Erectile Dysfunction Drugs Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast (2013 - 2019)

Erectile Dysfunction Drugs Market
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the most common sexual problems of men and the susceptibility to this condition increases with aging. The most likely causes of ED are effects of certain medications (anti-depressants and nicotine), chronic diseases (cardiovascular and diabetes), kidney failure, stressful life style and aging. Poor health, obesity, smoking and poor dietary habits may also cause ED. Hesitation in discussing this condition with physicians has resulted in a large pool of untreated patients. There is no gold standard test to identify ED and is usually diagnosed by going through medical history of the patient, a few physical tests and blood tests. Some blood tests are carried out to exclude underlying causes such as diabetes, high cholesterol level and cardiovascular diseases.


The first line therapy for the treatment of ED is use of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE-5) such as sidenafil, tadalafil and vardenafil. These drugs act by augmenting the effect of nitric oxide that relaxes penile muscles and ensures proper blood flow and allows erection. The use of these drugs is contraindicated when a patient is already taking nitrate drugs, anticoagulants and if he is suffering from cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Viagra (Pfizer), Cialis (Eli Lilly) and Levitra (Bayer) are the leading brand names in this segment.

The market for erectile dysfunction drugs is growing worldwide due to the rapidly increasing prevalence of ED and is predicted to be doubled by the end of 2025. At present, North America represents the largest market for these drugs due to the existence of large number of population affected with ED and high awareness about healthcare and wellbeing. The Urology Care Foundation, an official foundation of the American Urological Association, estimates that at present an average of 15 to 30 million people are suffering from ED across the country with varying levels of distress. The Massachussetts Male Ageing Study suggests that more than 50% of men aged over 40 years of age experience some degree of ED. 

Asia-Pacific represents a potential market for erectile dysfunction drugs due to growing aging population. One of the other factors expected to drive the market in Asia-Pacific region is increasing awareness about the disease and improvement in healthcare infrastructure.

Some of the prominent players operating in this market space are Pfizer, Inc., Eli Lilly, Bayer Healthcare, Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi, Astellas Pharma, Inc. and Merck & Co.

Microturbines Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast (2013 - 2019)

Microturbines Market
A micro-turbine is a system that generates power and is a combination of a small gas turbine and high speed generator. The combustor in a micro-turbinecan run on various types of fuel such as diesel, biogas, natural gas, hydrogen, alcohol, and LPG, emitting negligible toxicity. It is a revolutionary invention and can be used in a variety of applications where electricity needs to be generated. The biggest market for micro turbines is assumed to be the hybrid vehicle market. 


Micro turbines can also be used for providing power to grids where the grid network is weak. A micro-turbine can generate energy from 25 Kw to 500 Kw. The micro-turbine market is a niche market of power generation, but has significant presence in North America. Its production rate as well as revenue generation has been exemplary in the recent past, and it is expected that it will improve its market share in the foreseeable future. The potential market lies in Asia-Pacific and Latin America, where it is still at a nascent stage. 

Micro-turbines can be used in the new generation hybrid cars, which are the new age vehicles whose world-wide demand is expected to soar in the recent future. It has also targeted the high growth heavy vehicle sector as a potential demand driver. The low cost and the light weight of the micro turbines is another desirable property which puts its use in so many applications. With “Green Activism” on the rise, the need of the hour is to generate power with minimum toxic emissions and micro-turbines fit the bill. The heat generated from the micro-turbines can also be used for heating air or to produce steam, increasing its utility, and hence the market attractiveness.

However, there are some restraints associated with this market. The rising global fuel costs will eventually increase the cost of electricity generation, which might dampen the market. There are apprehensions about the longevity of the machines as well, as they require a lot of maintenance and have a limit to the number of times they can be started and stopped. Some of the major manufacturers of micro-turbines are Honeywell, Capstone, Northern Research & Engineering Corporation, and GE Power Systems, among many others.

Hydrogen Generation Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth and Forecast (2012 - 2018)

Hydrogen Generation Market
Hydrogen gas is a major energy source and is widely used in various industrial sectors such as petroleum refineries, chemical processing, automotive fuel, fuel cells, aerospace and many more. Commercially, hydrogen gas is produced by steam reformation of natural gas or by partial oxidation of petroleum oil. 


Hydrogen gas can be segmented into captive hydrogen generation and merchant hydrogen generation. The former involves the production of hydrogen by a company for self consumption in its business operations, whereas the latter involves purchase of hydrogen gas as a commodity. Hydrogen can either be produced on-site or centrally. On-site (distributed) generation is preferred as it lowers the risk associated with transportation and delivery of hydrogen. 

Methanol, ammonia and oil refineries are the primary application areas of hydrogen. The U.S. is the largest producer of merchant hydrogen roughly accounting for 50% of global production. China is the biggest consumer of merchant hydrogen, accounting for over 20% of the global consumption. The high demand in the region can be attributed to the high volume of ammonia production in the region.

The global market for hydrogen generation is primarily driven by strict regulatory norms of desulfurization of petroleum products, decreasing crude oil quality, and adoption of clean fuel sources. The major challenges faced by the industry are distribution and transportation of hydrogen and the high cost of hydrogen compared to fossil fuels. Innovations and large investment in terms of production methods, distribution, storage, and transport would provide the market with a growth opportunity. In addition to this, the increase in adoption of green fuel solutions in the automobile industry is expected to increase the demand for hydrogen. 


Some of the leading players in this industry include Air Liquide, Airgas Inc, Airox Nigen Equipments, Hydrogenics Corporation, Linde AG, Air Products & Chemical Inc, Xebec and Adsorption Inc. among others.
