n product development programs which will result in new LABA/ICSs and LABA/LAMAs, the latter being a new and promising class of combination drugs. While all of these agents will achieve their greatest potential as components of combination products, drug marketers are expected to position these agents as add-on therapy to LAMA treatment and/or as monotherapies for first-line use in patients with moderate COPD in order to maximize the commercial potential of these molecules.

"While Advair and Spiriva dominated the COPD market in 2008, we expect their share of the COPD market to decrease through 2018," said Decision Resources Analyst Regina Jammen, M.Sc. "As new maintenance therapies and non-innovator versions of several market-leading branded products launch, the COPD market will shift from a few key products to numerous therapies with subsequently less market concentration on only a few brands. However, even with these changes to the market landscape, the unmet need remains for drugs that can dramatically reduce exacerbation rates and/or slow or halt the progression of COPD."
