Demand for Pruritus Therapeutics and Impact of COVID-19……..
Global pruritus
therapeutics market is expected
to reach USD 16.38 Billion by 2025,
according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing worldwide
prevalence of atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis and urticaria is
expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. Introduction of new
products based on scientific mechanistic understanding such as the
identification of new T-cell subsets, particularly Th17, and Th22 and the
patent expiration of PROTOPIC (tacrolimus) is expected to open up new avenues
for manufacturers to capitalize on over the forecast period.
Multiple therapeutic regimens are being
followed across the globe in attempts to come up with a reliable treatment for
Covid-19. One line of treatment includes the use of hydroxychloroquine, while a
second treatment line focuses to use antiviral drugs used in the disease
management of HIV. Both these approaches have surged demand from advanced
antivirals and antimalarial drugs. This impacts the drug manufacturers as an
off label indication for these drug classes has to be worked upon. At the
moment, the WHO has not prescribed any of these approaches, neither they have
commented if one is better than the other. The report will account for Covid19
as a key market contributor.
Corticosteroids were the leading
product segment in 2013 owing to high efficacy exhibited by this class of drugs
in treating pruritic conditions by reducing inflammation and itching. Topical
applications of corticosteroids have been found to be extremely effective in
the treatment and maintenance therapies pertaining to pruritus.
Growing
prevalence of conditions associated with pruritus such as atopic dermatitis,
urticaria, and psoriasis is expected to serve the market as a high impact
rendering drivers. Moreover, the presence of high unmet medical needs and the
subsequent introduction of new products such as REMITECH capsules and Bilastine
catering to these needs are expected to serve as future growth
opportunities.

Further key findings from the study suggest:
·
Calcineurin inhibitor is
identified as the most lucrative segment of the market on account of high usage
rate of these drugs in combination therapy for the treatment of pruritus in
patients suffering from chronic pruritus and growing market penetration rates.
Moreover, the introduction of new products such as Pimecrolimus cream and
Tacrolimus ointment is expected to further drive this market.
·
Anti-histamines owing to its
growing use as a first line treatment and presence of drugs in pipeline with
expected commercialization is also expected to grow at a healthy rate during
the forecast period.
·
North America led the overall
market in terms of revenue in 2013 majorly on account of the presence of high
prevalence of diseases associated with pruritus, introduction of new products
targeting the unmet medical needs and growing patient awareness levels.
·
The Asia Pacific pruritus
therapeutics market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 5.0% during the
forecast period. Presence of high unmet healthcare needs and increasing
prevalence of allergic contact dermatitis and urticaria in this region are some
factors attributing to its rapid growth rate.
·
Some key participants of the
pruritus therapeutics market include Sanofi, Pfizer, Tai Guk Pharmaceutical
Company, Actavis, Trevi Therapeutics, Cara Therapeutics, Ocera Therapeutics
Inc. and NeRRe Therapeutics.
·
Manufacturers adhere to
rigorous R&D in an attempt to develop cost effective products and avoid
barriers such as product recalls. In addition, this strategy is implemented
keeping the unmet needs in consideration. For Instance, Creabilis has a
molecule in the pipeline – CT327, which caters to the unmet needs associated
with pruritus in patients suffering from psoriasis.
Unmet needs available in the
pruritus therapeutics market are analyzed by considering three attributes
namely treatment rate, drug efficiency, and the currently existing gaps in
therapeutic options. Treatment rate associated with pruritus is largely
dependent upon the prevalence of diseases. Low prices and high willingness of
patients are expected to further improve the treatment rates over the next six
years. High opportunity segments such as the pruritus for psoriasis market are
likely to encourage manufacturers to make modifications/additions to their
existing product portfolio. Therefore, capitalization opportunity analyzed only
on the basis of treatment rates is expected to remain at a moderate level over
the next six years. The study analyzes all other attributes on similar grounds.
Corticosteroids,
antihistamines, local anesthetics, counterirritants, immunosuppressant,
calcineurin inhibitors and others are the key product segments analyzed in the
scope of the study. Corticosteroids dominated the pruritus therapeutics market
in 2013 with a revenue share of 23.7%. Corticosteroids are mostly used as the
first line of treatment is also expected to contribute towards the aforementioned
conclusion. Whereas, calcineurin inhibitors is expected to grow at the fastest
CAGR during the forecast period owing to its high response rate and presence of
strong pipeline of calcineurin inhibitors and semi-synthetic analogs of these
inhibitors.
