Multiple Sclerosis Drugs Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, Consumption, Revenue, Company Analysis and Forecast 2020-2027

According to Vision Research Reports, the multiple sclerosis drugs market size is projected to surpass around US$ 33 billion by 2027.

In terms of revenue, the multiple sclerosis drugs market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period 2020 to 2027.

Rise in prevalence and incidence of multiple sclerosis, rapid increase in the geriatric population leading a surge in cases of multiple sclerosis, and increase in awareness about multiple sclerosis are the major factors fueling the growth of the multiple sclerosis drugs market.

Multiple sclerosis is a central nervous system disorder. It is a potentially disabling disease of the spinal cord and brain. In multiple sclerosis, the immune system attacks the myelin (protective sheath) that shields nerve fibers, which causes communication issues between the brain and the rest of the body. Multiple sclerosis can cause permanent deterioration or damage to the nerves. The cause of multiple sclerosis is still unknown. Researchers believe that genetic and environmental factors contribute to the risk of developing multiple sclerosis.

New Multiple Sclerosis Medication in Research Pipeline Promises Better Results

Although there is no known cure for multiple sclerosis, the adoption of new medications to slow down the progression of multiple sclerosis and manage symptoms is on the rise. In the current scenario, research and development is playing a key role in the development of new treatments. Traditionally, disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) are the main type of medication used to treat multiple sclerosis. Players operating in the multiple sclerosis drugs market are focusing their efforts on gaining approval from the FDA for their newly developed drugs.

In recent times, the FDA has approved a range of disease-modifying therapies to treat different types of multiple sclerosis. Most recently, the FDA approved Fingolimod (Gilenya) to treat pediatric multiple sclerosis and glatiramer acetate injections (Glatopa). While new treatments and medications are receiving FDA approval, several other multiple sclerosis drugs are in the research pipeline and expected to enter the multiple sclerosis drugs market during the forecast period. For instance, a relatively recent phase III clinical trial revealed that siponimod, a potential multiple sclerosis drug, could reduce the relapse rate among individuals suffering from secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. Similarly, the findings from a recent phase II clinical trial suggested that ibudilast could potentially hamper the progression of disability in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Despite the onset of new oral medications, injectable multiple sclerosis drugs are expected to have a higher demand during the forecast period. Thus, in terms of route of administration, the parenteral segment of the multiple sclerosis drugs market is expected to reach a market value of US$ 12.7 Bn in 2020 and hold a market share of 63% in the same year.

Use of Monoclonal Antibodies for Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis

In terms of drug class, the multiple sclerosis drugs market has been segmented into interferon beta, sphingosine 1 phosphate receptor modulators, mixed polymers, NF-κB inhibitor, pyrimidine synthesis inhibitor, monoclonal antibodies, corticosteroids, adrenocorticotropic hormone, and others. The interferon beta segment accounted for a major share of the multiple sclerosis drugs market in 2019. Interferon beta is a cytokine in the interferon family that is used to treat multiple sclerosis. Interferons are proteins produced by the human body. Interferon beta drugs include Avonex, Betaseron, Extavia, Rebif, and Plegridy. However, the monoclonal antibodies segment is expected to dominate the multiple sclerosis drugs market during the forecast period. Dominance of the segment can be attributed to the launch of new monoclonal antibody products for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, including Ofatumumab and Ublituximab, during the forecast period.

High Prevalence of Relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS)

In terms disease type, the multiple sclerosis drugs market has been segmented into relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), primary-progressive MS (PPMS), secondary-progressive MS (SPMS), and progressive-relapsing MS (PRMS). The segment is expected to dominate the global market during the forecast period, due to large patient pool with RRMS. About 75% to 85% of population suffering from MS have relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS).

Preference for Parenteral Route of Administration for Drugs

In terms of route of administration, the multiple sclerosis drugs market has been bifurcated into parenteral and oral. The parenteral segment dominated the multiple sclerosis drugs market in terms of share in 2019. The segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. More than 60% of multiple sclerosis drugs are in injectable form. Moreover, launch of injectable drugs, such as Ocrevus, Cladribine, and Ofatumumab, and increase in usage of these drugs for the treatment of multiple sclerosis are likely to drive the segment during the forecast period.

Retail Pharmacies & Drug Stores to be Preferred Distribution Channel

Based on distribution channel, the multiple sclerosis drugs market has been categorized into hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies & drug stores, and online pharmacies. The retail pharmacies & drug stores segment is projected to constitute significant share of the multiple sclerosis drugs market by 2027. Large share of the segment can be attributed to easy availability of multiple sclerosis drugs at retail pharmacy stores and large number of retail pharmacy stores in the U.S., Europe, and developing countries. Increase in the number of retail pharmacy store chains in developing as well as developed countries is anticipated fuel the growth of the segment during the forecast period.

Prominent Regions

North America to Create High Incremental Opportunity

In terms of revenue, North America is projected to dominate the multiple sclerosis drugs market from 2020 to 2027. This can be ascribed to higher sales of multiple sclerosis drugs in countries such as the U.S. and Canada. Moreover, rise in prevalence of multiple sclerosis in the region and favorable medical reimbursement policies in the U.S. and Canada drive the market in North America. However, the multiple sclerosis drugs market in Asia Pacific is expected to expand at a relatively high CAGR during the forecast period. The multiple sclerosis drugs market in Asia Pacific is driven by a large pool of patients with multiple sclerosis in China and Japan, approval and launch of new products, and rise in investments by leading players in the region in therapeutic drugs for multiple sclerosis disease.

New product launches in China and Japan and rigorous marketing campaigns adopted by leading players in order to gain competitive advantage are anticipated to augment the market in Asia Pacific during the forecast period. However, patent expiry of top branded drugs in Japan is expected to hamper the growth of the market in the country from 2020 to 2020.

Strategic Collaborations, Investments, and Launch of New Products to Drive Market

The report provides profiles of leading players operating in the multiple sclerosis drugs market. Bayer AG, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Novartis AG, Sanofi, F.

These players have adopted strategies such as strategic collaborations, launch of new products, and investments to increase share and presence in the multiple sclerosis drugs market.

  • For instance, in June 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted Celgene’s New Drug Application (NDA) for ozanimod for the treatment of people with relapsing form of multiple sclerosis (RMS) in the U.S.
  • Additionally, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) accepted Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) of ozanimod for the treatment of adults with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) in the European Union
  • In January 2019, Biogen, Inc. and Skyhawk Therapeutics, Inc. entered into a strategic collaboration. According to the terms of the agreement, the companies will leverage Skyhawk Therapeutics’ SkySTAR technology platform for the development of innovative small molecule treatments for neurological diseases including multiple sclerosis and spinal muscular atrophy.
