Ankylosing Spondylitis Market: By Drug Class Type (NSAIDs, TNF inhibitors, and Others), By Distribution Channel (Hospital Pharmacy, Retail pharmacy, and Online pharmacy), and Geography 

Ankylosing Spondylitis Market size was valued at USD 5,460.5 million in 2022 which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% over 2023-2029. Ankylosing Spondylitis is a type of arthritis that affects the spine producing long-lasting inflammation of the shoulder, spine, and hip joints. As spondylitis advances between the spine and ribs joint, it ultimately limits chest movement making it hard to breathe suitably. Advanced stages of ankylosing spondylitis cause fractures of the vertebrae. The symptoms include pain in the chest, sensitivity at the pelvis base, tiredness, swelling, and pain in a toe or finger which is usually seen in the age group of 17 to 45 years or late adolescence. Presently, there is no precise treatment for ankylosing spondylitis, but some of medications and cures can relieve the symptoms and help in pain management. The rising prevalence can lead to the ankylosing spondylitis market growth. Moreover, the presence of biologics testing in the market and growing options for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis are some primary factors that can boost the global ankylosing spondylitis market. Apart from these, increasing awareness among people about new diagnostic approaches can also accelerate the market in the future. Increasing public and private funding for the enhancement of healthcare sectors and strong drugs in the pipeline can also drive the global market further. However, some factors such as the absence of active drugs for the treatment, and the lack of skilled professionals in low-middle-income developing countries can restrain the ankylosing spondylitis market growth. Companies should focus on reimbursement policies for ankylosing spondylitis that can create an opportunity for the ankylosing spondylitis market share.
