Growth Drivers
Rising Prevalence of Autoimmune and Inflammatory Diseases
Increasing prevalence of diseases like lupus, RA, Crohn's disease, and psoriasis is driving demand for immunomodulators like tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors (e.g., Humira, Remicade) and JAK inhibitors (e.g., Xeljanz). The rapidly aging global population is more susceptible to chronic autoimmune conditions. It is further bolstering demand for treatments tailored to older adults, such as more tolerable biologics.
Biotech Advancements
Innovations in biotech platforms and advanced modalities such as CGT, bispecific antibodies, and RNA therapies are enhancing the efficacy and safety profiles of immunomodulators and driving the development of next-gen targeted therapies. Carisma Therapeutics Inc. and Moderna, Inc. have collaborated to use Carisma's proprietary CAR-M technology and Moderna's mRNA/lipid nanoparticles (LNP) platform to develop a macrophage engineering approach for autoimmune diseases.
Growing Investment in R&D
Increased funding from both public and private sectors is accelerating R&D efforts for discovering new therapies and improving existing ones. The NIH allocates significant funding for research on immunomodulatory therapies, fostering innovation. An increasing number of M&A deals demonstrate a growing focus on immunology by big pharma.
Success in Oncology and Expanding Applications
The success of immunotherapies in oncology has raised awareness and acceptance of similar approaches in treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. For example, Roche's Gazyva/Gazyvaro (obinutuzumab), approved in 100 nations for several lymphoma types, is being investigated in the Phase III REGISTRY trial for lupus nephritis.
Growth Restraints
Immunomodulator Therapeutics: Growth Restraints, Global, 2025-2030
Stringent Regulatory Processes: Stringent regulatory processes for immunomodulatory treatment approval or the development of novel mechanisms of action, globally, can cause delays in market access and raise development expenses for pharmaceutical companies. Moreover, inadequate reimbursement/insurance coverage globally may deter wide-scale adoption, especially in public health systems or regions with limited healthcare resources. Inadequate coverage of high-cost new drugs would increase the expenses of managing long-term conditions, impacting patient compliance and market growth.
Potential Adverse Effects and Safety Concerns: Immunomodulators may have serious adverse effects, such as an elevated risk of infections and autoimmune responses. For example, checkpoint inhibitor use in autoimmune disease is linked to immune-related side effects that need to be carefully managed. Adverse outcomes and safety risks may lead to regulatory actions such as market recalls, limited prescriptions, and reduced patient confidence, challenging market uptake.
Patent Expiry: Expiry of blockbuster drug patents is leading to the introduction of biosimilars and generic versions, intensifying market competition, resulting in price erosions, and leading to a loss of sales revenue for branded products. For example, AbbVie's blockbuster Humira, approved for several autoimmune conditions like RA, psoriasis, Crohn's disease, and ankylosing spondylitis, started facing biosimilar competition in 2023.
Patient Inconvenience: Biotech advancements have facilitated the development of effective biologic therapies; however, therapy administration requires frequent injections or infusions, making it challenging for patients to adhere to their treatment regimens. It may affect overall patient satisfaction and treatment discontinuation.
The Impact of the Top 3 Strategic Imperatives on the Immunomodulator Therapeutics Industry
Disruptive Technologies
Why: There is an increasing incidence of autoimmune diseases, particularly impacting women. Limitations in existing therapies demand more targeted applications.
Analyst Perspective: A new wave of drug classes (JAK1, IL, calcineurin, TNF?, TYK2, PDE4), across small molecules, biologics, and cell and gene therapies, will emerge, offering enhanced efficacy and safety profiles for treating autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. There will be a growing trend towards combination therapies that utilize multiple mechanisms of action to achieve better clinical outcomes.
Internal Challenges
Why: The industry is moving toward an extended patent cliff, with several revenue-generating blockbuster drugs like Humira and Stelara losing their exclusivity, leading to revenue losses and increased biosimilar competition, creating an urgent need for pipeline growth, and driving increased research and development (R&D). Resource demands for R&D can strain budgets, especially for smaller biotech firms.
Analyst Perspective: Companies may increasingly seek strategic partnerships to share costs and risks, fostering innovation through collaborative R&D efforts. Companies that emphasize unique value propositions in these strategic alliances will be better positioned to access markets/fair pricing with drugs like JAK inhibitors and women-specific therapies.

Edible Microlasers Could Revolutionize Food Tracking and Safety

In a delicious turn of events, scientists succeeded in taking the optics of olive oil to create the first-ever microlaser made entirely from edible materials. If commercialized, they could offer an easy and safe way to monitor food or medications from inside your body. The technology, introduced earlier this month in the journal Advanced Optical Materials, exploits an interesting tendency for droplets of common cooking oils, which emit a photon of light when subjected to a certain amount of energy. Arrange multiple droplets in a room full of mirrors, and together they shine more brightly—like a concentrated beam of light. The researchers tested more than a dozen different types of materials—sunflower oil, cooked butter, plain water, and more—to see which would generate the cleanest laser. And the winner was olive oil. One prominent component of olive oil is chlorophyll, the molecule most commonly known to make plants green. In this case, the chlorophyll molecules, trapped in the sticky surface of olive oils, generated photons in a chain reaction of sorts, transforming the droplet of olive oil into a laser. The brightness of the chlorophyll changes in accordance with the size and density of the oil droplets, making the laser highly sensitive to environmental conditions, according to the study. For example, adding it to different dishes of food and observing changes in the laser allowed the researchers to measure things such as sugar concentration or acidity What's more, the researchers were able to encode data within the droplets akin to the lines of a barcode, into a peach compote. Surprisingly, the data—the specific date of April 26, 2017, which happens to be the first international Stop Food Waste Date—remained intact for over a year, demonstrating the microlaser's potential to safely carry information, such as the identity of a manufacturer or an expiration date. 'Since this is the first such study, there are many possibilities for developing various edible lasers and their applications, which could ultimately find their way to everyday use,' the study authors concluded.

'Menopause made me forget my name'

"I didn't believe it could just be menopause. I thought it must be a brain tumour or dementia." Kirsty Dixon's life changed overnight when she started experiencing intense brain fog at 49 years old. Kirsty, from York, was staring at her screen at work one day, when suddenly she could not remember what she was doing. "I just asked myself 'What is my name?', and I couldn't even remember my own name. "I felt like I was going mad, I thought it was only me." The problems continued when she tried to access support. "I thought, why aren't people listening to me? "I've got something really serious going on but I can't get anyone to listen." Kirsty was told by a doctor that what she had experienced was part of the menopause. It is estimated that one in three women in the UK is going through the menopause at any given time. Kirsty, learning and development adviser at the University of York, is working to raise awareness of the lesser-known symptoms and the huge impact they can have on people's lives. "Before menopause I've always been a very bubbly person, very social, bit mischievous," she said. "Menopause came along and just put a big thunder cloud over my head. "I lost myself. The number of times my husband said 'I want my Kirsty back' while he was cuddling me and I was in floods of tears." Kirsty spent the next four years "fighting it" as she could not believe that those were menopause symptoms. Then, during lockdown, Kirsty found herself researching menopause for her work. She stumbled across an article by someone who had experienced the same symptoms as her. "I got that lightbulb moment that what I was experiencing was perfectly normal, I needed to understand it and know what I could do to help myself," she said. "I went from having this constant cloud and feeling useless, to actually owning my journey." Now aged 58, Kirsty runs two support groups for women experiencing the menopause, including a nature walking group around York, and a pop-up cafe in Acomb. They are non-profit and everyone is welcome, regardless of age or gender. She hopes the groups will encourage more people to talk about the lesser-known symptoms. "When you're going through it, it can feel so lonely," she said. "You feel like it's only you, and you think you're going mad. "One of the most important things I say to people is get your support network around you, and that's family, friends, and groups like this." Sarah Mortimer, 54, has been coming to the group since it started in 2022. She experienced an uncommon symptom of self-diagnosed burning mouth syndrome during her menopause, which involves developing blisters in the mouth with a burning feeling. "It can be really isolating, so to find groups like this is amazing," she said. "It makes a huge difference, knowing there's other people going through the same rubbish that you're going through. "It's that strength in numbers thing, and there's strength in the power of talking about the menopause." The group is based in York, but people travel from as far as Leeds, Sheffield and Beverley to attend. Kirsty says that it highlights an ongoing issue around the need for more support for people going through the menopause. "No one else was running a menopause cafe in York, so it was obviously something that was missing." She is calling for more groups like this so that people do not have to travel so far to get the support they need. "What I will say now, is as a post-menopausal woman, I am the most confident, the strongest, most creative person. "If someone said to me you can have your life again, without your menopause experience, actually, I'd say no, because it's what's made me the person I am today. "If I can get through that, I can get through anything."
