Sulfasalazine Market is Anticipated to Witness High Growth Owing to Increasing Number of IBD Cases
The sulfasalazine market comprises oral medications containing sulfasalazine that are used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as ulcerative colitis and some types of arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis. Sulfasalazine contains two components—sulfapyridine and 5-aminosalicylic acid. While sulfapyridine helps suppress the immune system, 5-aminosalicylic acid reduces inflammation in the digestive tract. Sulfasalazine works by blocking the inflammation-causing compounds in the body.
The global sulfasalazine market is estimated to be valued at US$ 2.32 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 18.% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031.
