PUNE, India, August 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

A new industry report titled "Innovation Tracking Factbook 2016 - An Assessment of the Pharmaceutical Pipeline" benchmarks pipeline against its size across each segment in 2015, covering an assessment of the level of first-in-class innovation. In addition, a detailed contextual analysis of the key drivers of this pipeline is provided, in addition to an assessment of companies present in the pipeline and historical deal value and volume.

The top three therapy areas - namely oncology, infectious diseases and central nervous system (CNS) disorders - accounted for a combined 68% of the overall pharmaceutical industry pipeline as of Q1 2016. Oncology is by far the largest therapy area, with almost 7,000 products in active development, almost matching the combined size of the next two therapy areas, infectious diseases and CNS disorders, which each have over 3,000 products in active development. There is also a great deal of pharmaceuticals pipeline activity in the next few therapy areas, with immunology, metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases each having pipelines consisting of over 1,000 products. Complete report on pharmaceutical pipeline and its innovation for 2016 is spread across 70 pages and now available at http://www.rnrmarketresearch.com/innovation-tracking-factbook-2016-an-assessment-of-the-pharmaceutical-pipeline-market-report.html .

With the cost of bringing a single novel drug to market estimated to be $2.6 billion in 2015, pharmaceutical companies are increasingly looking towards developing first-in-class treatments to maximize revenue and stay ahead of competition. Higher-risk programs for innovative first-in-class products remain attractive and have led to some of the most clinically and commercially successful products over the past decade, and the 4,964 first-in-class products currently in development represent 37.9% of pharmaceutical pipeline products with a disclosed molecular target.

Overall, 'me-too' drugs, which are structurally very similar to already-established drugs, have traditionally been highly commercially and clinically successful. These products continue to provide a well-established pathway for promising product developments due to a lower risk profile based on safer and more cost-effective incremental innovation. Oncology is a rapidly growing therapy area, in terms of both me-too and first-in-class oncology products. This growth was generally substantial in Q1 2016, with the largest three indications in terms of the number of products - namely breast, lung and colorectal cancer - each exhibiting pipeline growth in excess of 15%. The most rapid growth was witnessed in the smallest therapy areas, led by women's health, which grew by 55% in Q1 2016.
