According to GlobalData’s Technology Foresights, which uses over 730,000 patents to analyze innovation intensity for the pharmaceutical industry, there are 80+ innovation areas that will shape the future of the industry.
Anti-HIV compositions is a key innovation area in genomics
Antiretroviral therapy is used for the treatment of HIV. Anti-HIV therapies include of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), protease inhibitors, fusion inhibitors, C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) antagonists, integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTI), and post attachment inhibitor drugs. These drugs help to decrease the viral load and prevent the transmission of the infection.
GlobalData’s analysis also uncovers the companies at the forefront of each innovation area and assesses the potential reach and impact of their patenting activity across different applications and geographies. According to GlobalData, there are 470+ companies, spanning technology vendors, established pharmaceutical companies, and up-and-coming start-ups engaged in the development and application of anti-HIV compositions.
Key players in anti-HIV compositions – a disruptive innovation in the pharmaceutical industry
‘Application diversity’ measures the number of applications identified for each patent. It broadly splits companies into either ‘niche’ or ‘diversified’ innovators.
‘Geographic reach’ refers to the number of countries each patent is registered in. It reflects the breadth of geographic application intended, ranging from ‘global’ to ‘local’.
