Nearly 70% of the psoriasis patient population is prone to psoriatic arthritis, and up to 20% of arthritis patients are susceptible to acquire psoriasis, according to the recent findings of the Arthritis Foundation.

The rate of increasing burden of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis on healthcare industry has been boosting clinical research in the field of psoriatic arthritis, in recent years.

Sustained adoption of conventional disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), especially in cost sensitive regions, is projected to push the demand for psoriatic arthritis treatment in coming years.

Role of Strong Product Pipeline & Mounting Clinical Research Investments

Over 20 drugs for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are currently in the phase II of pipeline, whereas more than 28 are in phase III of clinical trial, as indicated by the National Psoriasis Foundation. However, around 24 drugs have already received FDA approval for inclusion in the treatment for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

While such a strong product pipeline continues to drive the demand for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis treatment, a new research points to the shifting focus of several drug manufacturers to competitive pricing strategies, in an effort to attain widespread acceptance in coming years. Recently, Future Market Insights released a new intelligence based on the analysis of global psoriatic arthritis treatment market. The study forecasts a robust over-7% yearly growth for the market in 2019.
