Rheumatology Therapeutics Market: Advancements in Disease-Modifying Treatments

Published: Aug 2023

The global rheumatology therapeutics market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period (2023-2030). The growth of the rheumatology therapeutics market is primarily driven by the increased utilization of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic medicines (DMARDs) for targeted disease treatment. Recent steps in rheumatology have led to a diverse range of drug options available to rheumatologists, particularly for managing rheumatic joint disorders. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that around 18 million individuals were living with rheumatoid arthritis globally in 2019. This condition predominantly affects women (70%) and those aged over 55 (55%).

One such condition, Polymyalgia rheumatica, can severely impair daily activities due to its flares of painful symptoms across multiple body areas An approval by the FDA for a steroid-free treatment for polymyalgia rheumatica marks a significant step in treatment. For instance, in March 2023, for sarilumab (Kevzara), an interleukin (IL) 6 receptor antagonist, gained FDA approval for individuals with polymyalgia rheumatica who have either failed glucocorticoid treatment or cannot tolerate its tapering.

Often, patients with psoriatic arthritis are not able not suspect a connection between their psoriasis skin symptoms and the joint pain, swelling and stiffness, resulting in delayed diagnosis and treatment. For instance, in January 2022, AbbVie released FDA-approved SKYRIZI® (risankizumab-rzaa) for the treatment of adults with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA), a systemic inflammatory disease that affects the skin and joints and impacts approximately 30% of patients with psoriasis. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the axial spine. Chronic back pain and progressive spinal stiffness are the most common features of this disease. For instance, in November 2021, Pfizer Inc. announced that the European Commission has approved XELJANZ® (tofacitinib) 5 mg twice daily for the treatment of adults with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who have responded inadequately to conventional therapy.
