The axial spondyloarthritis (axspa) market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for axial spondyloarthritis (axspa) is predicted to witness significant expansion in the upcoming years, with an expected increase to $9.05 billion by 2029, at an 8.3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
This growth during the projected period can be credited to advancements such as improvement in biomarker identification, customized treatments, integration of digital health, widened treatment choices, and the backing of health policies. The major trends on the horizon during this forecast period include strategies for early intervention, patient-centered healthcare, the rise in telemedicine and remote consultations, research into disease mechanisms and a focus on shared decision-making.
The escalating occurrence of spondyloarthritis is predicted to fuel the expansion of the axial spondyloarthritis (axSpa) market. Spondyloarthritis is a lasting disease, primarily impacting the axial skeleton, such as the spine and sacroiliac joints. The surge in spondyloarthritis (axSpA) incidents can be linked to the growing older population and spinal damages due to even minor trip-ups or accidents. Diverse treatments are offered for pain relief, inflammation reduction, and improving the life quality of those suffering from axSpA. For example, the Musculoskeletal Health Report 2023 by Versus Arthritis, a UK charity committed to aiding people with arthritis, revealed in June 2023 that as of 2022, about 60,000 people were suffering from axial spondyloarthritis. Furthermore, each year, nearly 2,200 adults are newly diagnosed with this condition. As such, the growing occurrence of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpa) is stimulating the expansion of the axial spondyloarthritis (axSpa) market.
