The pipeline candidate is called PF1801 and it is anticipated to boost the market growth.

“Emergence of Modern Therapies to Drive the Market Worldwide”

The emergence of new modern therapies and the increasing demand for more effective therapeutics are two of the significant factors driving the market growth. While the earlier and mainstay treatment were restricted to glucocorticoids and a range of immunosuppressants up to an extent, new therapeutic options have emerged for the treatment of a range of myositis. The need for modern therapies were especially apprehended during the treatment of the difficult-to-treat cases of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, such as refractory cases of the disorder. This has led to the development of a huge unmet need for treatment in the market and it is anticipated to be one of the other key driving factors of the market growth.

SEGMENTATION

By Disease Type Analysis

“Polymyositis (PM) Segment to Grow Rapidly Owing to Rising Prevalence of This Myopathy”

On the basis of disease type, the market can be segmented into dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), inclusion body myositis (IBM), necrotizing autoimmune myopathy (NAM), and others.

The polymyositis (PM) segment is estimated to hold a dominant idiopathic inflammatory myopathy treatment market share, especially owing to their status as the high occurring form of myositis and its ability to cause disability in individuals who do not seek timely medical intervention. This segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR on account of the presence of high prevalence of this form of myopathy and its presence in a number of clinical pipeline of key market players.
