Multiple Sclerosis Therapeutics Market

Multiple Sclerosis Therapeutics Market Outlook 2031

The global multiple sclerosis therapeutics market size was USD 27.70 Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach USD 37.62 Billion by 2031 register a substantial CAGR 3.46% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising cases of patients suffering secondary progressive multiple sclerosis and increasing demand for efficient drugs.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, particularly the connection between the brain and other parts of the body. It is a demyelinating disease in which the insulating coverings of spinal cord and nerve cells in the brain are damaged. Partial or total vision loss, extended visual loss, lack of coordination, and slurred speech are the most prevalent signs of the condition.

Furthermore, the kinds of multiple sclerosis include primary progressive MS, secondary progressive MS, and relapsing-remitting MS. The most prevalent variety of MS is relapsing-remitting MS, which is marked by distinct attacks with growing neurological symptoms. Meanwhile, the primary progressive MS is a rare form characterized by slow disease progression and secondary progressive MS is commonly found in persons with relapsed-remitting MS.

The COVID-19 pandemic has emerged as the world's most critical healthcare crisis in 2020. This would be problematic for underdeveloped countries around the world in terms of trade disruptions that lead to lower imports. Supply chain interruptions due to this pandemic situation would harm product sales for short period of time.

However, pharmacies are allowed to remain open during the lockdown, MS medications have been available throughout the pandemic. Furthermore, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, several firms are reducing their clinical trial operations and delaying new product launches. For example, Bristol-Myers Squibb postponed the marketing of their multiple sclerosis medicine Zeposia (ozanimod).

Multiple Sclerosis Therapeutics Market Segment Insights

Immunomodulators segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace

Based on drugs, the global multiple therapeutics sclerosis market is segmented into copaxone, immunomodulators, immunosuppressant, tysabri, avonex, gilenya, tecfidera, betaseron, ampyra, rebif, extavia, alemtuzumab, aubagio, plegridy, glatopa, ocrelizumab, siponimod, zinbryta, and laquinimod. The immunomodulators segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to the brand loyalty, higher prescription rate, and the availability of wide range of drugs options.

However, the immunosuppressants segment is estimated to account for a considerable market share in the coming years. The segment growth can be attributed to favorable effects on patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis by weakening the immune system and terminating the autoimmune attack in the patient's body and preventing relapses.

Alemtuzumab, dimethyl fumarate, fingolimod, glatiramer acetate, interferon beta preparations, natalizumab, ocrelizumab, and teriflunomide are the only immunosuppressants licensed for the use in relapsing forms of MS.

Competitive Landscape

Some of the major companies competing in the global multiple sclerosis therapeutics market are Novartis International AG; Bayer AG.; Biogen Idec Inc.; Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd.; Pfizer Inc.; Sanofi S.A.; and Merck & Co. Inc. Most of these big players are implementing various marketing strategies such as partnerships, mergers & acquisitions, collaboration, and extensive product portfolio along with expanding service capacity on various geographies to secure their competitive edge in the global market.

For example, the MS Society has invested huge amount of money in MS-STAT2 trial in 2017, that provides the first-ever neuroprotective treatment for Multiple Sclerosis. Copaxone (glatiramer acetate injection) was launched in the pre-filled autoinjector YpsoMate by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. in July 2019.

This launch aided patients in managing medicine doses and allowing them to self-administer drug doses without the assistance of a drug administrator. In August 2020, Genzyme Corporation has signed acquired Principia Biopharma Inc., which aimed to develop therapy solutions for immune-mediated diseases. This acquisition strengthens the company's research efforts in the field of multiple sclerosis as well as other immune-mediated diseases.
