Inflammatory Bowel Disease - Market Insights, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast - 2030

The global inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.72% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2030. The IBD market is slated to witness prosperity owing to factors such as the rising prevalence of IBD including Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC), increasing risk factors for IBD, increasing number of clinical trials for IBD drugs, and the growing focus on improving the safety and usability of IBD drugs and diagnostic devices are further expected to result in the appreciable revenue growth in the IBD market during the forecast period (2024-2030).

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Market Dynamics:

The rising prevalence of IBD including Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis is one of the major factors driving the growth of the IBD market. According to the European Federation of Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis Associations 2022, worldwide around 10 million people are suffering from inflammatory bowel disease.

As per Crohn’s & Colitis Australia 2022, it was estimated that around 100,000 to 160,000 people were living with Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis in Australia in 2022, thus adding to the global disease burden of IBD.

The rising number of risk factors including smoking, poor eating habits, family history, use of drugs such as Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), air pollution, stress, and depression among others for IBD development is also going to increase the demand for diagnostic devices and medications for IBD, positively impacting the market growth for IBD. The increasing rate of smoking population in multiple countries around the world increases the overall burden of IBD. For instance, as per the Nanny State Index (NSI) 2022, the rate of people smoking in Austria was 26.40% in 2020. As per the data reported by Foundation for a Smoke-Free World 2022, there were 20.4 million adult smokers in Brazil in 2019.

Also, the use of NSAIDs which are often taken for the treatment and management of several inflammatory conditions is highly associated with the occurrence of IBD. NSAIDs may trigger the disease activity in both Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis. These drugs can result in a frequent and early relapse of IBD. Thereby, accelerating the demand for IBD drugs and diagnostic devices.

The increasing number of pharmaceutical trials for inflammatory bowel disease is likely to assist the growth of the inflammatory bowel disease market. For example, in May 2022, the pivotal, Phase III LUCENT-2 study of Eli Lilly and Company, involving patients with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) who were treated with mirikizumab for 12 weeks witnessed statistically superior and clinically significant improvements at one year compared to placebo across all important secondary endpoints, including bowel urgency severity, and the primary endpoint of clinical remission.

Also, in March 2022, Pfizer Inc. announced positive Phase III results from the study of etrasimod which is an investigational, oral, once-a-day, selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator, in development, for the treatment of moderately to severely active Ulcerative Colitis (UC).

However, side effects associated with IBD drugs and stringent regulatory challenges for IBD drugs and diagnostic devices may act as a restraint in the growth of the inflammatory bowel disease market.

The inflammatory bowel disease market reported a short period of restraint in the market growth owing to the implementation of the lockdown as a necessary step to stop the spread of COVID-19 infection. This led to a decline in the development and manufacturing of IBD drugs owing to a shortage of raw materials. Also, the manufacturing and supply of diagnostic devices for IBD were affected. Moreover, due to shifted focus on first treating patients with COVID-19 infection, the diagnosis and treatment of IBD-suspected patients were halted. However, with the resumption of activities across industries including the healthcare and pharmaceutical sector, there has been a rising demand for the IBD owing to the resumption of activities. The post-COVID scenario is going to be uplifting for the IBD market during the forecast period from 2024-2030.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Market Segment Analysis:

IBD Market by Type (Diagnosis [Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT), Endoscopy, Blood Test, Stool Test, Immunoassays, and Others] and Treatment [Drug Class {Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Immunosuppressant, Analgesics, Antibiotics, and Others} and Surgical]), Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World)

Based on the type segment of the IBD market, the endoscopy category under-diagnosis is projected to register a significant growth in revenue in the IBD market during the forecast period (2024-2030).

This can be ascribed to the advantages associated with the various endoscopic methods in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of inflammatory bowel disease.

Endoscopic methods including colonoscopy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, and capsule endoscopy are the key diagnostic methods utilized for the accurate diagnosis of IBD. Diagnosis through these methods helps in the easy differentiation of Crohn’s disease (CD) with that from Ulcerative Colitis (UC).

Ileocolonoscopy which is colonoscopy with ileoscopy is considered the gold standard method for the detection and diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease. Through ileocolonoscopy, the most severely or commonly affected areas of the bowel in patients with IBD can be easily visualized.

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy is highly recommended in pediatric patients in whom IBD is suspected and it helps to establish a definitive diagnosis for both Crohn’s disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC).

Sigmoidoscopy assists in the examination of IBD in the colon and rectum. Capsule endoscopy offers visualization of the entire length of the small bowel in suspected IBD patients in a comparatively less invasive manner. For example, PillCam™ SB 3 by Medtronic is a minimally invasive capsule endoscopy system with an ingestible camera in a capsule that allows visualization of the small bowel and assists in the diagnosis of Crohn’s disease.

Therefore, considering the advantages associated with endoscopic methods and their growing popularity among the end-users, this product category is expected to generate considerable revenue thereby pushing the overall growth of the global IBD market during the forecast period.

North America is expected to dominate the overall Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Market:

Among all the regions, North America is expected to lead in revenue generation in the global IBD market. This can be ascribed to the increasing prevalence of IBD across the region, and a highly potent market in terms of product development and launches, initiatives by government and non-government organizations for IBD patients, and the local presence of key market players among other factors in the region.

The rising number of cases of IBD in the region is one of the major factors driving the growth of the inflammatory bowel disease market. For instance, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2022, about 3 million people are living with IBD in the United States. As per the same source, around 80,000 children are expected to be suffering from IBD in the US. This, therefore, indicates the growing need for diagnostic tools and technologies as well as medications for proper diagnosis, treatment, and management of the disease.

The rising number of initiatives by the government and non-government organizations such as research funding in the region is another possible factor affecting the growth of the IBD market. Crohn's & Colitis Foundation is a non-profit organization involved in sponsoring basic and clinical research happening in relation to inflammatory bowel disease. For instance, In May 2022, Progenity, Inc., a biotechnology company, received funding from the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s IBD Ventures program to further develop Progenity’s first-in-class oral Drug Delivery System (DDS) for delivery of targeted therapeutics for IBD.

Earlier, in January 2022, to potentially create the first clinical lab test to forecast disease course in young patients with Crohn's disease and response to therapy, the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation partnered with LifeArc, an independent medical research charity that promotes translation of early science into health care treatments or diagnostics. The clinicians would benefit from a predictive test that could properly predict which kids may experience issues and which patients will benefit from anti-TNF therapy.

Hence, the above-mentioned factors are expected to bolster the growth of the IBD market in the United States during the forecast period.
