Hidradenitis Suppurativa Global Market Report 2024

The hidradenitis suppurativa market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.06 billion in 2023 to $1.15 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to heightened awareness leading to increased diagnosis, limited treatment options, advancements in dermatology, a rise in the prevalence of the disease, and initiatives from patient advocacy groups.

The hidradenitis suppurativa market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.5 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth anticipated in the forecast period can be attributed to the development of biologic therapies, precision medicine approaches, the expansion of clinical trials, global initiatives, funding in healthcare, and support from healthcare policies. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the advancement of immunomodulatory therapies, the integration of telemedicine and remote monitoring, a shift towards patient-centric care, the adoption of minimally invasive surgical interventions, and the implementation of personalized lifestyle recommendations.

The escalating prevalence of skin diseases is steering the expansion of the hidradenitis suppurativa market moving forward. Skin diseases encompass a broad spectrum of skin-related issues, spanning bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, allergic reactions, skin malignancies, and parasitic conditions. Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), characterized by chronic and severe skin disorder, is driving the emergence of new products and services for its management. Factors such as heightened awareness, improved diagnostic accuracy, a growing patient pool, and advancements in research contribute to this trend. For example, as reported by the American Cancer Society Inc. in January 2022, skin cancer cases surged to an estimated 106,110 in 2021, marking a 5.8% increase from 2020's 100,350 cases. Consequently, the upsurge in skin disease prevalence propels the growth trajectory of the hidradenitis suppurativa market.

The upswing in healthcare expenditure serves as a catalyst for the expansion of the hidradenitis suppurativa market in the future. Healthcare expenditure encompasses all costs associated with providing health services, including aspects such as family planning, nutrition, and emergency assistance with a primary focus on health. Increased healthcare spending facilitates the establishment of comprehensive patient support programs, fostering improved management of hidradenitis suppurativa and positively impacting the quality of care and research in this domain. For instance, according to the 2021–2030 National Health Expenditure (NHE) report by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in March 2022, national health spending is anticipated to rise by an average of 5.1% annually between 2021 and 2030, projected to reach around $6.8 trillion by 2030. Consequently, the escalation in healthcare expenditure fuels the growth trajectory of the hidradenitis suppurativa market.

The increasing adoption of biologics stands as a prominent trend within the hidradenitis suppurativa market. Leading companies in this sector are heavily investing in research and development endeavors, resulting in the approval of biologic therapies specifically designed for managing hidradenitis suppurativa, thereby solidifying their market position. For example, in June 2023, Novartis AG, a Switzerland-based pharmaceutical company, received approval from the European regulatory authority for Cosentyx, a groundbreaking biologic therapy targeting hidradenitis suppurativa. Cosentyx represents a fully human biologic that effectively inhibits interleukin-17A, a pivotal cytokine associated with the disease. Having undergone clinical research for over 14 years, Cosentyx has established itself as a well-researched medication catering to hidradenitis suppurativa.

Strategic partnerships emerge as a significant trend gaining traction within the hidradenitis suppurativa market. Key industry players are proactively forging strategic alliances to fortify their market positions. For instance, in June 2023, Novartis, a Switzerland-based pharmaceutical company, entered into a partnership with the Emirates Dermatology Society (EDS), based in the UAE, aimed at advancing Hidradenitis Suppurativa awareness within the UAE region. The collaboration's objectives extend to providing crucial insights that aid healthcare providers and policymakers in supporting individuals grappling with this debilitating disease. Novartis and EDS are slated to establish scientific and educational platforms targeting dermatologists and patients within the UAE, fostering awareness and understanding. Furthermore, both organizations are committed to leveraging Real World Evidence (RWE) to capture and generate localized data on hidradenitis suppurativa.

In October 2022, Amgen Inc., a leading biopharmaceutical company based in the United States, successfully acquired ChemoCentryx Inc. for a substantial amount of $3.7 billion. This strategic acquisition allows Amgen to strengthen its market position by incorporating ChemoCentryx's product, TAVNEOS, into its diverse portfolio. TAVNEOS, an FDA-approved complement 5a receptor inhibitor with gastrointestinal restriction, holds significant potential as a complementary therapy for individuals affected by hidradenitis suppurativa. ChemoCentryx Inc. specializes in the development of pharmaceuticals targeting autoimmune and oncology diseases, including conditions such as hidradenitis suppurativa.
