The gout therapeutics market size is expected to reach USD 6.15 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report "Gout Therapeutics Market Size, Share, Trend, Industry Analysis Report By Disease Condition (Acute Gout, Chronic Gout), By Drug Class, By Distribution Channel, By Region - Market Forecast, 2025-2034" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The gout therapeutics market addresses the clinical need for managing hyperuricemia and recurrent inflammatory arthritis resulting from monosodium urate crystal deposition. Treatment involves both acute management and long-term urate-lowering strategies to prevent flares and joint damage. Market growth is being driven by increasing disease burden, driven in part by rising obesity rates, sedentary lifestyles, and associated metabolic conditions such as hypertension and chronic kidney disease. Accelerated diagnostic timelines and increased awareness among both patients and healthcare providers are leading to earlier treatment initiation, expanding the patient pool for therapeutic intervention.
Industry players are investing in targeted therapies that minimize adverse events while offering improved efficacy, particularly for patients unresponsive to conventional treatment. Trends such as biologic innovation, precision medicine approaches, and focus on comorbidity-friendly formulations are gaining traction. Opportunities are emerging through pipeline expansion in urate transport modulation and interleukin-1B inhibition. Regulatory bodies are providing fast-track pathways for breakthrough therapies, encouraging R&D investments. Companies are forming strategic collaborations to co-develop and commercialize novel agents, leveraging shared expertise and regional market access. The market is also witnessing a shift toward patient-centric care models, incorporating treatment adherence tools and digital health integration.
By drug class, the NSAIDs segment dominated the market with ~43% of the revenue share in 2024 due to their rapid action in reducing inflammation and pain associated with acute gout flares.
Based on disease condition, the chronic gout segment held the largest revenue share in 2024 due to growing demand for long-term management therapies.
North America accounted for ~50% of the gout therapeutics market revenue share in 2024 due to strong healthcare infrastructure, early diagnosis, and widespread access to specialized rheumatology care.
The market in Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR from 2025 to 2034 due to growing awareness about gout treatment, improving healthcare access, and the rising prevalence of lifestyle diseases contributing to hyperuricemia.
A few global key players include Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; AstraZeneca; GSK plc.; Eisai Co., Ltd.; Merck & Co., Inc.; Novartis AG; Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc.; Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited; Teijin Pharma Ltd.; and Zydus Group.
