Psoriasis Drugs Market Size Worth USD 21.11 Billion by 2022

The global psoriasis drugs market size is expected to be valued at USD 21.11 billion by 2022, as per a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., experiencing a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period. Rising disease awareness, increasing number of reimbursement strategies for biologics, and advanced diagnostic and technological tools are likely to increase the adoption of psoriasis therapeutics.

Additionally, expanding base of patients suffering from psoriasis is anticipated to fuel growth prospects. The exact causative factors for psoriasis are undetermined; however, certain genetic and environmental factors may trigger the disease onset. Most available treatments aim to decelerate disease progression by stopping hyperproliferation of keratinocyte.
Psoriasis can be classified into five types: plaque, guttate, inverse, pustular, and erythrodermic. The types vary in terms of site of disease and characterization of lesions. Erythrodermic psoriasis is the rarest and plaque psoriasis is the most prevalent type affecting patients all over the world.
Incidence rate of psoriasis has witnessed a gradual rise over the years across various geographical locations. This increase can be attributed to genetic and environmental triggers as well as lifestyle changes. Rise in prevalence rates could also be associated with declining response or developing resistance to therapies for disease control.

Migraine Drugs Market Size Worth USD 7.8 Billion by 2025

The global migraine drugs market size is expected to be valued at USD 7.8 billion by 2025, as per a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., exhibiting an 18.0% CAGR during the forecast period. The market is largely driven by factors such as rise in disease prevalence, development of novel therapies, lifestyle changes, and hormonal medications.

Migraine is a debilitating neurological disease characterized by recurrent attacks of severe throbbing head pain that can last for more than three days. Migraine pain may get worse on movement, preventing the patient from carrying out normal, day-to-day activities. In about one-third of attacks, both sides of the head, face, or neck are affected.
Over the past five years, the global migraine drugs market has been relatively stagnant, with the market mainly dominated by usage of generic triptans and other off-label drugs. Majority of the currently prescribed drugs for both acute and preventative treatment are associated with poor efficacy and an unfavorable side-effect profile.
Launch of Amgen/ Novartis’ CGRP mAb Aimovig and Teva Pharma’s Ajovy is the first step toward revolutionizing the treatment paradigm of migraine prevention. For drug manufacturers likely to enter the market by 2019, such as Eli Lilly, Alder BioPharma, and Biohaven Pharma, pricing will be a key differentiating factor as all CGRP-based therapies have a similar efficacy and safety profile.

Further key findings from the report suggest:
  • Germany leads the European market, driven by rising disease prevalence, novel drug launches, and increase in R&D activities
  • The acute migraine treatment market will be supported by rapid uptake of novel drug classes such as CGRP receptor antagonists and ditans currently under active investigation in multiple Phase II/III trials
  • Biohaven’s rimegepant is expected to face competition from Allergan's ubrogepant, which has shown superior efficacy in Phase III trials compared to rimegepant
  • Eli Lilly’s Phase III 5-HT1F receptor agonist Lasmiditan is expected to be a novel first-line non triptan acute treatment option for patients in whom triptans are contradicted
  • Approximately 20% of patients seeking preventive treatment for migraine do not respond to available generic medications. Several biologics and small molecules drugs are undergoing active development to target high unmet needs in the preventive treatment segment
  • Drugs with novel targets in early-phase development include AOBiome Therapeutics’ AOB-203 (antibacterial), Winston Pharma’s Dolorac (histamine H1 receptor antagonists), NeuroAxons’ NXN-188 (combination of NOS inhibitor and a triptan), and Biohaven’s BHV-3500 (gepant). These novel agents are under evaluation for both episodic and chronic migraine in multiple Phase I/II trials.
