Global Hyperuricemia Market - 2023-2030

Overview

Global Hyperuricemia Market reached US$ 1.6 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 3.4 billion by 2030, growing with a CAGR of 5.4 % during the forecast period 2023-2030.

When the bloodstream contains an excessive amount of uric acid, hyperuricemia occurs. Although it doesn't have any symptoms, it can induce diseases like gout or kidney stones. Purine, a substance found in a variety of meals, is broken down by the body to create uric acid as a byproduct.

The amount of uric acid in the blood can be decreased by consuming fewer purine-rich meals and beverages. The kidneys can once again filter uric acid out more efficiently because to this lowering. Compared to men, women have a substantially lower prevalence of hyperuricemia, with 1-2% of those under the age of 50 and about 3% of those over the age of 50.

Moreover, gout has been linked to cancer, psoriasis, atrial fibrillation, thromboembolism, COPD, and thromboembolism, according to recent studies. Due to its serious complications and significant impact on health-related quality of life, hyperuricemia and gout have come to prominence as a public health concern. The prevalence of hyperuricemia has risen significantly as a result of rapid economic development and lifestyle changes.

Dynamics

Increasing the Product Approvals and Clinical trails

Novel objectives and paths for intervention have been found as a result of ongoing study into the underlying causes of hyperuricemia and the molecular mechanisms of related disorders like gout. This makes it possible for newly created medications and treatments to become successful.

For instance, in January 2023, The US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) gave final approval to Zydus Lifesciences company to market Febuxostat tablets, 40 mg and 80 mg. The reference listed medicine Uloric pills are equivalent to the approved Febuxostat tablets, 40 mg and 80 mg. The purpose of febuxostat tablets is to reduce hyperuricemia (high levels of uric acid in the blood) in gout patients who have either undergone unsuccessful allopurinol treatment or are ineligible for allopurinol therapy.

Additionally, in June 2023, Topline data from the Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating dotinurad in healthy volunteers in the United States has been distributed by Urica Therapeutics, Inc., a Fortress Biotech, Inc. subsidiary company focused on the development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products to treat gout and other conditions associated with hyperuricemia. With no severe adverse effects reported at any dose level, dotinurad (a new urate transporter) was demonstrated to be safe and well tolerated. Thus, the expansion of clinical trials and product approvals fuels the market.

The Increasing Geriatric Population

The function of the kidneys can decrease as ageing population. Filtering and excreting uric acid from the body is a critical function of the kidneys. Reduced kidney function can result in less uric acid being excreted from the body, which causes uric acid levels in the blood to rise and is a sign of hyperuricemia.

Aged persons may encounter changes in their dietary preferences and levels of physical activity. With aging, unhealthy eating patterns like drinking excessive alcohol or purine-rich meals become more prevalent. These elements may be responsible for higher uric acid levels in aged people.

Thus, the aging population is growing, which also contributes to the market's rapid expansion. For instance, according to Eurostat, the EU population in January 2022, was estimated to be 446.7 million, out of which 21.1% were Older individuals aged 65 or over indicating an increase of 0.3 percentage points (pp) to the previous year and an increase of 3.1 pp compared with a decade earlier.

In addition, according to a new report by the United Nations (UN), the number of individuals aged 65 years or above globally is anticipated to increase two folds in the next 30 years. The geriatric population is expected to attain 1.6 billion in 2050, making up over 16% of the world population. By thus increasing the geriatric population will drive the market growth.

Lack of Awareness about Hyperuricemia Diagnosis

The risks to health linked to hyperuricemia may not be fully recognized by many people, including medical experts. This lack of knowledge may result in a delayed diagnosis and poor care. Furthermore, hyperuricemia is rarely detected during standard medical exams, especially in people without a known history of gout or other related disorders. Patients might not be aware of their increased uric acid levels without routine testing. Some medical professionals might not give individuals who don't have certain symptoms or risk factors for hyperuricemia testing priority. Missed chances for early detection and education may come from this. Thus, the previous factors hinder market expansion.

Segment Analysis

The global hyperuricemia market is segmented based on type, age group, drug type, route of administration, distribution channel and region.

Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors are Needed for Treatment

A class of drugs called Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors (XO Inhibitors) is used to treat hyperuricemia, a disorder indicated by high amounts of uric acid in the blood. Hyperuricemia can cause uric acid crystals to develop, which can subsequently build up in joints and cause painful inflammation that could eventually result in diseases like gout.

Targeting the xanthine oxidase enzyme, which is essential for the synthesis of uric acid, is how XO inhibitors function. The enzyme xanthine oxidase is in charge of turning the uric acid precursors hypoxanthine and xanthine into uric acid. The body produces less uric acid when this enzyme is inhibited, which lowers the total levels of uric acid in the circulation. XO Inhibitors work by blocking this enzyme. It has been demonstrated that XO inhibitors are efficient at reducing uric acid levels and treating the signs and symptoms of hyperuricemia and gout. They are well-researched drugs with a successful track record in therapeutic use. Thus, these mentioned factors aid in accelerating segment expansion.

Geographical Penetration

Prevalence of the Diseases in the North American Region

Due to factors such as an aging population, an increase in obesity cases, technological improvements, and company strategies, North America is anticipated to hold the majority of the market over the forecast period. For instance, insulin resistance, a disorder in which the body's cells cannot respond to insulin, a hormone that aids in blood sugar regulation, is frequently linked to obesity.

Increased blood insulin levels brought on by insulin resistance may impair the kidneys' capacity to eliminate uric acid. Uric acid levels may increase as a result. As a result, the market may grow faster in the area due to the rise in obesity. For instance, according to healthline media stated that, over 42% of American adults are thought to be obese, while 30.7% are thought to be overweight. Overweight or obese conditions affect more than two thirds of American people overall.

Ages 40 to 59 are when adults are most likely to be obese. In actuality, obesity affects more than 44% of adults in this age range. In the meantime, 41.5% of individuals over the age of 60 and 39.8% of adults between the ages of 20 and 39 are obese. Thus, all of those variables accelerate market expansion in the region.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Hyperuricemia and catabolism can both be increased by COVID-19. By altering renal autoregulation, preventing endothelial cells from proliferating, inducing cell death, triggering the pro-inflammatory cascade, and causing crystal deposition, uric acid (UA) has the potential to harm the kidneys. The epidemic has put a burden on healthcare resources, causing non-urgent medical appointments, such as routine check-ups and screenings, to be postponed or delayed. Missed chances to diagnose hyperuricemia could arise from this. Some people avoid going to medical facilities because of lockdowns, limitations, and fear of spreading the virus. This may make it more difficult for them to acquire normal medical treatment or have their hyperuricemia reviewed.
