The rheumatoid arthritis drugs market is expected to see marginal growth in the next few years. It will grow to $64.86 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.5%. The anticipated expansion during the forecast period is primarily driven by the prevailing trends in personalized medicine, the burgeoning growth of emerging markets, ongoing advancements in pipeline development, a concerted emphasis on combination therapies, and a notable rise in healthcare expenditure. Key trends expected to shape the forecast period encompass the dominant role of biological therapies, the impact of biosimilars, advancements in personalized medicine, the burgeoning growth of oral therapies, and a heightened focus on early diagnosis and intervention.
The anticipated surge in arthritis cases is poised to drive the expansion of the rheumatoid arthritis drugs market in the coming years. Rheumatoid arthritis, characterized by autoimmune and inflammatory responses causing damage to healthy cells and resulting in painful swelling, has effective treatment options in the form of drugs and self-management techniques. These interventions aim to reduce pain, improve joint flexibility, and impede the progression of the disease. Notably, recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) highlights a significant rise in arthritis cases, with 54.4 million adults diagnosed in the United States in 2021, projected to reach 78 million by 2040. Consequently, the increasing prevalence of arthritis is expected to be a key driver for the rheumatoid arthritis drug market.
The expanding elderly population is anticipated to contribute significantly to the growth of the rheumatoid arthritis drugs market. The term "elderly population" denotes individuals aged 65 and above, relative to the working-age population (18 to 64 years old). Managing rheumatoid arthritis in the elderly presents challenges and opportunities, with newer drugs such as JAK inhibitors and targeted synthetic DMARDs offering alternative options with potentially safer profiles for this demographic. As reported by ReliefWeb in July 2022, the global population of individuals aged 65 or older is projected to increase from 10% in 2022 to 16% in 2050, reaching 94 million and comprising 23% of the total population. Hence, the growth of the elderly population is a key factor propelling the rheumatoid arthritis drugs market.
The rheumatoid arthritis drug market is witnessing a notable trend in product innovations, with companies strategically embracing new product launches to maintain and enhance their market positions. One such example is the introduction of Olokizumab by R-Pharm, a Russian high-tech pharmaceutical company, in August 2022. Olokizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the cytokine interleukin-6, a key player in the progression of joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis. This innovative product, similar to TNF (tumor necrosis factor), mitigates inflammatory responses, thereby reducing disease activity in many rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Major players in the rheumatoid arthritis drug market are actively engaged in pioneering solutions, such as subcutaneous injection, to gain a competitive advantage. Subcutaneous injections, also known as sub-q or SQ injections, involve delivering medication just beneath the skin. For instance, Eisai Co Ltd. and Nippon Medac Co Ltd. collaborated to launch the Metoject Subcutaneous Injection Syringe in November 2022. This product represents the first self-administrable prefilled syringe formulation of methotrexate (MTX) for rheumatoid arthritis approved in Japan. The Metoject Subcutaneous Injection Syringe is user-friendly, featuring a thin, 27-gauge needle for a more comfortable injection experience, a clear injection window, and a straightforward plunger mechanism to facilitate easy self-administration.
In October 2023, Amgen Plc, a prominent US-based biotechnology company, completed the acquisition of Horizon Therapeutic Plc for $27.8 billion. This strategic move enhances Amgen's inflammation portfolio by incorporating first-in-class, early-in-lifecycle medicines designed to treat rare inflammatory diseases. Horizon Therapeutic Plc, an Ireland-based biopharmaceutical company, specializes in providing treatments for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, kidney transplant rejection, and rheumatoid arthritis drugs. This acquisition positions Amgen to strengthen its position in the market through a diversified and expanded product offering.
