Psoriasis Global Market Report 2024

The psoriasis market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $23.87 billion in 2023 to $26.5 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.0%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to various factors, including advances in epidemiology, increased patient awareness and education regarding psoriasis, and improvements in healthcare infrastructure and access for those seeking treatment.

The psoriasis market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $39.17 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as regulatory approvals for new treatments, evolving patient preferences, a growing aging population, increased awareness of psoriasis, and the introduction of innovative therapies. Prominent trends in this forecast period encompass advancements in research and development, the rise of biologics and targeted therapies, the emergence of oral small molecule therapies, the adoption of personalized medicine, the integration of telemedicine and digital health solutions, the promotion of patient-centric care models, the utilization of biosimilars, and the incorporation of artificial intelligence and machine learning in healthcare for psoriasis management.

The increasing prevalence of psoriasis patients is a driving force behind the growth of the psoriasis market. Psoriasis, a skin condition, is influenced by factors such as the immune system, genetics, and environmental factors. Over recent years, the surge in psoriasis cases can be primarily attributed to climate changes, elevated stress levels, and unhealthy lifestyles. The World Psoriasis Day consortium reports that a significant 2 to 3% of the global population, which translates to 125 million individuals, suffers from psoriasis. Consequently, the escalating number of psoriasis patients is expected to be a key driver for the growth of the psoriasis market in the foreseeable future.

The primary categories of drugs used to manage psoriasis include interleukin inhibitors, corticosteroids, anti-inflammatories, and tumor necrosis factor inhibitors. Corticosteroids are a group of steroid hormones produced by the adrenal cortex in vertebrates and can also be synthesized as medications. These drugs come in various forms, including small molecules and biologics, and are applied to treat different manifestations of the disease, such as plaque psoriasis, nail psoriasis, guttate psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, and erythrodermic psoriasis. They are administered via various routes, including oral, topical, and injectable methods and can be obtained through hospitals, retail pharmacies, and e-commerce channels.

The psoriasis market is poised for growth, thanks to the increasing geriatric population. This demographic, composed of individuals aged 65 years and older, is more prone to conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and elevated blood glucose levels, which can exacerbate psoriasis. According to the World Health Organization's October 2022 data, one in six individuals worldwide will be 60 or older by 2030, with the total population in this age group expected to reach 1.4 billion, up from 1 billion in 2020. The number of people aged 80 or older is predicted to triple to 426 million by 2050. Consequently, the rising geriatric population is a driving force behind the growth of the psoriasis market.

The high cost associated with psoriasis therapy is expected to act as a constraint on the market's growth over the forecast period. For instance, reported by WebMD, the use of disease-modifying antirheumatic medications (DMARD) for treating Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) can cost between $1,500 and $2,000 annually. In the United States, a dermatologist office visit typically ranges from $150 to $200. Patent protections often limit access to more affordable alternative medications, contributing to the high cost of psoriasis therapy and subsequently hampering market growth.

An emerging trend in the psoriasis market is the use of combination therapy. Combination therapy involves the simultaneous use of two different psoriasis treatments. Combining drugs with distinct mechanisms of action (combination therapy) often results in more significant treatment effects compared to monotherapy (using a single drug). Studies indicate that combination therapy provides more effective relief from psoriasis symptoms and is associated with fewer side effects. An example of combination therapy for treating active Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) is the combination of Taltz (ixekizumab) with methotrexate, a development by Eli Lilly and Company.

Major companies operating in the psoriasis market are intensifying their efforts to introduce innovative products and secure approval from regulatory agencies, aiming to maximize their market revenues. The drug development and approval process is intricate and time-consuming, requiring drug sponsors to navigate the regulatory framework and marketing pathways to ensure safety and effectiveness. As an illustration, in September 2022, Boehringer Ingelheim, a Germany-based pharmaceutical company, received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for SPEVIGO, marking the first approved treatment for generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) flare-ups in adults. SPEVIGO is a novel, highly selective antibody designed to inhibit the interleukin-36 receptor (IL-36R) activation, a pivotal component of an immune system signaling pathway linked to GPP development. GPP, characterized by periods of widespread eruptions of sterile pustules, is a rare and potentially life-threatening neutrophilic skin condition.

The process of approving psoriasis drugs has become more streamlined on a global scale, as evidenced by the increasing approvals of drugs for psoriasis in recent years. Some notable examples include the regulatory approval of SKYRIZI (risankizumab) for plaque psoriasis treatment in Japan and the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research's approval of Avsola (infliximab-axxq) for treating plaque psoriasis. This simplified drug approval process is expected to drive the psoriasis drugs market in the forecast period.
