Ankylosing Spondylitis Market

Ankylosing Spondylitis Market Statistics 2030:

The global ankylosing spondylitis market size was valued at $5,140.94 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $8,110.59 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.6% from 2021 to 2030. The ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory disease that can cause some of the bones in the spine (vertebrae) to fuse over time. This fusing makes the spine less flexible and can result in a hunched posture. If ribs are affected, it can be difficult to breathe deeply. Ankylosing spondylitis is a complex disorder that can cause some serious complications when left unchecked.

Symptoms and complications for many patients can be controlled or reduced by following a regular treatment plan. The early signs and symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis might include pain and stiffness in the lower back and hips, especially in the morning and after periods of inactivity. Neck pain and fatigue also are common. Over time, symptoms might worsen, improve or stop at irregular intervals.

The ankylosing spondylitis has no known specific cause, though genetic factors seem to be involved. In particular, people who have a gene called HLA-B27 are at a greatly increased risk of developing ankylosing spondylitis. However, only some people with the gene develop the condition. The ankylosing spondylitis can be diagnosed with physical examination. In addition, MRI and X-ray imaging tests are performed for diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis.

The ankylosing spondylitis cannot be cured or treated completely but symptoms of disease can be managed with drug treatment and physical exercise. For the management of pain associated with ankylosing spondylitis generally NSAIDs are preferred. In addition, TNF inhibitors, corticosteroids and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are used for management of inflammation in ankylosing spondylitis. Furthermore, monoclonal antibodies has been approved for treatment of ankylosing spondylitis.

The growth of the global ankylosing spondylitis market is majorly driven by an increase in prevalence of ankylosing spondylitis. For instance, according to paper published in Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology, in 2020, titled ‘Prevalence of ankylosing spondylitis in Spain’, the study found that about 7.3% population shows positive screening for ankylosing spondylitis. Furthermore, rise in number of orthopedic hospitals and diagnostic centers boost the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. For instance, according to Definitive Healthcare data in 2020 there are more than 30,500 orthopedic surgeons in the U.S. 

Moreover, advancement in ankylosing spondylitis therapy is anticipated to contribute toward the growth of the ankylosing spondylitis market. For instance, in August, 2019, Lilly, a leading manufacturer of biopharmaceuticals, receives U.S. FDA Approval for Taltz (ixekizumab) for the Treatment of Active Ankylosing Spondylitis. Taltz is a monoclonal antibody used to reduce inflammation and pain. However, high cost of ankylosing spondylitis therapy and adverse effects of drugs used for treatment of ankylosing spondylitis restricted the market growth during the forecast period.
