Anti-inflammatory Drugs Market - By Drug Class (Anti-inflammatory Biologics, Corticosteroids), Treatment (Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis) Route of Administration (Oral, Topical), Sales Channel (Prescription, Over-the-Counter) & Forecast 2023 - 2032

Anti-inflammatory Drugs Market Size

Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Market size accounted for USD 104 billion in 2022 and is estimated to grow at 8.4% to reach USD 233.6 billion by 2032 due to increasing prevalence of inflammatory diseases coupled with growing geriatric population.
 

Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Market

For instance, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) report, around 14 million people had rheumatoid arthritis globally in 2021. Similarly. in 2020, according to Gastroenterology Journal, the prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease among elderly individuals appears to be rising by 5.2% annually.
 

Anti-inflammatory drugs, also known as anti-inflammatories or anti-inflammatory agents, are a class of medications that help reduce inflammation in the body. Anti-inflammatory drugs work by inhibiting, reducing the production and activity of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins, cytokines, and leukotrienes. These drugs provide relief from symptoms and help manage inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and other chronic diseases. While these drugs can be effective, it is important to use them under the guidance of a healthcare professional due to potential side effects.
 

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted slightly negative on the anti-inflammatory drugs market gains. During the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, various anti-inflammatory drugs, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), were used to manage fever, pain and inflammation associated with COVID-19 symptoms. However, concerns were raised regarding the potential negative effects of NSAIDs on COVID-19 outcomes. These concerns stemmed from the fact that NSAIDs may potentially worsen the immune response and increase the risk of complications.
 

For instance, the French Health Minister reported that, NSAIDs may be detrimental to patients with COVID-19 due to upregulation of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2 expression, which, in turn, may facilitate viral entry into host cells and enhance pathogenicity of the viral load. This concern was also reported in the British Medical Journal, and despite a lack of evidence to confirm such risk, there was a significant reduction in NSAID use at a time when they could have benefitted those infected with COVID-19.
 

Anti-inflammatory Drugs Market Trends

Increasing prevalence of autoimmune disease and respiratory conditions have significantly created the demand for anti-inflammatory drugs. Autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis are on the rise globally. Various factors such as genetic predisposition, exposure to certain chemicals, hormonal imbalances, smoking, sedentary lifestyle significantly contributes to the autoimmune disease and respiratory conditions.
 

Therefore, adoption of anti-inflammatory drugs will help suppress the excessive immune response, reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms. Similarly in respiratory conditions such as asthma and COPD, anti-inflammatory drugs help decrease airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction and mucus production, resulting in improved lung function and symptom control.
 

Anti-inflammatory Drugs Market Restraint

Side effects associated with the use of anti-inflammatory drugs may significantly impede the market expansion. Major side effects associated with the use of anti-inflammatory medications include gastrointestinal issues such as stomach ulcers, indigestion and gastrointestinal bleeding. Similarly, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids can also increase the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and stroke and weight gain, mood change, increase in blood pressure among others respectively.
