Entecavir, an oral deoxyguanosine drug, was developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb and was approved to enter the market by the FDA in March 2005. Entecavir made by Sino-American Shanghai Squibb Pharmaceuticals Ltd got CFDA’s approval at the end of 2005 and entered the Chinese market in early 2006, followed by many generic drugs that promote market growth greatly.
According to the market research, the annual sales value of entecavir in China rose from CNY1126 million in 2013 to CNY 1996 million in 2017 and decreased to CNY1264 in 2019. Entecavir made by Sino-American Shanghai Squibb Pharmaceuticals Ltd dominates the Chinese market with a share of over 40% in 2019 by sales value.
Compared with the original nucleoside analogue, entecavir has stronger antiviral effects, faster onset, fewer side effects, and lower resistance rate, thus inhibiting HBV strongly and having a high barrier to drug resistance. Entecavir makes it possible for patients to start with monotherapy which could be successful over the long term. As is known to all, new drugs entering the anti-HBV drug market is bound to pose a threat to old ones, forming a new competitive landscape.
According to the report, due to the lack of new antiviral drugs for Hepatitis B, the market demand is far from being satisfied. Therefore, entecavir is estimated to enjoy good market prospects and its sales volume will keep growing in the next few years. However, due to the decline in average prices, sales of entecavir in the Chinese market may continue to decline.
