This new publication covers the severe asthma market over the forecast period of 2023-33.

The analyst estimated the total severe asthma market to be valued at $5.1 billion across the 8MM, with the US accounting for 80.4% of the market. The five major European markets (5EU) (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and UK) accounted for 16.2% of the global severe asthma market in 2023 with an estimated value of $825.1 million. Japan’s severe asthma market was estimated to be $30.6 million in 2023, accounting for 0.6% of the market. China’s severe asthma market was estimated to be $58.4 million in 2023, accounting for 1.1% of the market.

Major drivers of growth in the PsO market over the forecast period include:

  • Increased adoption of biologics: The expansion of biologic therapies, including [Dupixent (dupilumab), Fasenra (benralizumab), Tezspire (tezepelumab)], will contribute to market growth despite their high costs. These therapies provide targeted treatment for Type 2 inflammation-driven asthma and are increasingly prescribed due to their effectiveness in reducing exacerbations.
  • Expansion of market access and reimbursement policies: Improved insurance coverage and reimbursement policies for biologics in key markets, particularly in the US and 5EU, will facilitate wider adoption and drive revenue growth.
  • Rising prevalence and increased diagnosis rates: The number of diagnosed severe asthma patients is expected to grow as awareness improves and healthcare systems implement better screening and management strategies.
  • Introduction of novel therapies: The pipeline for severe asthma includes next-generation biologics with more convenient dosing schedules targeting novel inflammatory pathways (such as depemokimab, lunsekimig, AZD-8630) which may further drive market expansion.

The major barriers of growth in the PsO market during the forecast period include:

  • High cost of biologics and access limitations: The high price of biologics continues to be a significant barrier, particularly in regions with stringent reimbursement policies. Cost-effectiveness assessments and payer constraints may limit broader adoption.
  • Limited treatment options for non-Type 2 asthma: While targeted biologics have transformed the treatment landscape for Type 2 severe asthma, effective options for non-Type 2 (neutrophilic or mixed-inflammatory) asthma remain limited, presenting an ongoing unmet need.
  • Patent expirations and biosimilar competition: Several leading biologics are expected to face patent expirations during the forecast period, potentially leading to increased competition from biosimilars and downward pressure on pricing.
  • Patient adherence challenges: Some patients with severe asthma may struggle with adherence to biologic therapies due to factors such as administration method, dosing frequency, or accessibility, impacting long-term treatment outcomes.

Key Highlights

  • In 2023, The analyst estimated that the global severe asthma market reached $5.1 billion across the 8MM, and expects the severe asthma market to grow at a strong Compound Annual Growth Rate of 7.1%, reaching sales of $10.1 billion by 2033.

Major drivers of the severe market growth over the forecast period are the:

  • The expansion of biologic therapies, including Dupixent (dupilumab), Fasenra (benralizumab), and Tezspire (tezepelumab).
