KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Play Audio Listen to Audio Version

The inflammatory bowel disease treatment market size was valued at USD 23.90 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 37.00 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period. The global market exhibited a slower growth of 4.7% in 2020 as compared to 2019. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with inflammatory bowel disease treatment experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.  


Globally, the prevalence of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease is increasing due to factors such as lifestyle changes in the people, environmental factors, and others. For instance, according to the American Gastroenterological Association, the global prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease is 396 cases per 100,000 persons annually. Additionally, with the increasing emphasis on the early diagnosis of the disease, a higher diagnosis rate of the disease and adequate reimbursement policies in developed countries support the growth of the market. This led to the rising number of patients undergoing treatment for IBD and increased the demand for inflammatory bowel disease treatment drugs such as TNF inhibitors, IL inhibitors, JAK inhibitors, and others in the market.


The growing awareness about the benefits of drugs such as biologics, corticosteroids, and others is increasing the adoption of inflammatory bowel disease therapeutics globally. For instance, according to the research study conducted by Science Direct, in South America, from the total 655 patients studied, biological therapy was used by 36.4% of the patients suffering from Crohn’s disease and 9.1% of the patients suffering from ulcerative colitis.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Delay in Diagnostic Procedures amid COVID-19 to Limit Treatment Rate of IBD


The impact of COVID-19 resulted in slower growth of the inflammatory bowel disease treatment market during the forecast period. Several factors are responsible for the slower treatment rate of the disease, including the closure of the diagnostic centers, travel restrictions, and lockdowns in many countries globally.



  • For instance, according to the article published by BMJ Journals, over 50% of people with IBD were diagnosed without a histological diagnosis due to restrictions placed on endoscopy at over 90% of centers across the U.K., in April 2020, as compared to the same month in 2019.


The market players witnessed a significant decline in revenue generated during 2020. For instance, Pfizer Inc. registered a decline of -3.5% in revenues generated from its inflammation & immunology segment in 2020. Additionally, Bausch Health Companies Inc. registered a decline of -5.8% in the revenues generated from its Salix division in 2020.


However, in 2021, the regulations imposed by the governments were relaxed, and as a result, the visits to hospitals and diagnostic centers increased. Thus, the demand for the drugs was increased in 2021 due to the increasing diagnosis rate of the disease. The major companies in the market observed an increase in revenues of the drugs during 2021. For instance, AbbVie Inc. observed an increase in revenues of HUMIRA by 4.3% in 2021 as compared to the revenue in 2020.

The rising prevalence of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and the increasing awareness of the disease globally are some of the factors responsible for the inflammatory bowel disease treatment market growth. Thus, various key industry players are focusing on R&D and exploring new potential candidates for the IBD treatment.



  • For instance, according to ClinicalTrials.gov., more than 145 clinical studies are active for ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. The majority of the molecules are in phases 3 & 4 of the clinical trials.


Eli Lilly and Company used mirikizumab drug in phase 3 of clinical trials to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of mirikizumab in children and adolescents with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.


Additionally, the increasing demand for biologics for treating these conditions has influenced market players to expand their portfolios and commercialize their drugs globally. Thus, the rising regulatory approvals for the drugs launched by the key players and increasing patients' preferences for the medications are projected to support the market growth during the forecast period.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High Cost of Drugs and Limited Reimbursement Policies to Restrict Market Growth


There is a lack of awareness about inflammatory bowel disease in developing countries, reducing the number of patients undergoing treatment. Additionally, high treatment cost, including the drug cost and other cost, is projected to limit the adoption of inflammatory bowel disease treatment in patients.



  • For instance, according to the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, the average annual cost of medications per patient for IBD treatment is approximately USD 5,100 in 2020.


Additionally, the adoption of biologics is increasing to treat ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, but the high costs associated with biologics treatment are limiting the market growth.



  • For instance, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the average annual cost of Adalimumab per person is about USD 12,343 in the U.K.


In emerging countries, such as India, China, and Russia, there is a lack of reimbursement for IBD treatment, limiting the adoption of these drugs in the region. Thus, the high cost of medications for treating inflammatory bowel disease and the lack of reimbursement policies in developing countries are restricting the market growth during the forecast period.
