New Report - Acetylsalicylic Acid Market Growth And Forecast To 2015

Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is also referred to as aspirin. It is a medicine and helps in managing fevers, minor to medium aches, and inflammation. ASA is used for long-term treatments, in smaller amounts, to avoid blood clots, strokes, & cardiac arrests. Low aspirin amounts can be administered to people immediately following their cardiac arrests. This lowers ‘heart tissue’   deaths and prevents another heart attack. 

Wide prevalence of fever, pain, inflammation, cardiac arrests, blood clots, strokes, etc favor the global and Chinese acetylsalicylic acid market. Millions around the globe suffer from these health issues. Thus, burgeoning worldwide populace promotes aspirin use and augurs well for the market. ASA is effective for preventing various cancers. Its adoption in ‘colorectal cancer’ prevention also drives the market. 

Common side-effects from ‘aspirin consumption’ comprise stomach bleeding, gastric ulcers, and ear-ringing. However, these generally occur in case of greater doses. While daily ASA should prevent clot-strokes, it could also augment the chances of hemorrhagic strokes. In teenagers & young kids, the medicine is not advised for viral or flu indications. Aspirin also helps in combating common cold and ‘arthritis’ swelling.  


The aforementioned ASA advantages bode well for the market and assist the latter in making profits. On the other hand, side-effects of the medicine may hinder market progress in the near future. Salicylic acid is a key constituent of aspirin. Apart from the diseases mentioned, ASA aids in treating pericarditis, rheumatic fever, and Kawasaki disease. 

Bristol Myers Company, Sterling Drug Company, and American Home Products Corporation were three diversified & huge companies of the market in the past. Robust escalation in their earnings affected their end products. All ASA is acetylsalicylic acid, a composite first made in 1853, to mimic ‘willow bark’ healing properties. 

The same propelled majority of the companies in the global and Chinese acetylsalicylic acid market to go without patent protections (in benefitting from the anticipated sales hike). Several aspirin products mixed with other substances are unsuitable for preventing cardiac arrests. This is another significant factor, restraining market flow. Presence of substitutes (having lesser side-effects) could also decrease market incomes.   


The medicine is available in the forms of capsules, tablets, syrups, ointment, gels, creams, injections, or liquids.
