Market Insights report
The market Anti-Rheumatic Drugs includes medication for the treatment of the inflammatory disease rheumatism. Due to the high prevalence of rheumatism and the large size of the market, this section of immune diseases is treated as a separate market. Both steroidal and non-steroidal anti-rheumatics are included. Disease-modifying rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), such as tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (a type of biologic DMARD), are particularly important in terms of commerciality.
What's included?
For the past years, Anti-Rheumatic Drugs has been the second largest section of the Pharmaceuticals market. While most patients are treated with painkillers and cheaper anti-inflammatory drugs, the overall revenue is dominated by expensive drugs that are taken by only a fraction of affected patients. The market size is projected to decrease because of biosimilar competition for the market-leading product Humira by AbbVie.
