Overview of the global erectile dysfunction drugs market

Factors such as the growing elderly population, increasing awareness and patient education, elevated inclination towards a sedentary lifestyle, and growing incidence of several genitourinary diseases are expected to drive the growth of the global erectile dysfunction drugs market. Nevertheless, factors such as growing threat from counterfeit drugs, prevalence of STDs in ED drug users, and diminishing insurance coverage for ED treatment will greatly hamper the growth of the market.

The global erectile dysfunction drugs market will decelerate at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period of 2013 to 2019. In 2012, the global erectile dysfunction drugs market stood at US$4.3 billion and is expected to reach a market value of US$3.4 billion by end of 2019. The North American erectile dysfunction drugs market held substantial market revenue of US$2,098.4 million in 2012.

The top three erectile dysfunction drugs in the market are Cialis (tadalafil), Staxyn/Levitra (vardenafil), and Viagra (sildenafil citrate). In 2013, Viagra held the largest market share of 45% in the global erectile dysfunction drugs market. The patent expiration of Viagra, especially outside the U.S., in 2013, along with the loss of patent and marketing exclusivity of the drug Levitra from Bayer AG and Cialis from Eli Lilly in Europe and other countries will result in the market’s steady decline.

Nevertheless, the extended patent exclusivity of Viagra till 2020 is anticipated to allow this brand to hold a major market revenue share in the U.S. The market for Cialis is also predicted to demonstrate a decline in revenue during the forecasting horizon. In 2012, Cialis was the second largest drug segment in the global ED drugs market, with revenue of US$1,926.8 million.
