Aesthetics Market Resilience: AbbVie Asserts Widely Used Botox Dominance Amidst Rising Competition
Portfolio Pulse from Vandana Singh
AbbVie Inc (NYSE:ABBV) maintains a strong position in the aesthetics market with a 68% share of Botox sales, despite competition and calls for stronger FDA warnings on botulinum toxin products. At the J.P. Morgan healthcare conference, CCO Jeffrey Stewart expressed confidence in Botox's market resilience. AbbVie's acquisition of Allergan in 2020 bolstered its market dominance, especially as its drug Humira lost exclusivity. The company also sees potential in its newer drugs, Skyrizi and Rinvoq. Revance Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:RVNC) and Evolus Inc (NASDAQ:EOLS) are emerging competitors with products like Daxxify and Jeuveau.
