Immunosuppressive Drugs Market Research Report Information By Drug Type (Calcineurin Inhibitors, Corticosteroids, Antiproliferative Agents, mTOR Inhibitors, Others), Route of Administration (Intravenous, Oral, Others), Application (Autoimmune Disease, Organ Transplant, Kidney Transplant, Heart Transplant, Others) and End User (Hospitals and Clinics, Organ Transplant Centers, Others)-Forecast to 2032.

Immunosuppressive Drugs Market Overview

The immunosuppressive drugs market size is estimated to reach USD 9.98 billion by 2032 at 7.5% CAGR during the forecast period 2023-2032. The market of immunosuppressive drugs is a rapidly growing market. These drugs are used for treating autoimmune disorders and for preventing the rejection of transplanted organs. Any organ transplantation will not be successful without these drugs. Therefore, these drugs play a vital role in the medical world.

Immunosuppressive drugs are also used for the treatment of autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, etc. These drugs are also known as anti-rejection drugs as they prevent the rejection of transplanted organs by our body.  

The Lifestyle change and increasing obesity rate is making us prone to various disorders. The cases of organ failure are all increasing every day. Statistics reveal that only for kidneys a million transplantations are performed worldwide each year. The numbers will shoot up if all Transplantations are counted. Therefore, immunosuppressive drugs have a good market hold.

Memo Therapeutics, a biotech company based in Switzerland, has completed a Series C financing round valued at $27.67 million (SFr 25 million) in November 2023. The biotech company has announced that the proceeds will be used to finance a Phase II trial that will investigate its candidate, AntiBKV. Pureos Bioventures, a Swiss venture capital (VC) company, led the round, with existing investors such as Swisscanto, Vesalius Biocapital, and Adjuvant Capital also participating. Memo's Phase II trial, which is investigating a treatment for BK polyomavirus (BKV) infection in kidney transplant recipients, will be completed with the funds raised in the round, according to a press release issued on November 2. 2024 is the anticipated year for the trial's data. BKV is an opportunistic virus that can reactivate in patients post-transplant as a result of the immunosuppressive drug regimen. Memo reports that it is activated in 40% to 50% of kidney transplant recipients, with 10% of these cases resulting in BKV-associated nephropathy. Consequently, the virus has the potential to significantly reduce the survival rates of renal transplant grafts. At present, there are no FDA-approved treatments for BKV infection; therefore, the standard treatment is to decrease the dosage of immunosuppressive medications.

Arch 2024: TRACT Therapeutics and Taiwan Bio Therapeutics are delighted to announce a poster presentation at the 2024 annual meeting of the American Transplant Congress (ATC), which will be held in Philadelphia, PA from June 1-5, 2024. TRACT Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company, and Taiwan Bio Therapeutics, a world-class expert in cell therapy manufacturing, established a strategic partnership in November 2023 to advance a novel regulatory T cell (Treg) therapy approach to preventing rejection in solid organ transplants. The companies will collaborate to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial that will examine the potential of Treg therapy to decrease the necessity for immunosuppressant medications in living donor kidney transplant recipients. The research institutions will be situated in Taiwan and the United States. The ATC offers a dynamic platform for professionals to exchange insights on their work and experiences in the field of transplantation medicine, which is a pressing need. This platform is designed to develop more effective treatments for patients confronting an organ transplant. The regulatory T cell therapy developed by TRACT has the potential to significantly alter treatment paradigms, thereby enhancing the quality of life and patient outcomes.

Covid 19 Analysis of Immunosuppressive Drugs Market

The covid pandemic had a strong impact on the market of immunosuppressive drugs. Hospitals and diagnostic centers were overburdened with covid cases. So, the demand for immunosuppressive drugs fell with fewer patients reaching for treatment.

The restrictions imposed for curbing covid spread disrupted the supply chains. Moreover, urgent demand for antiviral drugs made pharmaceutical companies make changes in their production rate. Thereby, causing the growth rate to deviate from the previous rate. However, the market is quickly picking up its growth rate after the relaxation of restrictions in different regions. 

Immunosuppressive Drugs Market Dynamics

Drivers

The rising prevalence of autoimmune diseases is the major growth-promoting factor. According to a report of the National stem cell foundation, more than 4% of the global population suffers from autoimmune diseases.

Immunosuppressive drugs are a must for people who develop autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, etc.  These drugs have to be taken for a lifetime for such patients, so the market demand is never down. Moreover, these drugs are also necessary to make organ transplants successful. Hence with the increasing rate of transplantations, the valuation of the market is also increasing. 

Restraints

The collective effect of various factors is restricting the market growth of the immunosuppressive drugs. Among those factors, the side effects of these drugs are the major ones. Immunosuppressive drugs lower immunity, which may expose our bodies to other fatal diseases.

Moreover, these drugs have to pass through stringent rules and regulations in different countries to reach the customers. Hence, such rules are too hindering market growth. 

Technology Analysis

Immunosuppressive drugs are chemicals that prevent the rejection of transplants by our system by suppressing the immune response. These drugs are also a treatment for autoimmune disorders, where our immune system begins to attack our healthy cells.  For example diseases like Rheumatoid arthritis, Multiple sclerosis, Type 1 diabetes mellitus, Graves' disease, etc.

Immunosuppressive drugs are also important for the success of organ transplantations. These drugs are widely used by patients who undergo transplantation of kidney, liver, heart, tissues, etc. These drugs act by overcoming our immune response to protect the foreign grafts.

In the case of autoimmune disorders, our body assumes the cells in some regions to be foreign bodies and begins attacking them, to kill these cells. Therefore patients suffering from these diseases need to take immunosuppressants for a lifetime. In the case of organ transplantation too, our system tries to get rid of foreign cells by attacking them. The patients undergoing transplantation have to take these drugs till their body becomes normal with the new organs.
