Visiongain has launched a new pharma report Pharma Leader Series: Top 20 Asthma & COPD Companies : Company Overview, Marketed Products, Product Pipeline, Revenues, Forecast.

The asthma and COPD market benefits from increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases, coupled with the high economic cost of those diseases. The industry will also have more biologics and synthetic anti-inflammatory agents for both asthma and COPD, as companies look to identify and offer treatments for multiple patient sub-groups.

The lead analyst of the report commented "Developments in treatment are expected to continue as new drugs and emerging technologies become more widely available. This may include personalised treatments for certain types of asthma not responding to the stepwise approach of the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) guidelines and treatments tailored to the specific composition of individual patient’s airway inflammation. Inhaler technology will continue to innovate with ‘intelligent’ delivery systems allowing more precise targeting of specific areas of the lungs becoming more common. In addition, inhaler-based health monitoring devices providing feedback of inhaler use to patients and healthcare professionals offer the promise of improved treatment adherence and health outcomes."

Leading companies featured in the report include Aerocrine (Circassia), ALK-Abello A/S, Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc., AstraZeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim, Chiesi Farmaceutici, Cipla, GlaxoSmithKline, Lallemand Pharma International, Merck, MundiPharma, Novartis and more.
