Stakeholder Opinion: Erectile Dysfunction – Identifying Product Differentiation and Patient Segmentation Strategies
Introduction
The erectile dysfunction market grew 3.5 percent from 2005 to be worth $1.95
billion in 2005 and is almost entirely composed of sales from three brands: Viagra
(sildenafil), Cialis (tadalafil) and Levitra (vardenafil). Despite the dominance of
these products, several opportunities exist for a successful market entry.
Erectile dysfunction is defined as 'the persistent inability to attain and maintain a penile erection
adequate for sexual performance.' Treatment of the condition was limited until the launch of
Viagra, a PDE-5 inhibitor, in 1998 and the later arrival of Cialis and Levitra in 2004-04. PDE-5
inhibitors are a safe and efficacious treatment for the majority of men. However, a considerable
number do not respond to PDE-5 inhibitor treatment. Manufacturers of new drugs can target

Key findings and highlights
• PDE-5 inhibitors will remain the mainstay of ED treatment, having an excellent efficacy and
safety profile. New PDE-5 inhibitors need a unique clinical advantage to compete with the
established products. Udenafil goes some way to achieve this, offering a rapid onset of
action and a favorable half-life, but is unlikely to surpass market leaders.
• An estimated 30 percent of the ED patient population is refractory to PDE-5 inhibitors and
this represents a considerable target market for manufactures of novel products. In terms of
new mechanisms of action, opinion leaders are unconvinced by what is in the current
pipeline. They are encouraged, however, by the new drug delivery methods in development.
• Developing treatments for niche patient subgroups provides an opportunity to minimize
competition with established therapies. Diabetes-related ED, prostatectomy patients and
cardiovascular disease may be commercially viable groups. This chronic treatment of ED
may require once-daily dosing and hence represents an avenue for companies to explore. Reasons to buy
