This report covers antiviral therapeutics including HIV therapeutics, Hepatitis therapeutics, Herpes therapeutics, CMV therapeutics and Influenza therapeutics. Generics in antiviral market are forecast to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% during 2010-2018, largely due to series of patent expiries in the antiviral market. In 2010 generic HIV/AIDS therapeutic market sales contributes 46% market share in the total generic antiviral therapeutic market followed by generic herpes therapeutic market with 39.6% of market share. It is estimated that in 2010, generics accounted for 18.9% of market share in global antivirals market, and this market share is forecast to grow and reach 29.2% by 2018.
Generics in global antivirals market are estimated to be $4.2 billion in 2010 and are forecast to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% and reach $9.2 billion by 2018. From 2004, the market grew at a CAGR of 21.1% to reach $4.2 billion in 2010. Global generic antiviral market is comprised of revenues generated by various generic antiviral drugs. In 2010, it is estimated that generics in HIV market accounted for largest market share in total generic antivirals market.

Series of patent expiries of key antiviral drugs will positively impact the market. Increase in patient population, reforms in government policies towards the use of generic drugs could be other major drivers of the market during the forecast period.
GBI Research projects that global generic HIV market will grow at a CAGR of 6.7% during 2010-2018. Growth in the market could be attributed to loss of patent exclusivity of key antiviral drugs. The market is currently dominated by products such as zidovudine, didanosine, stavudine and lamivudine. Launch of Combivir (lamivudine/Zidovudine) is expected soon, which can significantly influence the market.
GBI Research forecast's that global generic herpes market will grow at a CAGR of 9% during 2010-2018. Global generic herpes therapeutics market grew at a rapid rate of 32.4% from 2004 to 2010. The market revenue during this period was driven primarily by generic product such as acyclovir. In 2009, after patent expiry of Valtrex (valacyclovir), its generic equivalents were launched. In 2010, Famvir (famciclovir), potent antiviral from Novartis lost its patent exclusivity and its generic equivalents are currently available. In April, 2011, Mylan launched generic version of famciclovir.

HIV Generics Take Over the Antivirals Market.
Generics are predicted to take over the antiviral drugs market, especially in the case of HIV medication, as a series of patent expiries will open opportunities for ambitious companies to seize huge revenue, according to a new report by healthcare experts GBI Research.
The new report* states that an increase in the patient population and reforms in government policies will work together to encourage the rise of generic pharmaceutical powers.
Government policies include the need for prior authorization in order to dispense branded drugs that have generic alternatives, while further incentives are available from Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBM) for dispensing generic drugs. These kinds of regulatory changes and financial benefits could act as significant drivers of the market during the forecast period.
While it is estimated that, in 2010, generics accounted for 18.9% of the market share in the global antivirals market, this market share is forecast to grow to reach 29.2% by 2018. This is largely due to a series of patent expiries expected to hit the antiviral market, which will act to raise the value of generic antiviral drugs to over $9 billion by 2018.
Generics in the HIV market in particular accounted for an estimated majority market share of 46% in the total generic antivirals market during 2010. HIV generics are expected to create a boom in the market, due to a loss of patent exclusivity for key antiviral drugs.
The generic market is currently dominated by products such as zidovudine, didanosine, stavudine and lamivudine. However, many major patent expiries are expected during the forecast period, including Sustiva (efavirenz) and Kaletra (lopinavir + ritonavir) in 2013, Prezista (darunavir ethanolate) in 2014, and major Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs) such as Trizivir (abacavir sulphate/lamivudine/zidovudine), Epzicom (lamivudine and abacavir) and Emtriva (emtricitabine) in 2016.
By 2018, billions of dollars' worth of industry revenue will be lost from the expiry of these brand name products, and the race will be on for generics manufacturers to create new superstar drugs to make the most of this unmet need in the market. Generics within the antiviral market are forecast to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% during 2010-2018.
In December 2011, Teva launched generic Combivir in the US market as a combination tablet containing lamivudine and zidovudine, indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Combivir had annual sales of approximately $556m in 2010, based on the annual report.
