Crohn's Disease Therapeutics Market Size and Competitive Analysis by 2031

[Research Report] The Crohn's disease therapeutics market was valued at US$ 9.68 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 13.33 billion by 2031. It is expected to register a CAGR of 4.1% in 2023–2031.

Market Insights and Analyst View:

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that primarily affects the gastrointestinal tract. It commonly affects the end part of the small intestine and the beginning of the large intestine. The disease is characterized by the inflammation of the digestive tract lining, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and malnutrition. The growing Crohn's disease therapeutics market size is attributed to the increasing prevalence of diseases in Western countries, particularly the US. In addition, strategic initiatives by companies to stay competitive in the market are fueling market growth. A significant increase in the usage of advanced medical devices is likely to bring new Crohn's disease therapeutics market trends during the forecast period.

Growth Drivers and Challenges:

Crohn's disease is an irritable bowel syndrome, a chronic inflammatory bowel disorder with no specific cure. The exact etiology of this disease is not known, but the condition is mainly the result of an inappropriate immune response in the bowel to drugs, toxins, infections, and intestinal microbes, among other environmental factors, especially in a genetically susceptible host. According to National Library of Medicine, Crohn's disease (CD) is more common in developed countries in the West, especially in North American and northern European countries, and New Zealand. The disease onset is most common in individuals aged 15–30 years and 40–60 years, and it is more prominent in urban areas. The incidence of this disease is high in people from northern European countries and Jewish descent, i.e., 3.2/1,000. However, recent studies have shown a significant increase in incidence in Asia, Africa, and Australasia as well due to rapid industrialization in the region. Thus, the staggering prevalence of Crohn's disease in the respective region boosts the Crohn's disease therapeutics market.

According to National Institute of Health, Crohn's disease poses a significant economic burden with direct healthcare costs of approximately US$ 3,500 per patient per year in Europe. The disease affects approximately 322 people per 100,000. However, the prevalence rates may vary depending on countries to countries. More than 50% of patients with Crohn's disease may not be formally diagnosed, or they may show symptoms that are the same as those of other digestive tract diseases. Crohn's disease is more common in women as compared to men, i.e., it may affect three times more women than men.

Companies involved in drug development for irritable bowel syndrome are taking constructive steps to implement awareness programs with an aim to effectively cope with this syndrome by spreading awareness about symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments. In 2018, Allergan PLC and Ironwood, in collaboration, launched an Interactive Digital Destination platform to encourage sufferers to get educated and take action against digestive tract disorders. Thus, the rising prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome drives the Crohn's disease therapeutics market growth.
