Global autoimmune and inflammatory immunomodulators market is dominated by biologics, with over 90% share compared with small molecules. This is primarily due to the growing popularity of monoclonal antibodies (mABs) as these biologicals have a high affinity toward specific disease cells and areas that need to be treated. Although, few biologicals are already off-patent in selected regions, or patent will expire over the forecast period, we believe that the market will continue deriving support from the advent of biosimilar and the expected approvals and launches from the strong pipeline. Considering the sensitive and complex nature of biologicals, they are mostly administered in the injectable forms. To a large pool of individuals, this remains a big hurdle in treatment acceptance. To overcome this limitation, the established vendors such as Pfizer, Abbvie, and Eli Lilly are trying to launch an oral form of these biologicals in the market. Once launched, this trend will fuel the market growth exponentially and will become one of the major growth drivers over the years to come.

Extensive media coverage of virus propagation and high-profile data breaches have increased awareness of viruses and their impact on business. This emphasized the importance of precautionary measures to counter attacks in the consumer and enterprise arena, leading to increased adoption of antivirus software packages.The popularity of mobile devices also suggests that the desktop era might be coming to an end. Furthermore, changes in work locations, time zone barriers, and the need to access official and confidential data via employees' personal devices is resulting in an increased demand for antivirus software packages.

Currently, the global alopecia market has very limited approved therapies with two being global and one being approved only for Japan, South Korea, and Australia. Consequently, the market relies heavily on off-label and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, which form large volume sales but add less to the market value. In spite of the unknown pathophysiology of this condition, the current pipeline looks promising, especially due to novel Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, SM04554. As this commands higher efficacy and safety as per the clinical trials, once launched, will be one of the primary growth drivers. Regenerative medicines will be the next wave of growth in global alopecia drugs market. The advent of cell therapy and tissue engineering will be able to overcome the barrier of complete hair restoration, which remains a challenge otherwise,through therapeutic usage. The competition, going forward, will become intense for prominent vendors in current alopecia therapeutic market such as Merck and Johnson & Johnson and could result into sales erosion of their drugs as well once regenerative vendors such as RepliCel gets the approval for its Phase II molecule.
