PharmaPoint: Psoriatic Arthritis - Global Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2025

Summary

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic immune-mediated arthritis typically affecting the large joints, especially those of the lower extremities and distal joints of the fingers and toes as well as the back and sacroiliac joints of the pelvis. In approximately 80% of PsA patients, skin lesions of psoriasis (PsO), an immune-mediated skin disease, manifest prior to the development of PsA, typically by five to 10 years. PsA most commonly develops between the ages of 30 and 50 and affects men and women equally. Although, early diagnosis and intervention are key in preventing irreversible joint damage, many PsA patients are undiagnosed and go untreated for months or years.

GlobalData projects the PsA market in 7MM to experience strong growth during the forecast period at a CAGR of 10.74%. By the forecast's end in 2025, sales will increase to over $12.58 billion from $4.53 billion in 2015. This growth will be driven primarily by the increase in diagnosed prevalent cases from 1,044,022 in 2015 to 1,520,471 in 2025. Further, the launch of the IL-17 inhibitors, including Novartis' Cosentyx, Eli Lilly's Taltz, and AstraZeneca's Lumicef, as well as the launch of Celgene's oral therapy Otezla, will expand the treatment armamentarium for PsA driving growth in the market.

Key Findings

• The PsA market is currently very dynamic, with effective biologic therapies recently approved, including interleukin-17 (IL-17) inhibitors - Cosentyx, Taltz, and Lumicef - and oral phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) - Otezla.
• Novel biologic therapies will challenge the current anti-TNF biologics in an attempt to dislodge their stronghold, if their safety and efficacy profiles are proven once they enter the market.
• The impending patent cliff for biologics will allow for the emergence of biosimilars to all the marketed biologic brands. Patent expiries take place during the forecast period for the current market leaders such as Johnson & Johnson’s Remicade (infliximab), AbbVie’s Humira (adalimumab), Amgen’s Enbrel (etanercept) and Johnson & Johnson’s Stelara (ustekinumab).
• The drivers for market growth will include the increasing diagnosis rate as well as the recent approval of novel therapies. The main challenge for individual drugs will be to distinguish themselves in a crowded marketplace, comprising a highly diversified field of therapies, with existing drugs struggling to increase their patient share.
