The analysts forecast the global autoimmune diseases drugs market to grow at a CAGR of 5.57% during the period 2016-2020

Autoimmune diseases are immunological disorders that occur when the immune system attacks and destroys healthy tissues in the body rather than foreign bodies, causing significant pain, inflammation, and organ damage. These diseases can affect the nervous system, cardiovascular system, and musculoskeletal system or individual organs, including the skin, lungs, kidneys, glands, and joints.

The awareness of autoimmune diseases among the general public is low. Many physicians are also poorly trained in this area. To overcome these drawbacks, a new specialty Autoimmunologist was designed to lead physicians from different disciplines. In addition, the Prevention, Awareness, and Research of Autoimmune Diseases Act (AARDA) provided funding of up to $18 million to create awareness for these diseases.

Further, the report states that patent expiries result in the loss of exclusivity of that specific drug, leading to a rapid decline in its sales.
