Drugs are expensive, do not work on large patient pool, are hard to get approved and difficult to research. Thus, the pharmaceutical companies are under constant pressure to produce drugs that have the highest probability of turning into profit and benefiting majority of the patients. Additionally, computer aided drug designing and high throughput sequencing methods generate massive amounts of data. Technologies like big data, blockchain, and cloud computing and mobile technology are making a major impact by helping solve these problems. Big data is helping create more effective trials while the blockchain technology, stores data effectively. All these technologies collectively allow companies and research units to share vital data in real time and develop incredible breakthroughs. Internet of things (IoT) and sophisticated sensors are further enabling blood pressure measurement, glucose monitoring while even tracking food ingestion via mobile which is utterly transformative.
Furthermore, connectivity is enabling customer solutions both inside and outside the home. Developments like home health, telehealth and web applications are shifting the paradigm of personalized care outside a doctor's office. Patients are becoming keen to predict their health status and manage overall health through genetic testing products for in home use. All these technologies together are fueling the precision medicines to a next level.
Precision medicine opens various opportunities in genetic screening market. The direct to consumer genetic testing is currently trending in precision medicine market as consumers are themselves opting for genetic information. However, data-privacy laws are also becoming stringent. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) strictly regulate the collection, retention and sharing of patient data. Medical laboratories working to derive value from such data should ensure their processes are well within the laws. Nearly 40 countries have their own versions of precision medicine initiatives. Geographically, North America dominated the precision medicine market in 2017, due to favorable government payment and coverage policies. Segment wise, Cardiology held the largest market share in 2017 with 25.70%.

The way we understand and treat disease is changing rapidly. The list of conditions for which there is no adequate treatment is increasing and, even when treatments are available, many patients either do not respond or experience undesirable side effects. Genetic discoveries have led to the understanding that many of these problems are explained by the variability in individual’s biological makeup. Consequently, the one-size-fits-all approach is no longer viable and we should shift towards healthcare that is tailored to the needs and characteristics of the individual. Precision medicines are about bringing the right treatment to the right patient at the right time. It is one of the key vehicles by which the healthcare system of tomorrow can achieve better outcomes for patients and financial efficiency.
Patient empowerment is a prime factor for the adoption of precision medicines; it has resulted in consumer focused healthcare, enabled by ease of access to health information that was previously available only to medical professionals. Physicians and healthcare providers are no longer viewed as primary sources for medical information as patients are seeking advice from online resources for medical conditions or diagnosis. The online resources create educated patients that can now form their own opinion on how to handle their health. Online websites allow patients to feel as if they are in control of their health and that advice is targeted to their needs. Thus, with the rise in medical advice available online and consumers awareness on health management, individuals are expecting customized service from physicians.
Precision medicine fosters patients to play an active role in the decision making responsibility for managing their health and therefore enables a consumer focused market. It helps patients feel greater ownership in the responsibility for their health. In today's trending consumerism, patients are also concerned more about cost and quality. By providing financial incentives and information to patients, they can make more value driven healthcare decisions. Thus, as the patients contribute more towards the healthcare coverage costs an upsurge in demand for high quality of services is seen.
The precision medicine market has been segmented based on application into oncology, CNS, cardiology, infectious disease and others. Cardiology had the maximum market share of 25.7% in 2017, however the oncology segment is expected to grow at a highest pace during the forecast period. Growth of this segment is largely due to the growing burden of cancer patients along with various genetic factors involved in disease prevalence.
Various market players are investing heavily to develop targeted products. Ongoing developments in pharmaceutical industries are promising to make cancer treatable in several cases. The competitive rivalry between the market players is high as the manufacturers are charging premium prices. Also, the cost associated to develop these medicines is usually on the higher end as compared to the generalized pharmaceutical drug. Although, the motto of the precision medicines is to save cost as the treatment becomes personalized and waste is avoided, significant capital investments are required to develop the infrastructure that many countries cannot afford. Precision medicines also require routine medical follow up as genetic tests are frequently used in clinical conditions to confirm diagnostics. In case of direct to consumer genetic testing vendors seek advice from physician to interpret the results. Thus this adds to the cost and burdens the healthcare services.
The pharmaceutical industry's 20 top-selling cancer precision medicines in 2017, generated annual sales of over $50 billion worldwide. Celgene's Revlimid for multiple myeloma, Roche's Rituxan for non-hodgkins lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Avastin for breast, colorectal, lung, kidney and ovarian cancers, Herceptin for HER2+ breast cancer, lead the pack with $26 billion in sales for these four drugs alone. With a looming patent cliff, many blockbuster drugs are on the verge of losing exclusivity in the upcoming years. Revlimid’s, European patent is about to expire in 2022; however, the U.S patent for the drug extends through 2026, the company struck a deal with Natco Pharma will allows a generic version of Revlimid to be sold in the U.S market in limited volumes beginning in March 2022.
North America has portrayed a strong market growth for precision medicines over recent years. Its market size was estimated at USD 23.27 billion in 2017. Several government initiatives in support to precision medicines were established in this region. In 2015, the U.S President Barack Obama announced precision medicine initiative with an objective to gain momentum of precision medicines. Under the initiative he allocated, USD 130 million to National Institute of Health and USD 70 million to National Cancer Institute.
In Germany, precision medicine commonly known as individualized medicine initiatives were undertaken. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) announced the action plan called “individualized medicine - a new way in research and healthcare.” The BMBF invested 40 million euros for employment of precision therapies into clinical trials. The BMBF also participated in the European precision medicine project called the “personalized medicine 2020 and beyond” along with 27 partners from 14 countries. “The German national cohort” launched in 2013, is the largest nationwide project with duration of 25 to 30 years with 220 million euros budget for the first 10 years.
China is also emerging as a key player in the precision medicine industry. It is a world leader, with majority of the pharmaceutical and trademark patents. iCarbonX, a Chinese company is collecting varied data on behavioral patterns of millions of patients, environment and genetics using data mining and artificial intelligence to develop precise treatments based on digital and holistic view of individual patient. In India, companies are offering various technology solutions in order to provide diagnosis and treatment to various diseases such as coronary, diabetes and obesity. The Xcode Lifesciences is providing InDNA technology to provide solutions to these disease. NutraGen made available the first genetic test for type 2 diabetes using targeted mutation screening (genotyping). The test screens DNA variations that carries risk factors for type 2 diabetes. Avesthagen, is another Indian player focusing on pharmacogenomics. The company’s AVESTAGENOME project is studying the Parsi population, to determine the genetic basis of longevity and age-related disorders. The study aim’s at establishing pharmacogenomics-based therapies and develop biomarkers for predictive diagnostics to preserve the genome of the community.
