The global axial spondyloarthritis market is well entrenched. Biopharmaceutical companies are trying to match themselves with new technologies in the market to improve the overall system from drug discovery to drug commercialization. The companies operating in the global axial spondyloarthritis market are now focusing more on biologics and personalized therapy to enhance therapeutics and improve patient outcomes. Also, major players such as AbbVie Inc., Eli Lilly and Company, Novartis International AG, and Pfizer Inc. are investing heavily in clinical trials for their respective therapeutic candidates to treat axial spondyloarthritis. Increasing investments in the research and development of drug manufacturing is one of the major opportunities in the global axial spondyloarthritis market.

The global axial spondyloarthritis market was estimated to be at $1,873.8 million in 2021, which is expected to grow with a CAGR of 13.44% and reach $7,937.8 million by 2032. The growth in the global axial spondyloarthritis market is expected to be driven by the introduction of novel products, the increasing awareness about the disease, and the rising research and development investments, among others.

With an increased worldwide focus on treating axial spondyloarthritis, the major market players are developing novel therapeutics, such as anti-janus kinase therapy, anti-interleukin therapy, and anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy, which is significantly impacting the growth of axial spondyloarthritis market. Due to the introduction of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors and interleukin 17 inhibitors, a new era of drug therapy was initiated for previously largely incurable diseases. For instance, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved three novel products, i.e., Xeljanz, Taltz, and Cosentyx, in 2020 and 2021 to treat patients with axial spondyloarthritis.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has exerted tremendous strain on the research and clinical development of axial spondyloarthritis emerging therapies. Companies operating in axial spondyloarthritis have changed their focus on the research and development of drugs used for COVID-19 treatment to help governments and communities establish a new normal across the globe. This has resulted in the delayed launch of emerging therapies due to a shift in priorities regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. 

In addition, the clinical trials have slowed down since the COVID-19 outbreak. The primary reason has been the difficulty in patient recruitment for the ongoing clinical trials, which will impact the launch timelines of the drugs. Most healthcare conferences were canceled, and most marketing activities transitioned to virtual methods. Moreover, organizations, such as CDC and ASCO, have indicated to refrain from clinical visits to patients.
