Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder experiencing increasing prevalence globally, due mainly to the aging of the population and the increasing life expectancy worldwide. Osteoporosis fractures are a major cause of disability and morbidity, particularly among older people, and lead to decreased quality of life and increased costs due to disability and need for assisted living. The market for osteoporosis drugs is large, with global revenues exceeding $8.4 billion in 2008, and projected to grow. Prescription drugs for this indication could have great commercial success; four currently marketed drugs in this indication had global revenues of more than $1 billion at some point in their lifecycle. Additionally, several new drugs are projected to enter the market through 2014 and are expected to contribute to the overall osteoporosis market growth.
