Living Gluten-Free, Seeking a Cure | Celiac Disease Treatment Market Poised for Growth Through 2030

Amidst the growing awareness of celiac disease worldwide, the need for more accurate diagnostic tools and advanced treatment options is increasing. While the treatment remains the restricted gluten-free diet, the celiac disease treatment market is on the brink of evolution with the ongoing clinical innovation, a growing pool of patients, and demand for a non-dietary alternative or an add-on to the existing gluten-free diet (GFD).

What is Celiac Disease?

Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disease where gluten – a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye – causes inflammation in the small intestine of the patient. The condition affects nearly 1 in 100 individuals globally. However, the symptoms of the disease are often vague and overlapping with many other gastrointestinal diseases leading to misdiagnosis or no diagnosis.

As the physicians are more educated, the screening protocols have improved, and the consumers are becoming more aware, more people are getting diagnosed and looking for a better treatment option than a restricted gluten-free diet. Hence, many pharmaceutical companies as well as biotech researchers are focusing on treatment development that can aid patients in moving past a GFD.

Gluten-Free Diet is not a Cure

Avoiding gluten can help alleviate the symptoms and reduce the risk of damage to the intestine, but there are other problems associated with a GFD. These include low adherence to the diet as gluten is present in a wide range of products (hidden sources) and it is also high risk for nutritional deficiencies. In some patients, even a strictly followed GFD is not adequate for controlling the symptoms of celiac disease and the condition is referred to as non-responsive celiac disease.

R&D Pipeline and Product Launches

In the past few years, the R&D pipeline has shown active participation. Companies are putting money in enzyme therapies, immune-modulators, gut-barrier protectants, and vaccines-based treatment in order to either help the patients to neutralize gluten or retrain the immune system of the patient to avoid damage.

Some of the notable developments include:

Latiglutenase and TAK-101 – In clinical stage which work to minimize the intestinal damage and inflammation from gluten.

ZED1227– an orally administered transglutaminase 2 inhibitor with great potential to reduce the mucosal damage from gluten consumption during phase 2.

Larazotide acetate– a gut-barrier regulator with the objective of reducing the intestinal permeability in people with celiac disease.

The approval and commercialization of these treatments will not only give celiac patients a better lifestyle but also better control over the disease, and these products can be the key growth drivers for the celiac disease treatment market in the next 5 years.

Supportive Care and Diagnostics

While research and development in the treatment of celiac disease are taking place, there is a demand for early diagnostic procedures, nutritional support, and treatment for the microbiome of the gastrointestinal tract. There is an increasing demand for customized care that includes a combination of diet management, symptom monitoring, and the new treatments.

Companies are also moving ahead with digitalization of tools and software like smart diagnostic kits for celiac disease and apps for patients to track their symptoms.

Market Expectations by 2030

A growing patient pool, a better understanding of the disease, and various R&D initiatives in treatment development for celiac disease are expected to drive the celiac disease treatment market growth during the forecast period. North America and Europe are the most advanced regions in the market and are expected to hold the major share, but Asia-Pacific is emerging as the fastest-growing market in terms of revenue in the next few years.

The region is offering growth potential with a changing diet, increasing diagnosis rate, and improved healthcare systems. The demand for better treatment options for celiac disease patients has led the market from traditional diet management to pharmaceutical and technological solutions, which is opening a new era for people with celiac disease.

Final Thoughts

The celiac disease treatment market is entering a phase of high growth and development, and it is projected to grow at a CAGR of >10% during the forecast period. With innovations and investments pouring in the R&D space, and patients being more vocal and demand-savvy about their needs, the time has come for celiac disease patients to look forward to a life beyond just the gluten-free diet.

The hunt for the real cure for celiac disease has just started.
