Gout Therapeutics Market: Rapidly Evolving Industry…… COVID-19….


The global gout therapeutics market is expected to reach a value of USD 8.3 billion By 2025, based on a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The gout therapeutics market is anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the introduction of major urate-lowering agents, approval of effective biologics, and increasing number of patients suffering from chronic gout.
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.
In December 2015, AstraZeneca’s product, Zurampic (lesinurad), in combination with xanthine oxidase inhibitor (XOI) received an approval from the U. S. FDA to treat gout. Later in February 2016, the European Commission approved the drug throughout the European Union (EU). Hence, introduction of urate-lowering agents is expected to drive the market.
Introduction of biologics to treat gout and increasing adoption of newer therapies further help propel the industry. For instance, in March 2013, Novartis received an EU approval for the product, Ilaris, for use in the treatment of patients suffering from gouty arthritis.
Some of the key players in the industry include GlaxoSmithKline plc; Savient Pharmaceuticals; Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Ltd.; Novartis AG; AstraZeneca plc; Merck & Co. Inc.; Teijin Pharma Ltd.; and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.

Further key findings from the study suggest:
·         Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Agents (NSAIDs) accounted for the highest share of the market in 2015, which can be credited to highest penetration, higher demand due to low cost, and efficient pain relief.
·         Urate-lowering agents segment is expected to grow at the highest rate over the coming years. Expected entry of various new drugs, increasing adoption of drugs, and growing investment by key players for development of these agents are likely to drive the segment.
·         Chronic gout dominated in 2015 and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. Approval of new drugs to treat chronic gout and long-term expenditure for treatment are the key factors responsible to propel the industry.
·         NSAIDs, colchicine, and corticosteroids are majorly used to treat acute gout, and urate-lowering agents are utilized in chronic gout treatment in combination with NSAIDs or Colchicine.
·         Geographically, North America dominated the overall industry in 2015. This is attributed to higher adoption of the newer & expensive treatments and rising awareness about arthritic conditions.
·         Asia Pacific is expected to witness highest growth during the forecast period due to growing awareness and increasing healthcare expenditure. Furthermore, growing investment in the region by key players is likely to boost the regional growth.
·         Some of the key players are Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Ltd.; Novartis AG; Savient Pharmaceuticals; AstraZeneca plc; GlaxoSmithKline plc; Merck& Co. Inc.; Teijin Pharma Ltd.; and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.
The global gout therapeutics market size was valued at USD 1.8 billion in 2015 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 16 % over the forecast period. This high growth is attributed to the introduction of various drugs and increasing adoption of biologics & regenerative drugs for the treatment.
Biologics such as Krystexxa, Canakinumab, and Rilonacept have been introduced in the market. Increasing adoption of these biologics because of their ability to produce powerful anti-inflammatory action is likely to drive the market during the forecast period. Furthermore, several other drugs that are in clinical trials currently are expected to be launched during the forecast period, and are likely to propel the industry.
Rising prevalence of gout across the globe due to changing lifestyle is likely to boost the industry over the coming years. Increasing alcohol consumption, high purine diet, rising obesity & kidney diseases amongst people, and consumption of certain medications such as diuretics are likely to further boost the incidence of gout.
Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) dominated the industry in 2015. This is attributed to the high level of penetration of drugs, availability at lower cost in comparison to drugs of other classes, and the ability to relieve pain in case of acute gout attack.
Urate-lowering agents segment is anticipated to grow with the highest rate during the forecast period. Urate-lowering agents majorly consist of xanthine oxidase inhibitor and uricosuric agents. Growing adoption of this treatment and introduction of several drugs are likely to drive the industry during the forecast period.

Corticosteroids are generally used for patients who are intolerant to colchicine or NSAIDs. Furthermore, rebound gout attacks after withdrawal of the steroids are common and may restrain the corticosteroids segment.
The chronic gout segment dominated in 2015 and is expected to maintain its share during the forecast period. This segment encompasses urate-lowering agents such as xanthine oxidase inhibitor and uricosuric agents. Introduction of urate-lowering drugs and expected entry of pipeline drugs are likely to drive the market at the fastest rate during the forecast period.
NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and colchicine are majorly used to treat acute gout. Although the penetration of these drugs is higher, low cost as compared to urate-lowering agents and low treatment adherence are the key reasons for lower share in the market.
