Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) Market Forecast, Trend Analysis, & Competition Tracking - Global Review 2020 to 2030

Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic, inflammatory, immune-mediated condition which consists of 2 subsets that have been defined nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) and as ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Around the world people are suffering from Spondyloarthritis. According to the National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society, around 3 million people, close to 6% of the adult population, of the U.K. was suffering from chronic low back pain longer than 3 months in 2012. 

In June 2020, Novartis announced that the US FDA has approved Cosentyx for the treatment of non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. In addition, UCB’s Cimzia which was approved by FDA in 2013 for the treatment of ankylosing spondyloarthritis received FDA approval in 2019 for treatment for non-radiographic axial spondyloarthriti. Moreover, Eli Lilly’s Taltz, also received an approval by the FDA in June 2020, to receive FDA approval for the treatment of non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. These recent developments in the biologics is expected to lead to significant growth in the Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) Market during the forecast period.

Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) Market: Drivers and Restraints

The increasing prevalence of Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is expected to drive the growth of the market. Increase in the nunber of approved Biosimilars will also boost the growth of the Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) market during the forecast period. The focus of various biotechnological companies in R&D activities is also expected to propel the growth of the axial spondy loarthritis (axSpA) market.

However, the high cost of biologics used to treat Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) will restrain the growth of the Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) Market. The high cost associated with biologics is because of the lengthy testing and manufacturing processes required for manufacturing the biologics along with high investment for R&D activity.
