Multiple Sclerosis Therapeutic Market Analysis

 Route of Administration (Oral, Injectables)

In route of administration, oral segment is set to hold multiple sclerosis therapeutic market share of more than 58.5% by 2037. It is easier to monitor oral medications than injectable therapies, making a patient more compliant and convenient. The patients are allowed to take medication at home, in the absence of any medical supervision, thus enhancing their treatment process.
This convenience leads to adherence to the treatment routine, which is critical in chronic conditions including multiple sclerosis, as it demands a thorough treatment to manage symptoms, thereby, slowing disease progression. Moreover, continuous innovation in oral formulations, with improved safety profiles and efficacy in treating both relapsing and progressive MS, has further solidified their dominance in the market. For instance, in March 2019, the U.S. FDA approved Novartis’ Mayzent tablets to treat adults with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis.
