Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a rare type of inflammation that mainly affects spine and can damage large joints of body. It causes inflammation in the spinal joints (vertebrae), thereby causing severe pain and discomfort. Over time, ankylosing spondylitis can cause some bones in the spine to fuse together, as a result of which the spine becomes less flexible. Symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis include pain and stiffness in the hips and lower back.
The global ankylosing spondylitis market is estimated to be valued at US$ 4,864.3 million in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period (2021-2028).

Increasing strategic alliances between the companies to develop or to expand the availability of drugs is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Key players in the market are focusing on inorganic growth strategies, such as partnerships and collaborations which is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
For instance, in August 2021, Inmagene Biopharmaceuticals, a leading biotech company focused on the development of therapeutics for immunology-related diseases, and Affibody AB, a company developing innovative bi- and multi-specific next-generation biopharmaceuticals, working in a partnership, announced the successful dosing of the first patient in the global ASPIRE phase 2 trial evaluating izokibep (IMG-020 or ABY-035) for treating ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Global Ankylosing Spondylitis Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
Accessing medical services can be challenging for people with ankylosing spondylitis during the COVID-19 pandemic. While some drugs for ankylosing spondylitis can be self-administered, some are given through an IV in hospitals. Similarly, physical therapy requires a visit to the physical therapist, which has been difficult due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Biologics such as TNF (Tumor Necrosis factor) inhibitors, used in ankylosing spondylitis treatment, may increase the risk of infections and lower the body's ability to fight infections, including COVID-19, because these medications cause a suppressing effect on the immune system. Biologics including IL-17 and IL-12/23 inhibitors are used for treating ankylosing spondylitis, but have the same immunosuppressive effect that may increase the risk of infections. Thus, due to this, the growth of the global ankylosing spondylitis market is expected to be hampered.
Ankylosing spondylitis is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease (IMID). According to a study conducted in Ontario, Canada, in 2020, it was found that people with IMIDs were tested for COVID-19 at a 20% higher rate, as compared to the general population.
Global Ankylosing Spondylitis Market: Restraint
