Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition where the bladder squeezes to pass urine too often, even when it's not full, leading to a frequent and urgent need to urinate. This can significantly impact daily life, potentially causing social isolation and affecting sleep. Overactive bladder (OAB) can be managed through a combination of lifestyle changes, behavioral therapies, medications, and, in some cases, surgical interventions. Bladder training, pelvic floor exercises, and dietary adjustments are common initial approaches. Medications like anticholinergics or beta-3 agonists may be prescribed to relax the bladder muscle and reduce urgency. In more severe cases, procedures like nerve stimulation or Botox injections into the bladder may be considered.
Increased Awareness Around Overactive Bladder to Boost Treatment Market Value
Greater awareness of overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms and evolving diagnostic guidelines have led to a significant increase in diagnoses which almost tripled between 2013 and 2017 in the U.S. after the AUA's guideline updates. Self-care and lifestyle interventions, pelvic floor exercises, bladder training, and dietary adjustment are the common recommendations, with newer non-invasive diagnostic altering management options. Furthermore, the market has seen the development of new diagnostic and management tools, allowing for more tailored and non-invasive treatment options. These advancements have made it easier to manage OAB effectively without always resorting to more invasive interventions, leading to greater patient satisfaction and improved outcomes. As these alternatives become more accessible, they may further drive the treatment market's growth by offering patients a wider range of options to control symptoms and improve their quality of life.
The major market trends include rising awareness, pharmacological advances, neuromodulation, and digital health tools.
Development of New Drugs and Therapies to Meet Rising Overactive Bladder Treatment Market Demand
Studies reveal that novel beta-3‑adrenergic agonists like mirabegron and vibegron are expanding the OAB treatment landscape by being a substantive and safer alternative to anticholinergics. In a meta-analysis, mirabegron’s symptom control was revealed to be robust without dry mouth and cognitive side effects leading to anticholinergic discontinuation. Clinical guidelines state that mirabegron is more easily tolerated especially by older adults, and vibegron’s 2020 FDA approval was supported by phase 3 EMPOWUR and COURAGE trials which together reinforced its safety and efficacy profile. Patient testimonials vindicate the lesser side adverse effects.
Investments in Healthcare Infrastructure and Reimbursement Policies to Boost Overactive Bladder Treatment Market Value
Improved healthcare infrastructure and supportive reimbursement policies are strongly supporting the market. North America’s advanced facilities together with favorable reimbursement rules, steer market growth ahead. Research reports highlight that OAB therapies, including neuromodulation devices and novel drugs are considerably more accessible now, because of coverage changes. Patients pursued treatment at a 75% rate when insurance covered neuromodulation in comparison to 35% when it did not. Across the world, greater healthcare spending and expanded insurance schemes in Asia-Pacific and Europe have widened healthcare access.
Beta-3 Adrenergic Receptor Antagonist Leads the Drug Type Segment
The mirabegron segment especially drugs like Myrbetriq, are the leading drug type in the treatment market. This is chiefly because of its safety and efficacy in relieving OAB symptoms with less side effects compared to conventional anticholinergic medications. Other treatment options include Botox injections for patients for whom oral medications do not work and neuromodulation techniques, for instance sacral nerve stimulation.
The healthcare infrastructure is advanced and the United States and it has the best doctors in the world. Also, all the major players in the market develop and sell their products in the U.S. The government incentivizes innovation with strong IPR protections and provides a structured environment for biomedical research and development. The U.S. has a high incidence of overactive bladder, with a significant portion of the population experiencing symptoms like urgency, frequency, and nocturia.
The key features of the market report comprise patent analysis, grants analysis, funding and investment analysis, and strategic initiatives by the leading players. The major companies in the market are as follows:
AbbVie is involved in overactive bladder (OAB) treatment through its product BOTOX (onabotulinumtoxinA) and through its acquisition of Allergan, which also markets BOTOX for OAB. BOTOX is used to treat OAB symptoms like a strong urge to urinate with leakage, frequent urination, and an urgent need to urinate, especially when other medications are not effective or tolerated.
Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd. is involved in the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) through its drug GEMTESA (vibegron). GEMTESA is a beta-3 adrenergic agonist approved for treating OAB with symptoms like urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency in adults. It's also specifically approved for men with OAB who are also taking medication for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Astellas Pharma offers two main medications for treating overactive bladder (OAB): VESIcare (solifenacin succinate) and MYRBETRIQ (mirabegron). VESIcare is an anticholinergic medication that relaxes the bladder muscles, while MYRBETRIQ is a beta-3 adrenergic agonist that also helps relax the bladder. Astellas also has a drug called GEMTESA (vibegron) which is used to treat OAB in adults, and in adult males taking medicine for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Zydus Lifesciences is actively involved in the treatment of Overactive Bladder (OAB) through the development and launch of generic medications. Specifically, they have released Mirabegron extended-release tablets in the US market, which are used to treat OAB symptoms like urinary incontinence, urgency, and frequency. They were among the first to launch the generic version of Mirabegron 25 mg and are preparing to launch the 50 mg version.
