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.
