.1 billion but is forecast to increase 40% to US$9.9 billion by 2012.

This report provides a detailed analysis of the global market for hormonal contraceptives and infertility drugs highlighting strategies for product extension and reformulation, sales forecasts to 2012 for leading products, and impact of late-stage pipeline drugs on the market. Therapy area forecasting and illustrative market data and analysis is also presented to offer insights into sector performance, which may enable the reader to make key assumptions about future markets and prospects.
