ANTITHROMBIN MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

Therapeutic drug pipeline or advancements in drug administering technology is also expected to fuel growth of antithrombin market. For instance, Fitusiran (ALN-AT3), developed by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is a subcutaneously administered, investigational RNAi therapeutic targeting antithrombin (AT). This therapeutic that can be used for the treatment of hemophilia and rare bleeding disorders (RBDs) is in late stage (Phase 2-phase 3) clinical trial. Moreover, GTC Biotherapeutics, Inc.’s product called as ATryn Antithrombin (Recombinant), derived from human blood donors, is used for hereditary antithrombin deficiency and it recently got market approval in the U.S., thereby significantly contributing to the growth of antithrombin market. Therefore, introduction of new types of antithrombin products with different indication over the forecast period is expected to fuel growth of the global antithrombin market. Furthermore, increasing use of antithrombin in combination with heparin is likely to support the growth of antithrombin market. For instance, heparin resistance in cardiac surgery is likely to create opportunities for use of antithrombin products in anticoagulation therapy.

However, increasing regulations on animal testing have impeded a number of healthcare companies from manufacturing new drugs, thereby restraining the market growth.
