Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic inflammatory arthritis that occurs in conjunction with psoriasis. It is estimated that around 30% of people with psoriasis may develop psoriatic arthritis. The disease causes pain, stiffness and swelling in and around the joints. Over time, psoriatic arthritis can cause permanent damage to the joints. Conventional treatments including disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) such as methotrexate and TNF inhibitors are used to manage the symptoms. Global psoriatic arthritis treatment market growth is driven by rising development and approval of novel targeted biologic therapies with better safety and efficacy profiles.
Market Dynamics:
Global psoriatic arthritis treatment market growth is driven by growing prevalence of psoriatic arthritis worldwide. According to estimates, the global prevalence of the disease ranges between 0.06% to 1%. Moreover, increasing awareness about the disease and availability of advanced treatments can also drive the market growth. However, high cost of biologic therapies can hamper the market growth, especially in price-sensitive developing regions. Continued efforts by market players to develop cost-effective generic versions of biologics can reduce costs over time. Furthermore, rising healthcare expenditures in emerging nations can offer new opportunities for the market players in the near future.
