Visiongain has launched a new pharma report Rheumatoid Arthritis Drugs Market Report: Biologics, Non-Biologics, NSAIDs, sDMARDs and Others.

Demand for RA drugs is on the rise, particularly in developing countries. The TNF inhibitors, which have dominated the market so successfully, are now coming to the end of their patents, opening the way for new biologics and biosimilars to compete for their share of the market. Following the launch of Xeljanz there are other oral DMARDs in development which could potentially undermine the role of the biologics. Changes in the next few years will be critical in determining the future treatment for RA.

The lead analyst of the report commented "Another factor driving the growth in the market is the discovery of new molecules that are involved in the disease process, and hence, new strategies for treating the disease. Molecules such as TNFα, interleukin 6, interleukin 1, and janus kinase have all enabled the development of new treatments to target these molecules. As more molecules are identified, and as more is understood about the disease, this will allow new treatments to be explored, and new drugs to be marketed."

Leading companies featured in the report include AbbVie, Amgen, AstraZeneca, BMS, Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson, Merck & Co, Novartis, Pfizer, Roche, Sanofi, UCB
