Identifying Drugs to Watch

We combine extensive data sets and expertise to identify potential blockbusters and therapeutic game-changers.

Drugs to Watch from Clarivate™ showcases drugs recently launched or likely to enter the market this year that are forecast to become blockbusters within five years and/or to transform treatment paradigms (blockbuster being defined by the common $1bn annual sales milestone).

Over 160 Clarivate analysts manually evaluated each drug in its individual context, based on factors such as expected approval or launch dates, competitive landscape, regulatory status, trial results, market dynamics and other factors. They then added novel drugs that, while likely to fall short of blockbuster status, are poised to be therapeutic game-changers.

Drug selection criteria

Candidate drugs in phase 2 or phase 3 trials, at pre-registration or registration stage or already launched early in 2024 were selected for analysis, including drugs launched for a new indication that could be particularly impactful on the industry. Drugs launched prior to 2024 were excluded.
The dataset was then filtered for drugs that had total forecast sales of $1bn or more in 2030.

Expert analysts then added recently launched and soon-to-launch therapeutics set to significantly transform treatment paradigms, even if they are not forecast to be blockbusters within five years.

From there, we determined 11 Drugs to Watch in 2025.
