Global Interstitial Cystitis Drugs Market– Drivers

Increasing Prevalence of Interstitial Cystitis:

  • Rising prevalence of interstitial cystitis is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in August 2022, according to a report published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the estimated annual incidence rate of interstitial cystitis in the U.S. was 2.6 cases per 100,000 women every year, while the report also reported that Europe indicated a prevalence of 18 cases per 100,000 women, whereas only 3-4 cases per 100,000 women are reported in Japan every year, respectively.

Rising Healthcare Expenditure

  • One of the significant factors influencing the growth rate of the interstitial cystitis drugs market is the growing healthcare expenditure, which helps in improving its infrastructure. For instance, according to the International Health Care System of the U.S., in June 2020, U.S. government organizations aim to improve the healthcare infrastructure by increasing funding, setting legislation and national strategies, and cofounding and setting basic requirements and regulations for the Medicaid program.
  • Furthermore, in December 2022, according to a report published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, U.S. health care spending grew 2.7% in 2021, reaching US$ 4.3 trillion, or US$ 12,914 per person, while as a share of the nation's gross domestic product, health spending accounted for 18.3%.
  • Similarly, in November 2022, the Canadian Institute for Health Information reported that the total health spending in Canada was US$331 billion in 2022, or US$ 8,563 per Canadian, while health expenditure represented 12.2% of Canada's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2022, following a high of 13.8% in 2020.

Global Interstitial Cystitis Drugs Market- Regional Analysis

Among regions, North America is estimated to hold a dominant position in the global interstitial cystitis drugs market over the forecast period. North America is estimated to hold 33.5% of the market share in 2023. The global interstitial cystitis drugs market is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years, owing to the rising number of clinical trials by market players for the treatment of patients suffering from interstitial cystitis. For instance, on October 3, 2023, Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a biotechnology company, announced the initiation of clinical trial to study the safety and efficacy of IW-3300 for the treatment of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), which is currently in phase 2 of the clinical trial and actively recruiting patients.

Global Interstitial Cystitis Drugs Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

  • Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.
  • COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Egypt, and others, faced problems with the transportation of things from one place to another.
  • The supply chain and manufacturing activities in India, China, the U.S., and other countries have been disrupted due to lockdown, while countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore have faced problems with regards to the transportation of drugs and medical devices.
  • Thus, the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is expected to limit the growth of the global interstitial cystitis drugs market during the forecast period, owing to the decrease in production and supply of the drugs during the pandemic.

This is considered a rare side effect of pentosan polysulfate sodium, which can lead to visual changes associated with the use of pentosan polysulfate sodium, especially after long-term therapy. Furthermore, some of the common side effects associated with pentosan polysulfate sodium include:
    • Hair loss
    • Diarrhea
    • Upset stomach
    • Heartburn
    • Headache
    • Rash
    • Stomach pain
    • Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep

*Definition: Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a prolonged condition that causes bladder pressure, pain, and, in some cases, pelvic pain. The symptoms of interstitial cystitis may have an impact on one’s social life, physical activity, sleep, and even the ability to work. The disease tends to affect women more than the men. Common symptoms of interstitial cystitis include bladder pain and pressure, frequent urination, pain in the vagina or vulva in women, and pain in the scrotum or testicles in men. It is difficult to diagnose; therefore, even though treatments can improve one's quality of life, there is no optimal cure.
