Introduction
The antihormonal cancer therapy market is characterized by a mature nature and a relatively high level of saturation. Despite this, growth will continue slowly at a CAGR of 0.9% during 2004-14, with those areas in decline offset by clear potential from new products and line extensions. Generic competition continues to threaten, although effective lifecycle management can dilute the overall impact.

Research and analysis highlights
The antihormonal therapies market was worth $4.8 billion in 2004, and is set to grow at a CAGR of 0.9% to reach $5.5 billion by 2014. This is due to the maturity of the market and its relative saturation, as well as the increasing threat of key patent expiries and entry of generic competition.
Despite the decline of some therapy classes, opportunities for new growth do exist. The aromatase inhibitors will drive significant market expansion, particularly in light of recent positive clinical trial data and ASCO recommendations that will serve to increase their profile and significantly increase uptake.
The remaining drug classes within the antihormonal therapies market will see a decline in sales growth, although volume is expected to remain more or less stable. Despite generic competition, the maturity and saturated nature of this market means further pipeline breakthroughs are unlikely unless significant clinical superiority is demonstrated.
