    Analyst Opinion

    The Anti-Rheumatic Drugs market in Bahrain has been steadily growing over the past few years.

    Customer preferences:
    There is a growing preference for biologic drugs among patients in Bahrain. Biologic drugs are known to be more effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis, which is the most common type of arthritis in the country. Patients are also becoming more aware of the side effects of traditional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and are opting for biologics instead.

    Trends in the market:
    The Anti-Rheumatic Drugs market in Bahrain is expected to grow in the coming years due to the increasing prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis in the country. The market is also expected to benefit from the introduction of new biologic drugs, which are more effective in treating the disease. In addition, the government is investing in healthcare infrastructure, which will improve access to healthcare services, including rheumatology services.

    Local special circumstances:
    Bahrain has a high prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis, with around 1% of the population affected by the disease. This is partly due to the high prevalence of consanguineous marriages in the country, which increases the risk of genetic disorders. In addition, the hot and humid climate in Bahrain can exacerbate symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    Bahrain has a small but growing economy, with a focus on the service sector. The government is investing in healthcare infrastructure to improve access to healthcare services, which will benefit the Anti-Rheumatic Drugs market. However, the country is facing economic challenges due to low oil prices and the COVID-19 pandemic, which could impact the growth of the market in the short term.
