BCC Research Publishes a New Report On Global Markets for Smoking Cessation Medicines
Wellesley, MA (PRWEB) September 30, 2013 -- According to a new technical market research report, Medicines for Smoking Cessation: Global Markets from BCC Research (http://www.bccresearch.com), the global market for smoking cessation medicines was valued at $2.11 billion in 2012 and is expected to reach $2.12 billion by 2013. BCC Research projects the market to grow to $2.5 billion by 2018, and register a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4% from 2013 to 2018.
Pharmaceutical regulatory agencies began approving smoking cessation medicines in developed markets of North America and Europe in the 1980s. Since then, the smoking cessation medicine market has grown into a billion dollar industry. Undeniably, the demand for smoking cessation medicines has grown substantially in the developed markets of North America and Europe since 2000. At present, there are seven first-line medicines available in developed countries as smoking cessation medications.
The growing consumption of cigarette in developing and poor countries is increasing the health hazards and mortality rate associated with smoking. Consequently, these conditions are creating a demand for smoking cessation medicines in developing countries and emerging markets. Advanced research and development (R&D) directed towards smoking cessation medicines along with ongoing and strong initiatives from various public health departments to eradicate smoking are driving the growth of this market.
Reducing the prevalence of smoking is a national agenda of many nations, including emerging markets. This development provides an opportunity to manufacturers and marketers of smoking cessation medicines to expand organically. This study will help in understanding the length and breadth of the market as well as initiate strategies for effective capture of market share.
