Hydroxychloroquine Drugs Market is expected to cross US$ 1.9 Bn by 2030

Can Hydroxychloroquine Contain Spread of COVID-19 in Patients?

The anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine has shot to fame, owing to its efficacy in shortening the time taken for recovery from COVID-19. Fewer side effects associated with these medicines are encouraging manufacturers in the hydroxychloroquine drugs market to boost their output capacities. Over-the-counter distribution and inexpensive nature of hydroxychloroquine are being preferred by caretakers in home quarantine environments. However, these drugs are under scrutiny for lab-controlled testing, since there is lack of evidence about human trails.

It has been found that hydroxychloroquine alone or in combination with azithromycin can reduce virus levels quicker. Such findings have prompted drug regulators in several countries, including India to approve the drug in restricted settings. Hydroxychloroquine is found to trigger a hyperactive response by the immune system, which helps to minimize the symptoms. These factors are likely to drive the hydroxychloroquine drugs market during the forecast period.

High Prevalence of Childhood Arthritis Cases and Autoimmune Diseases Triggers Market Growth

The hydroxychloroquine drugs market is predicted to clock a robust CAGR of 10% during the forecast period. Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) is considered as a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug. The high prevalence of joint pain and long-term disability in individuals has catalyzed the demand for hydroxychloroquine drugs. Plaquenil is being highly publicized for effectively reducing pain and swelling of arthritis.

An alarmingly high number of childhood arthritis cases and other autoimmune diseases are acting as key drivers for the hydroxychloroquine drugs market. However, the drug may lead to severe hypoglycemia. Thus, diabetic patients are advised to regularly monitor their blood sugar levels. On the other hand, it has been found that hydroxychloroquine is not effective against malaria in areas where chloroquine resistance has been reported. Hence, pharma companies are advocating a better understanding of poor quality drugs on malaria control.

Pooled Analysis of Hydroxychloroquine Provides Drug Resistance Status

Hydroxychloroquine drugs are the gold standard for the treatment of malaria. However, in many cases, healthcare professionals have encountered drug resistance in patients, which is likely to affect the growth of the hydroxychloroquine drugs market. Poorly administered medicines and substandard treatments are affecting the sales of hydroxychloroquine drugs. Hence, manufacturers in the hydroxychloroquine drugs market are taking ques from the WorldWide Antimalarial Resistance Network (WWARN), which is facilitating study groups that generate a pooled analysis of the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine drugs.

Freely available training courses, tools and resources are being employed to provide regional researchers with the knowledge and skills to generate high-quality antimalarial clinical data. As such, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval for hydroxychloroquine is being highly preferred for rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosis treatment.

Decreased Disease Flares to Offset Disadvantages of Toxicity

The global hydroxychloroquine drugs market is expected to cross US$ 1.9 Bn by 2030, as manufacturers are increasing their output capacities that cater to the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus. Research into the wide-ranging effects of hydroxychloroquine reveals that several benefits involving decrease in disease flares and decline in the number of antigen-presenting cells in the skin are bolstering market growth.

The decline in the damage from disease over time and the hydroxychloroquine’s ability to delay absorption of ultraviolet light (UV) are helping pharma companies boost their production capacities. However, patients with retinal dystrophy or macular degeneration are susceptible to toxicity due to hydroxychloroquine administration. Hence, companies in the hydroxychloroquine drugs market are encouraging patients to conduct annual examinations with qualified retina specialists to control toxicity levels.

Analysts’ Viewpoint

Companies in the hydroxychloroquine drugs market have increased their output capacities during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the FDA has issued a caution against hydroxychloroquine outside of hospital settings due to the potential risk of heart rhythm problems. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis and high prevalence of lupus in individuals are boosting the growth of the hydroxychloroquine drugs market. However, issues of drug resistance are being encountered by several healthcare professionals. Hence, pharma companies are designing data visualization and mapping tools to track the spread of drug resistance. Such data is being handed over to government-led surveillance agencies to introduce high-quality drugs in the market.

Hydroxychloroquine Drugs Market: Overview

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) belongs to a class of drugs called antimalarials. It is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus by decreasing the activity of the immune system. In 2020, hydroxychloroquine gained popularity as a treatment for coronavirus (COVID-19). However, HCQ tablets are currently under clinical trial as a possible treatment for COVID-19 and their efficacy in treating COVID-19 is yet to be demonstrated in the studies.

Rise in prevalence of malaria and rheumatoid arthritis, and increase in geriatric population are projected to drive the global hydroxychloroquine drugs market. Surge in product launches and approvals are anticipated to augment the global market in the near future.

Hydroxychloroquine Drugs Market: Key Drivers

Hydroxychloroquine is FDA-approved to treat or prevent malaria. Hydroxychloroquine is also approved for treatment of autoimmune conditions such as chronic discoid lupus erythematosus, systemic lupus erythematosus in adults, and rheumatoid arthritis. According to CDC, nearly half the world’s population lives in areas at risk of malaria transmission in 91 countries and territories. In 2016, malaria caused an estimated 216 million clinical episodes and 445,000 deaths, which increased to an estimated 228 million cases and 405,000 deaths in 2018. Majority of deaths occurred in the WHO African Region.

Disease outbreaks such as coronavirus also boost the demand for the drug. According the WHO, as on November 23, 2020, 58,425,681 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 1,385,218 deaths, were reported globally.

Older people are at high risk of rheumatoid arthritis. Depending on their underlying health, older adults with rheumatoid arthritis could have to cope with multiple coexisting diseases, polypharmacy, and impaired functional ability. According the CDC, from 2013 to 2015, 49.6% of people aged 65 years or older in the U.S. reported doctor-diagnosed arthritis.

Increase in Product Launches and Approvals

Product launch strategies aim to boost revenue. More than 25% of total revenue and profits across industries comes from the launch of new products. In April 2020, Lincoln Pharmaceuticals received the FDA approval to manufacture hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) tablets and hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets. After necessary approval from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), the company will be able to export these products. Rise in number of product approvals is expected to propel the global market during the forecast period.
