Key Market Trends

Rheumatoid Arthritis Dominates the Market and is Expected to Continue to Do the Same during the Forecast Period

• Rheumatoid arthritis is expected to dominate the global adalimumab drugs market through the forecast period. This can be attributed to rising prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis which causes different symptoms such as joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, which are generally accompanied by chronic pain and inability to perform daily activities. Over a prolonged period, this disorder can hamper a patient’s mobility and can lead to permanent joint damage. If left untreated, this disorder can lead to mobility impairment and risk of joint replacement.
• According to the World Health Organization, more than 23 million people live with rheumatoid arthritis. Thus, the rheumatoid arthritis segment is witnessing a shift toward combination therapies that provide enhanced results to patients. Higher availability, positive results, and low price of biosimilar for the target disease are supplementing the growth of the segment. Introduction of new biosimilars such as Hadlima and Adaly in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is poised to create a significant shift in prescription patterns.
