According to the deep-dive market assessment study by Growth Plus Reports, the global scleroderma therapeutics market was valued at US$ 1.98 billion in 2021 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 5.9% to reach US$ 3.31 billion by 2030.
Market Fundamentals
Scleroderma is a chronic, although rare, autoimmune disease in which normal tissue is replaced with dense, thick fibrous tissue. Normally, the immune system helps defend the body against disease and infection. In scleroderma patients, the immune system triggers other cells to produce excessive collagen. This extra collagen is deposited in the skin and organs, which causes hardening and thickening. Scleroderma can affect the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, muscles, joints, and skin. However, it typically just affects the skin. In its most extreme manifestations, scleroderma may pose a serious risk to life. Currently, there is no cure for scleroderma. Thus, the treatment focus is on managing and reducing the symptoms. Since scleroderma can present with a wide range of symptoms, a variety of strategies are frequently required to treat and control the condition properly.

Market Dynamics
The rising prevalence of scleroderma with increased genetic mutation rate is the major driving factor of the scleroderma therapeutics market. The rise in the R&D in the field of scleroderma to develope novel drugs is also playing a significant role in the growth of the scleroderma therapeutics market. Moreover, there is a promising product pipeline with the availability of a good regulatory framework. Additionally, the increasing awareness regarding scleroderma, rise in the overall healthcare expenditure as well as scleroderma require regular medication for a long period of time thus propelling the growth of the scleroderma therapeutics market. Furthermore, the change in environmental factors is also trigging scleroderma in some patients thus, it is expected to boost the growth of the scleroderma therapeutics market. However, the side effects related to the management drugs and the high cost of diagnosing scleroderma are the main factors restricting the growth of the scleroderma therapeutic market. Moreover, the continuous failure of clinical trials and lack of awareness in the developing countries are also hindering market growth.
Market Ecosystem
The global scleroderma therapeutics market has been analyzed from three perspectives: Drug Class, Indication, and Region.
Scleroderma Therapeutics Market by Drug Class
[85675]
Based on drug class, the global scleroderma therapeutics market is segmented into endothelin receptor antagonists, prostacyclin analogues, immunosuppressors, phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors – PHA, calcium channel blockers, analgesics, and others. The immunosuppressors segment dominates the global scleroderma therapeutics market with the largest market share in 2021. The immunosuppressors hold a significant share of the market as it is the first line of medications to manage scleroderma. Currently, there is no curative medication for scleroderma due to its rarity. Thus immunosuppressants are used as they prevent the immune response and manage the symptoms of scleroderma. Moreover, several clinical trials are processed to study the effect of immunosuppressant in scleroderma, which propels the growth of the segment. Additionally, the major players are heavily investing in R&D to develop novel drugs for scleroderma using biologics immunosuppressants, which is also expected to fuel the segment's growth.
Scleroderma Therapeutics Market by Indication
Based on Indication, the global scleroderma therapeutics market is segmented systemic scleroderma, and localized scleroderma.
The systemic scleroderma segment hold the largest share of the scleroderma therapeutics market in 2021. The systemic scleroderma segment is further sub-segmented into limited scleroderma, and diffuse scleroderma. The large share of the segment is largely attribute to the rising prevalence of systemic scleroderma. According to the National Organization for Rare Disorders, systemic scleroderma affects around 38 and 341 individuals per million throughout the world. Systemic scleroderma affects the internal organs, and thus is often detected at late stages. Therefore, the demand for the early diagnosis and treatment of systemic scleroderma has been increasing, which is boosting segment revenue growth. Moreover, the high cost of the immunosuppressants used for the treatment of systemic scleroderma is also supporting the market growth. Additionally, the growing geriatric population as systemic scleroderma most often starts at old age, and thus the requirement for more intensive and rigorous treatment is observed in such patients.
Scleroderma Therapeutics Market by Region
Based on region, the global scleroderma therapeutics market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World.
North America dominated the global scleroderma therapeutics market in 2021, followed by Europe. The large revenue share of North America is attributed to the rising cases of scleroderma. According to National Scleroderma Foundation, around 300,000 people are affected with scleroderma in the U.S. Moreover, the well-developed healthcare infrastructure with high healthcare expenditure also facilitates greater uptake of scleroderma drugs in the region. Furthermore, the rise in the R&D in the region with the investments from government organizations for the development of novel drugs is also propelling the regional mraket growth. Similarly, the presence of the top companies in the region is also anticipated to drive the North America scleroderma therapeutics market.
In Europe, approximately 200,000 individuals suffer from scleroderma. Furthermore, the disease is more prevalent in certain European countries, such as the U.K., where the estimated cases of scleroderma are 20 per million individuals. The demand for scleroderma therapeutics is significantly high in the European market, due to the high prevalence of disease, high healthcare expenditure, and rapid approval of different therapeutics. The uptake of biologic drugs is also significantly high in Europe's scleroderma market, supported by favorable reimbursements.
Asia Pacific market is anticipated to grow at the fastest revenue CAGR during the forecast period. The factors driving the Asia Pacific scleroderma therapeutics market include rapidly increasing healthcare expenditure, a growing pool of scleroderma patients, and increasing awareness about scleroderma among patients and healthcare providers. It is estimated that currently, there are approximately 150,000 scleroderma patients in Asia Pacific. The key players operating in the Asia Pacific scleroderma market are Sanofi, Boehringer Ingelheim and Pfizer, offering scleroderma management drugs such as vasodilators and immunosuppressors. The demand for generic drugs is significantly high in Asia Pacific; however, traction for biologic agents is recently observed.
Competitive Landscape
Some of the prominent players operating in the global scleroderma therapeutics market are:
Tracleer, a drug from Actelion Pharmaceuticals is among the most commonly prescribed for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension, a common complication of scleroderma. Similarly, Ofev from Boehringer Ingelheim is also used for treating pulmonary fibrosis arising from scleroderma. Bosulif from Pfizer is currently used in some types of leukemia, has shown promising prospects in the treatment of scleroderma. Rituxan from Pfizer is used as an off-label treatment for scleroderma.
Along with the major multinationals, there are also several small players and academic institutions developing novel treatments for scleroderma. One such is Corbus Pharmaceuticals. The company is developing lenabasum, a synthetic cannabinoid that reduces the inflammation and fibrosis manifested from scleroderma. In conclusion, the global scleroderma therapeutics market is highly competitive, with a limited number of market incumbents and several companies intensifying their efforts to come up with novel treatments.
Strategic Developments
The rise in the prevalence of scleroderma with the rise in the R&D to develop a novel drug for scleroderma. Moreover, a strong product pipeline is also boosting market growth.
