GlobalData estimated the global PAH therapeutics market was worth around $3.3 billion in 2011, having grown at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 38.6% from 2002 to 2011. PAH is a rare indication but despite the small patient volume, the market showed a tremendous growth in the historic period. This growth was due to the significant drug development activity corresponding to the launch of around eight premium priced drugs in the PAH therapeutics market from 2002 to 2011. Patient volume also increased during this period due to the increasing awareness.

The drugs used in the treatment of PAH are Tracleer (bosentan), Letairis (ambrisentan), Remodulin (treprostinil), Ventavis (iloprost), Revatio (sildenafil), Adcirca (tadalafil), Tyvaso (inhaled treprostinil) and Veletri (epoprostenol). The uptake of these drugs drove the market because of increase in Annual Cost of Therapy (ACOT) of PAH.

The global PAH therapeutics market is estimated to be worth $3.1 billion in 2020. It is forecast to show a negative CAGR of 0.6% from 2011 to 2020.

In 2011, the leading drugs in G7 market (the US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK and Japan) were Tracleer, Revatio, Letairis/Volibris and Remodulin with sales of $1,303.3m, $439.0m, $364.3m and $363.7m respectively.
