The global tumor necrosis factor inhibitor drugs market size is estimated to reach USD 26.6 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 2.2% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing prevalence of autoimmune diseases, rapid technological advancements, and rise in healthcare expenditure across the globe are some of the major factors expected to drive the growth.
Currently, there are five approved TNF inhibitor drugs in the market- Humira (adalimumab), Enbrel (etanercept), Remicade (infliximab), Simponi/Simponi Aria (golimumab), and Cimzia (certolizumab). Biosimilar versions of Humira, Enbrel, and Remicade have been launched, causing a significant paradigm shift in the market.
The wave of biosimilars pose a significant internal threat to the biologics sale as biosimilars have a comparable efficiency as the original products. The cost-effectiveness of biosimilars makes them an attractive choice in economically sensitive areas. In addition, emerging countries, such as India, China, and South Korea are active participants in the biosimilar market.
Some of the key therapeutic areas involving treatment with TNF inhibitor drugs are rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis. Although these medicines are mostly used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, several ongoing studies are investigating the role of TNF inhibitors in the treatment of cancer and other inflammatory conditions.
Some of the key players in the TNF inhibitor space are involved in strategic initiatives, such as mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures for the co-development of products. In addition, patent infringement issues between the manufacturers makes the market dynamics intensely competitive. For instance, AbbVie resolved an issue with Boehringer Ingelheim, regarding Humira’s intellectual property (IP) rights. As per the terms of the agreement, Boehringer Ingelheim received a non-exclusive license to Humira’s IP in the U.S.- scheduled to begin in July 2023.
