Autoimmune Disease Therapeutics Market to Gain from Increased Acceptance of Biologics by Physicians - European Autoimmune Diseases Therapeutics Markets.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c49960) announces the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report European Autoimmune Diseases Autoimmune diseases

Market Overview

Autoimmune Disease Therapeutics Market to Gain from Increased Acceptance of Biologics by Physicians

The European autoimmune diseases therapeutics market is set to witness sustained growth in the coming years. Autoimmune diseases are caused by body's immune responses immune response

 is designed to attack the infections caused by foreign bacteria and viruses. However, in an autoimmune disease, the immune cells in the body recognise the body's own tissues as 'foreign' and the antibodies released by the immune cells act on various tissues in the body, leading to various disease conditions. There are over 70 autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis (MS) and psoriasis psoriasis (sôrī`əsĭs), occasionally acute but usually chronic and recurrent inflammation of the skin. The exact cause is unknown, but the disease appears to be an inherited, possibly autoimmune disorder that causes the . It has been estimated that the prevalence rate of multiple sclerosis in Europe is 83 out of 100,000. Moreover, it is more common among women than men. In addition to this, two million people in Europe are affected by RA, which is one of the most common forms of autoimmune diseases, affecting 21 million people worldwide. However, the societal burden of autoimmune diseases is difficult to estimate as most of these diseases are debilitating de·bil·i·tat·ing

"The growing patient population and the need for better treatment options are the major driving forces in the autoimmune diseases therapeutics market in Europe," notes the analyst of this research service. "The increased uptake of biologics by physicians is also likely to have a significant impact on the sales of autoimmune disease therapeutics." In addition, aggressive educational campaigns undertaken by pharmaceutical companies to promote new biologics are igniting interest among physicians and are expected to contribute to an increase in market revenues.

"The complex nature of autoimmune diseases hinders the development of drugs that can cure these diseases," explains the analyst. "This scenario is worsened by low awareness of autoimmune diseases among patients, as well as physicians." Thus, immense scope exists for improvement in translating the current knowledge of the autoimmune diseases to produce efficient therapeutics that can address the symptoms, as well as cure the disease." Accordingly, researchers are striving to develop better therapeutics to reduce the burden of autoimmune diseases.

Meanwhile, various continuous medical education programmes will need to be conducted to inform the community about the implications of autoimmune diseases. These initiatives will promote the treatment of those affected with rheumatoid arthritis or multiple sclerosis and some form of drug for such autoimmune diseases can be administered to them.
