Overview:

The Arthritis Foundation defines psoriatic arthritis as an autoimmune inflammatory disease which primarily affects the skin. Majorly 30% of the patients suffering with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis during the later stages of the disease. Psoriatic arthritis affects men and women equally with the global prevalence rate of 6 per 100,000 people. It is a heterogeneous disease and categorized into 5 subtypes, namely, symmetric psoriatic arthritis, asymmetric psoriatic arthritis, distal psoriatic arthritis, spondylitis, and arthritis mutilans. The factors driving the psoriatic arthritis treatment market are rising public health awareness regarding skin diseases, early disease diagnosis, and recent development of interleukin-17 inhibitors. The occurrence is high in the Caucasian populations of North America and Europe followed by Asia Pacific.

According to the International Federation of Psoriasis Associations (IFPA) 2016 statistics, around 125 million people throughout the globe are suffering with psoriatic arthritis. The diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis is complex due to the presence of symptoms in patients such as tendinitis, inflammatory spinal pain, or dactylitis, which are most often misunderstood as arthritis. Currently, the drugs prescribed for psoriatic arthritis are based on the severity of the disease such as mild, moderate, or severe psoriatic arthritis. The development of Interleukin-17 inhibitors such as secukinumab, ixekizumab and brodalumab have a better drug safety and efficacy for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis. ABT-494 (Abbvie, Inc.) and Aprelimast (Celgene Corporation) and Certolizumab Pegol (UCB BIOSCIENCES GmbH) are being developed as targeted therapies and are set to launch during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026 and capitalize the psoriatic arthritis treatment market.
