Multiple Sclerosis Drugs Global Market Report 2024

The multiple sclerosis drugs market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $29.66 billion in 2023 to $31.5 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. Historical growth in the field of multiple sclerosis treatment can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing prevalence of multiple sclerosis, a significant unmet medical need for effective treatments, heightened investments from pharmaceutical companies dedicated to research and development, and a growing awareness and understanding of multiple sclerosis within the medical community and among the general population.

The multiple sclerosis drugs market size is expected to see strongly grown in the next few years. It will grow to $47.97 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1%. The projected expansion is fueled by enhanced access to clinical trials, targeted therapies, a rising emphasis on preventive healthcare, increased demand for biosimilars, wider global market penetration, and the integration of combination therapies. Key trends expected during this period encompass the development of immunomodulatory drugs, extended-release formulations, patient-centered care approaches, continual drug innovation, and the advancement of oral and infusion treatments.

Government and non-government organizations contribute significantly to the growth of the multiple sclerosis drugs market. They support various programs and initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life for those affected by multiple sclerosis (MS). An example is the joint investment of $1 million by the government of Alberta and Canada's Department of Economic Development, Trade, and Tourism for the Canadian Prospective Cohort Study on MS (CanProCo). This initiative, supported by multiple organizations, gathered $10 million for research and innovations, uniting nearly 50 MS researchers across disciplines in Canada. Financial backing from these entities drives the expansion of the multiple sclerosis drugs market.

The escalating prevalence of multiple sclerosis stands as a pivotal factor propelling the growth of the multiple sclerosis drug market. MS, an autoimmune disease impacting the central nervous system, requires pharmaceutical intervention for symptom management and disease progression. An article from Pace Hospitals in May 2023 highlighted a global MS patient count of 2.8 million, at a rate of 35.9 per 100,000 individuals, with an annual incidence of 2.1 cases per 100,000 people across 75 reporting countries. The disease typically affects individuals around the age of 32 and shows a higher prevalence among females. This increasing prevalence is set to drive the expansion of the multiple sclerosis drug market. Companies are intensifying efforts to introduce new products within the multiple sclerosis drug market to cater to the surging demand. Given the lifelong treatment nature of MS, the overall cost of patient care is substantial. To address this, companies are focusing on developing specific drugs tailored for managing multiple sclerosis. Notably, the FDA approved Novartis’ Mayzent (siponimod) and EMD Serono’s Mavenclad (cladribine) for treating relapsing-remitting and active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. These oral drugs aim to provide more effective treatment options.

Major companies in the multiple sclerosis drug market are prioritizing innovation to gain a competitive advantage. They are introducing novel products such as the Aidaptus auto-injector platform to enhance drug delivery. For instance, Owen Mumford, a UK-based medical device manufacturer, launched the Aidaptus auto-injector platform in September 2021. This platform simplifies operations and accommodates diverse drug formulations, including those for multiple sclerosis, using a dual-purpose auto-injector with a versatile design capable of administering various prefilled glass syringes.

In 2019, Bristol-Myers Squibb, a US-based pharmaceutical firm, made a $74 billion acquisition of Celgene. This strategic move is geared toward broadening Bristol-Myers Squibb's product range by leveraging Celgene's current product lineup and tapping into its technical expertise and pipeline support. Among Celgene's pipeline drugs is Ozanimod, currently undergoing phase III clinical trials seeking FDA approval for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis. Celgene, also headquartered in the US, specializes in the development and marketing of medications for conditions like cancer and inflammatory diseases, including multiple sclerosis.
