Introduction 

The rheumatoid arthritis drugs market continues to expand steadily as autoimmune disorders gain greater clinical focus worldwide. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic condition that requires long-term treatment, often combining disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), biologics, and targeted synthetic therapies. According to Mordor Intelligence, consistent patient inflow and early diagnosis are supporting sustained demand for rheumatoid arthritis drugs across both developed and emerging markets. 

Healthcare providers are increasingly emphasizing early intervention to prevent joint damage and disability. This has led to higher prescription volumes for biologics and targeted therapies, particularly in moderate to severe cases. In parallel, the availability of biosimilars is improving treatment affordability in cost-sensitive regions, supporting broader market penetration while maintaining therapy continuity.
