The postherpetic neuralgia treatment market is largely dominated by large vendors who are competing based on market penetration and distribution. However, the consolidated nature of the post herpetic neuralgia treatment market fails to increase the profitability of the business owing to loss of patents and poor efficacy and efficiency of the treatment.
The post herpetic neuralgia treatment market is largely dominated by large vendors who are competing on the basis of market penetration and distribution. However the consolidated nature of the post herpetic neuralgia treatment market fails to increase the profitability of the business owing to loss of patents and poor efficacy and efficiency of the treatment.
However, growing awareness about the post herpetic neuralgia treatment and the growing geriatric population have increased the revenue opportunities for global post herpetic neuralgia treatment manufacturers. Companies, such as Pfizer Inc., Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Mylan N.V., Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc., hold more than 50% revenue share in the global post herpetic neuralgia treatment market.
The growth of the global post herpetic neuralgia treatment market is primarily driven by growing prevalence of post herpetic neuralgia and geriatric population. The development of healthcare infrastructure around the world coupled with the governmental support to post herpetic neuralgia treatment products is also expected to drive the growth of the post herpetic neuralgia treatment market.
However, the poor efficacy and efficiency of present post herpetic neuralgia treatment drugs are factors expected to hamper the growth of the post herpetic neuralgia treatment market. The companies are involved in developing new experimental post herpetic neuralgia treatment drugs.

The growing screening rates and the increase in geriatric population are the critical drivers of the post herpetic neuralgia treatment market. According to the Center for Diseases Control and Prevention, Shingles is increasing among adults in the United States. The prevalence of singles in is approximately 4 to 5 people per 1000 according to the Center for Diseases Control and Prevention, 1 out of 3 people in the United States will develop shingles during their lifetime.
The incidence rate of shingles ranged from 3.2--4.2 per 1000 population per year translating into an estimated 1 million cases annually of which approximately 10-18% develop post herpetic neuralgia in the U.S. Thus a large unmet need for the post herpetic neuralgia treatment market is easily comprehendible.
Post herpetic neuralgia generally affects adults, aged 50 and older and who are largely immunocompromised. According to the Center for Diseases Control and Prevention, among persons experiencing shingles, age is the primary risk factor for the development of PHN and the risk for PHN increases with age, particularly for persons aged >50 years.
Approximately 80 %-8 5% of PHN occurs in zoster patients aged greater than 50 years. The technological advances such as the development of the capsaicin and lidocaine has generated a large market enthusiasm in the global post herpetic neuralgia treatment market. Increasing investments in the research and development coupled with the development of pregabalin is expected to generate momentum and growth opportunities for the post herpetic neuralgia treatment market.

Get a Customized VersionConcerns over opioid use and the growing mortality from overdose are the prime constraints on the post herpetic neuralgia treatment market. Opioid overdose deaths account for 49,000 of the 72,000 drug overdose deaths in the USA in 2017. According to the center of disease control, around 66% of the more than 63,600 drug overdose deaths in 2016 involved an opioid and on average, 115 Americans die every day from an opioid overdose. The lack of definite curative treatment and the poor efficacy and efficiency of drugs is also hampering the post herpetic neuralgia treatment market growth.
New drug development is the large market opportunity for the post herpetic neuralgia treatment market. The development of any curative post herpetic neuralgia treatment drug is expected to drive a faster market adoption with minimal resources owing to lack of competition in the post herpetic neuralgia treatment market. Symptomatic treatment is the chief goal of post herpetic neuralgia treatment as there is no treatment for post herpetic neuralgia treatment.
The support to post herpetic neuralgia treatment products and initiatives by the governments of different countries is the other factors expected to boost the growth of the post herpetic neuralgia treatment market. Demographic drivers of the post herpetic neuralgia treatment market include the ageing of the world population and the growing healthcare expenditure around the world.

Calcium-channel blockers such as gabapentin and pregabalin are first line agents in the post herpetic neuralgia treatment. Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) possess analgesic effect, at lower doses than are required for their psychological effects. Their lower cost is another driver of the post herpetic neuralgia treatment market. However their side effects such as sedation, dry mouth, constipation, and urinary retention and orthostatic hypotension restrict their use. Their use is also contraindicated in patients with cardiac conditions. Amitriptyline and nortriptyline are the most used TCA’s for post herpetic neuralgia treatment. Steroids such as corticosteroids are administered in the terminal stage of post herpetic neuralgia treatment. However they have been limited by their side effects and poor efficacy.
Opioids such as oxycodone, morphine and methadone are third line post herpetic neuralgia treatment agents owing to their abuse potential and side effects such as constipation, nausea, itching, and sweating. Lidocaine and capsaicin patches are used in post herpetic neuralgia treatment despite limited evidence supporting their use.
