Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis that affects men over the age of 40, who have a high amount of uric acid in their blood. According to studies, its prevalence and incidence have increased in the last few decades. The rising prevalence of gout due to changing lifestyle patterns and the growing geriatric population is expected to boost market growth over the forecast period. For instance, as per the article published by the Annals of Rheumatic Diseases in June 2021, a nationwide cohort study using data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink, from 1997 to across the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 observed that the prevalence rate of gout has increased from 0.98%in 1997 to 2.33% in 2021. However, according to the same source, the incidence of gout increased by 0.98/1,000 persons in UK 2021. Therefore, the burden of gout is expected to increase the demand for drugs treating this condition, which is anticipated to propel the market growth over the forecast period.
The Gout Market segmentation, based on treatment and diagnosis, includes diagnosis, treatment. The treatment segment is further sub segmented into NSAIDs, corticosteroids, colchicine, urate-lowering agents, and others. The treatment segment is to hold the majority share in 2022 in the Gout Market revenue due to treatment segment includes different drugs namely NSAIDs, corticosteroids, colchicine, urate-lowering agents, and others. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are members of a therapeutic drug class that reduces pain, inflammation, fever, and blood clots. Corticosteroids, also known as steroids, are anti-inflammatory medications used to treat a variety of conditions. Colchicine is used to prevent gout attacks in adults (abnormally high levels of a substance called uric acid in the blood cause sudden, severe pain in one or more joints). Urate-lowering therapies for gout are broadly classified as xanthine oxidase inhibitors (allopurinol and febuxostat), uricosuric agents (benzbromarone and probenecid), and recombinant uricases.
April 2019: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved GLOPERBA (colchicine) to treat adult gout flare-ups.
The Gout Market segmentation is based on applications that include acute gout and chronic gout. The acute gout segment has dominated the market in 2022 due to the Acute gout attacks are distinguished by their rapid onset and progression, with joint pain typically peaking within 24 hours of the attack's onset. Without intervention, an acute attack usually begins to fade after 5 to 12 days, but complete resolution may take longer in some patients. Furthermore, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or corticosteroids are used as first-line therapy for acute gout, depending on comorbidities; colchicine is used as second-line therapy.
March 2020: Horizon Therapeutics plc launched Down and Out Kidney, an operation to feature the damaging effects combined with the collection of uric acid and gout in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

The Gout Market segmentation is based on hospitals & clinics, specialty centers, and others. The hospitals & clinics segment have dominated the market in 2021 and is projected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period, 2023- 2032. This is due to the availability of better medical facilities, proficient medical staff, and large number of patient pool. A doctor or a team of doctors who specialize in the care of gout patients should diagnose and treat the disease. This is significant because the signs and symptoms of gout are not specific and can resemble those of other inflammatory diseases. Rheumatologists are doctors who specialize in gout and other types of arthritis. For instance, according to a study conducted by NCBI, up to 18% of gout patients are hospitalized each year (all causes), making hospitalization an important potential exposure at the population level.
March 2022: Atom Bioscience reported the progressive results of a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2a clinical trial of ABP-671 to treat chronic gout.
By Region, the study segments the market into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World.

Europe gout market is expected to account for the second-largest market share due to the accessibility to advanced diagnosis & treatment facilities, the rising geriatric population prone to gout is driving up demand for effective treatment & therapeutics, and growing healthcare expenditure. For instance, according to the Eurostat database, healthcare expenditure was USD 176.61 billion in 2021.
Owing to rising healthcare expenditure also increases the company activities and government initiatives in developing effective diagnoses and treatment & therapeutics for gout, the Italy gout market is expected to be fastest growing market in the European region, followed by UK gout market. These factors are anticipated to positively impact the growth of the gout market. Additionally, improving government initiatives & healthcare frameworks and the presence of government organizations are boosting the growth of the gout market in Europe.
The Asia-Pacific gout market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.12% from 2023 to 2032. This is due to factors such as improving healthcare infrastructure, growing investment by major players with local manufacturers, and the increasing patient population suffering from gout. For instance, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, in 2018, an estimated 4.5% of Australians have gout. Gout is more common in males than females almost 8 in 10 (79%) people with gout are males. Hence, the rise in patients suffering from gout drives the market growth in the region as gout medications such as allopurinol, febuxostat, and probenecid among others are extensively used to reduce uric acid levels in the blood. This can help reduce the number of future flares and make them less severe. Additionally, the availability of technical expertise, reduced cost of labor, and funding from governments for R&D investment to accelerate new product development have made Asia-Pacific the most favored region for outsourcing manufacturing services.
The Rest of the World includes the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. Middle East hold the major market share in middle east and Africa region due to limited healthcare infrastructure, a dearth of awareness regarding the symptoms of the disease, and a lack of skilled professionals to manufacture gout therapeutics drugs are restricting the growth of the gout market in Sub-Saharan Africa. Additionally, low healthcare expenditure and unstable political situations are also affecting the market growth to an extent in the Middle East. However, growing healthcare infrastructure, increasing government initiatives for improving the healthcare sector, and the growing geriatric population in the Middle East region are likely to favor market growth.
