Celiac Disease Drugs Market Dynamics

The global celiac disease drugs market growth is driven by the increasing prevalence of  celiac diseases population. In addition, strong research and development activities to bring newer treatment are some of the impacting factors that drives the market growth. Moreover, special designation such as orphan drug designation and fast track designation are considered a positive indicator for rise in market growth.

Initiatives by the governments will drive the growth of the market

Governments of different countries such as the U.K., Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Argentina and the European Union are expected to accelerative initiatives for the treatment of celiac disease. These governments could provide a strong boost to the global celiac disease drugs market while riding on therapeutics offered at subsidized prices, increasing awareness among the people, and funds offered to research and development activities. Canada and Argentina are predicted to impose labeling restrictions on gluten-rich packaged foods and also those free of gluten to keep the spread of celiac disease at bay. Initiatives such as the National Program for the Detection and Control of Celiac Disease by Argentina are anticipated to be a good step taken to counter the disease.

The rise in demand from millennials, increase in the incidence of celiac disease  

It  is hard to maintain 100% gluten-free diet and accidental gluten cross-contamination cannot be avoided, so researchers such as ImmunogenX are focused on finding alternative therapies and possibly even a cure for the disorder. Major pipeline molecules include bl-7010 (binds gluten so it is not absorbed), larazotide acetate (interrupt the immediate or delayed effects of gluten on the cells lining the intestine), and vedolizumab (interrupt the immune reactions). Rise in demand from millennial, rise in research and development expenditure, and growth in awareness about celiac disease are factors fuelling the growth of the celiac disease market.

The high cost of a gluten-free diet is likely to hinder the market growth

However, high cost of gluten-free diet, lack of confidence of pipeline molecules, and the frequency of the disease being undiagnosed or misdiagnosed as an allergy are restraining the celiac disease market growth. Many low-income earning people can not afford these diets. Also, many underdeveloped areas do have not the proper infrastructure to process the gluten-free diet.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis on Celiac Disease Drugs Market

To date, there have been no studies or reports suggesting patients with celiac disease are at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19 compared to patients without celiac disease. The Celiac Disease Foundation Medical Advisory Board states that celiac disease patients in general are not considered to be immunocompromised. A small proportion of celiac disease patients with severe malnutrition and weight loss, the rare complication of Type 2 refractory celiac disease, on immunosuppressive medications, or with other serious illnesses, may be at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19 and should consult with their physicians.

The Celiac Disease Foundation Medical Advisory Board does not consider occasional gluten exposure from cross-contact to put a patient with celiac disease at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19, but cautions that patients should adhere to a strict, gluten-free diet for overall health. The pandemic will not effect the market in the forecast period.

Celiac Disease Drugs Market Segmentation Analysis

The diarrhea segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period 2024-2031  

Diarrhea is a bowel movement (stool) that is loose and watery. It is one of the common, non-serious conditions and can be treated with over-the-counter medicines. Numerous people experience diarrhea once or twice a year. It is estimated that globally, approximately 2 billion cases of diarrheal diseases occur each year, and about 1.9 million children (below five years of age), mostly found in developing countries, die from diarrhea. All these factors are contributing and showing the impact of celiac disease.

In one small study, 79% of celiac patients reported experiencing diarrhea prior to treatment. Following treatment, just 17% of patients continued to have chronic diarrhea. Another study of 215 people noted that diarrhea was the most frequent symptom of untreated celiac disease. For many patients, diarrhea was reduced within a few days of treatment, but the average time to fully resolve symptoms was four weeks.

Decreased energy levels and fatigue are prevalent in those with celiac disease. One study of 51 celiac patients found that those who were untreated had significantly more severe fatigue and fatigue-related problems than those on a gluten-free diet. Another study found that those with celiac disease were more likely to have sleep disorders, which could contribute to fatigue. Additionally, untreated celiac disease can cause damage to the small intestine, resulting in vitamin and mineral deficiencies that may also lead to fatigue. These factors are driving the growth of the market in the forecast period.
