Strategic Insights
Methotrexate Market Growth Drivers- Increasing Prevalence of Autoimmune Diseases: Methotrexate is used to treat autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and lupus. The increasing prevalence of autoimmune disorders, due to genetic basis, environmental association, and lifestyle changes, is accelerating the demand for methotrexate. The demand for methotrexate is likely to increase, as the aging population is gradually witnessing an increase in the incident cases of autoimmune diseases.
- Advancements in Cancer Treatment: Certain cancers—leukemia, lymphoma, and osteosarcoma—are also treated with methotrexate. An increasing rate of occurrence of cancers across the globe, coupled with related advancements in cancer treatment incorporating methotrexate as part of combination therapy, is a market growth driver. The evolution of new chemotherapy protocols and a concentration on early detection and diagnosis are also helpful in market growth.
- Cost-Effectiveness of Methotrexate: Methotrexate is a very low-priced drug compared to the recent biological therapies for autoimmune diseases and cancer. Its affordability increases attractiveness as a treatment in developed and emerging markets, where healthcare and treatment actively become concerned. Indications of generics being available on the market have also reduced costs for methotrexate to a very large extent, thus giving access to a wide population of patients.
- Shift Towards Combination Therapy: Methotrexate is being increasingly combined with other medicines in the treatment of cancer or autoimmunities, for example, in the therapy of RA, methotrexate is combined with biologics or other DMARDs to achieve a more optimal disease control. This trend is likely to stimulate the growth consumption of methotrexate as an integrative element of combination therapy.
- Personalized Medical and Methotrexate Dosing: How personal medicine is influencing the market for methotrexate, where more studies are coming forth to develop patient subgrouping to benefit the most from the use of methotrexate. Pharmacogenomics studies help in optimizing the dosing of methotrexate and reducing its side effects to improve treatment. Personalized approaches are thus increasingly being adopted in dosing so that autoimmune diseases and cancers may become more precisely managed.
- Use of Methotrexate in the Pediatric Population: Methotrexate is rapidly entering the sphere of pediatric oncology, especially in the form of childhood leukemia. As methotrexate has proven efficacy in treating many cancers in children, the growing use of methotrexate in pediatric populations follows this trend. The horizons for methotrexate in pediatric oncology and autoimmune diseases could open wide for the overall increase in the market that may follow.
- Non-Cancer Applications Gaining Momentum: Methotrexate is used for more than cancer treatment; it is also employed for autoimmune disorders such as psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and Crohn's disease. Expanding the use of methotrexate for non-cancer indications is an immense marketing opportunity. Increased awareness and understanding of the drug's importance in these diseases may also provide a firmer foothold for these therapeutic areas.
- Research on Methotrexate for Other Diseases: The possibility for market opportunities lies in the research being carried out on the use of methotrexate in other diseases and conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases. Should clinical trials prove successful in these indications, the extended use of methotrexate beyond its present applications would then become likely. The exploration of new therapeutic indications may assist in the growth of the market and diversification of the therapeutic portfolio.
- Methotrexate as Part of Regimen in Biologic Therapy: The increasing use of biologic therapy for autoimmune diseases dictates methotrexate serve increasingly as an adjunct to enhance the effects of biologics or diminish side effects. This increasing use of methotrexate in combination with modern biologics for diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis will serve as an opportunity for manufacturers to position methotrexate as an integral part of contemporary therapeutic regimens.

The financial information presented is extracted from the annual reports and official documents of the publicly listed companies. Upon collecting the information for the sections of respective companies, we verify them via various primary sources and then compile the data in respective company profiles. The company level information helps us in deriving the base number as well as in forecasting the market size.
- 3.4 Developing Base Number:
Aggregation of sales statistics (2020-2022) and macro-economic factor, and other secondary and primary research insights are utilized to arrive at base number and related market shares for 2022. The data gaps are identified in this step and relevant market data is analyzed, collected from paid primary interviews or databases. On finalizing the base year market size, forecasts are developed on the basis of macro-economic, industry and market growth factors and company level analysis.
- Data Triangulation and Final Review:
The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.
We follow an iterative model, wherein we share our research findings with Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) until consensus view of the market is not formulated – this model negates any drastic deviation in the opinions of experts. Only validated and universally acceptable research findings are quoted in our reports.
We have important check points that we use to validate our research findings – which we call – data triangulation, where we validate the information, we generate from secondary sources with primary interviews and then we re-validate with our internal data bases and Subject matter experts. This comprehensive model enables us to deliver high quality, reliable data in shortest possible time.
