Global urinary incontinence therapeutics market set to reach $3.4 billion by 2017 after growing at CAGR of 3.5%

31 August 2010

The worldwide urinary incontinence (UI) therapeutics market was worth around $2.5 billion in 2009. In 2001 the market was valued at $1.4 billion and it increased at an approximate compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8% from 2001 to 2009, according to a new report from GlobalData, which says that this market sector is expected to reach $3.4 billion by 2017 after growing at a CAGR of 3.5%.

Patent expiries will inhibit growth

The impending patent expiries of Pfizer's Detrol (tolterodine) and Novartis' Enablex (darifenacin hydrobromide) are the major reasons for the slow market growth expected from 2012 onwards, says the report.
