Journal of Autoimmune Disorders

Market Analysis Report

An autoimmune disease is a body’s hyperactive immune response against the substances and tissues normally present in the body. Autoimmune diseases are more commonly caused by genetic, infectious or environmental factors. The prevalence of autoimmune disease is on rise. The diseases in estimated to be one of the top 10 cause of death in women under the age 65, and is the second highest cause of chronic illness. Also, it is the top cause of morbidity in women in the U.S. There are more than 80 clinically different type of autoimmune diseases identified till date. Some of the common types of autoimmune diseases are Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and with rising prevalence of autoimmune diseases the demand of drugs used in the treatment for autoimmune disease is also rising. With rising incidence of autoimmune diseases, rapid technological advancements in medical field such as novel biomarkers, rise in healthcare expenditure, development and presence of large untapped opportunities in the emerging markets such as Eastern European, APAC and MEA region are major factors, expected to boost the growth of the global autoimmune disease therapeutics market during the forecast period (2017–2026). The global market for autoimmune disease therapeutics is expected to register a healthy CAGR during the forecast period. Depending on geographic regions, global autoimmune disease therapeutics market is segmented into seven key regions: North America, South America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and Asia Pacific excluding Japan, Japan and Middle East & Africa. North America accounts for the largest market shares in the autoimmune disease therapeutics market owing to growing prevalence of various forms of autoimmune disorders, and presence of government initiatives such as Affordable Care Act and Patient Protection Act. Increasing healthcare expenditure in the region is also expected to drive the overall autoimmune disease therapeutics market in the near future. According to National Institute of Health estimates in the U.S. the annual expenditure on autoimmune disease therapeutics is estimated to be US$ 100 Bn. Europe is anticipated to be the second largest market during the forecast period owing to increasing government with the focus of improving healthcare infrastructure, growing prevalence of autoimmune diseases, increased penetration of new technologies such as portable diagnostic equipment and novel biomarkers. However, in Eastern Europe presence of large untapped opportunities will fuel the market growth of autoimmune disease therapeutics in the coming years.
