About the Recombinant Human Erythropoietin (rhEPO) Market in China
Erythropoietin (EPO), also referred to as hematopoietin or hemopoietin, is a glycoprotein responsible for producing erythrocytes in the body. In the fetal stage, this protein is produced in the liver; it is secreted by the kidneys in adulthood. During anemic conditions, the body produces an excess of EPO, maintaining the inormal levels of red blood cells (RBC). When the endogenous production of EPO is disturbed because of diseases or the use of medications, the inormal RBC levels can be maintained by an external supply of EPO-stimulating agents (ESAs). These agents are similar to the inatural EPO in structure and function and are administered as injections. They can be produced by recombinant DNA technology and are used to treat anemia due to kidney diseases, cancer, HIV, injuries, or neural diseases.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) market in China to grow at a CAGR of 16.89% during the period 2016-2020.
Covered in this report
The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) market in China for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from the sales of branded and biosimilars used for the treatment of anemia due to renal diseases, cancer chemotherapy, antiretroviral therapy, and wounds and neural diseases. The report also considers the revenues to be generated from the sales of drugs that are expected to be launched into the market along with the decline in revenues from the patent expiries of the marketed drugs during the forecast period.
The market is divided into the following segments based on application of rhEPO:
• End-stage renal disease (ESRD)
• Cancer
• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
• Wounds and neural disease
