Global autoimmune and inflammatory immunomodulators market is dominated by biologics, with over 90% share compared with small molecules. This is primarily due to the growing popularity of monoclonal antibodies (mABs) as these biologicals have a high affinity toward specific disease cells and areas that need to be treated. Although, few biologicals are already off-patent in selected regions, or patent will expire over the forecast period, we believe that the market will continue deriving support from the advent of biosimilar and the expected approvals and launches from the strong pipeline. Considering the sensitive and complex nature of biologicals, they are mostly administered in the injectable forms. To a large pool of individuals, this remains a big hurdle in treatment acceptance. To overcome this limitation, the established vendors such as Pfizer, Abbvie, and Eli Lilly are trying to launch an oral form of these biologicals in the market. Once launched, this trend will fuel the market growth exponentially and will become one of the major growth drivers over the years to come.

Extensive media coverage of virus propagation and high-profile data breaches have increased awareness of viruses and their impact on business. This emphasized the importance of precautionary measures to counter attacks in the consumer and enterprise arena, leading to increased adoption of antivirus software packages.The popularity of mobile devices also suggests that the desktop era might be coming to an end. Furthermore, changes in work locations, time zone barriers, and the need to access official and confidential data via employees' personal devices is resulting in an increased demand for antivirus software packages. The increased use of mobile devices has led to an increase in the storage of data and access to critical information. This has increased the need for security, resulting in the demand for antivirus software package. Antivirus software packages will gain maximum traction in APAC during the forecast period as enterprises in this region are highly dependent on the Internet and wireless technologies, which increases the risk of data theft and cyber attacks.

The global antibacterial glass market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 6.75% during 2016-2020. This growth is attributed to the increase in the application of antibacterial glass in various end-user industries, such as hospital, food and beverage, military equipment, household, construction, and electronics.The global antibacterial glass market using silver as a material type had the largest market share in 2015, accounting for 90.76% of the overall market, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.87% during the forecast period. It is the fastest growing antibacterial glass market by material type. The dominance of silver type antibacterial glass is mainly due to its exceptional antibacterial properties, which have applications in various end-user segments. Among the various end-users of antibacterial glass, hospitals accounted for 42.33% of the global market share in 2015. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.04%, which is the fastest among all the end-user segments. The essentiality of sterile and hygienic conditions in the hospital premises has resulted in the high market share of this segment.  In the global antibacterial glass market by geography, Europe had the leading market share of 48.41% in 2015. This region will also have the highest CAGR of 7.09% during the forecast period. The main reason for Europe's dominance is the high awareness of European consumers regarding health and the presence of many key vendors of antibacterial glass in Europe.

The global anti-aging products market is posting a steady growth with a CAGR of 5.46% by revenue during the forecast period. Strict regulations by regulatory bodies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) to manufacture products that are not harmful to consumers are expected to reduce the skepticism that consumers hold toward anti-aging products. The market has witnessed a transformation from the use of synthetic materials in products to organic materials like argan, marula, almond, and coconut. Ingredients like botanical herbs and vitamin E are rising in popularity. Technological advancements in product features and an increased use of organic and renewable raw materials are widely used by key competitors to manufacture effective antiaging products with improved features. For instance, Beiersdorf's Q10 — an ingredient in its anti-aging products — has been considered as one of the best ingredients that accumulates moisture, destroys free radicals, and fills in small wrinkles. In 2015, the number of individuals aged 65 years and above in the Americas, APAC, Europe, and MEA, totaled 493.2 million. The aging population is expected to grow during the forecast period, aiding the growth of the market. By 2020, older people are anticipated to account for more than 20% of the population in Europe and in North America, 15% in Oceania, 12% in Asia and Central America, and 4% in Africa.

Currently, the global alopecia market has very limited approved therapies with two being global and one being approved only for Japan, South Korea, and Australia. Consequently, the market relies heavily on off-label and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, which form large volume sales but add less to the market value. In spite of the unknown pathophysiology of this condition, the current pipeline looks promising, especially due to novel Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, SM04554. As this commands higher efficacy and safety as per the clinical trials, once launched, will be one of the primary growth drivers. Regenerative medicines will be the next wave of growth in global alopecia drugs market. The advent of cell therapy and tissue engineering will be able to overcome the barrier of complete hair restoration, which remains a challenge otherwise,through therapeutic usage. The competition, going forward, will become intense for prominent vendors in current alopecia therapeutic market such as Merck and Johnson & Johnson and could result into sales erosion of their drugs as well once regenerative vendors such as RepliCel gets the approval for its Phase II molecule.
