The global Psoriasis Therapeutics Market  is expected to be valued at USD 21.4 billion by 2022, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing number of reimbursement policies for treatment, advanced diagnostic tools, rising disease awareness and improved technological systems are likely to increase the adoption of therapeutics.

Additionally, the rising prevalence and incidence of psoriasis is anticipated to fuel the market growth. The condition has neither exact causes nor treatments to cure. Certain environmental and genetic factors may trigger the disease onset. Most treatments for the condition target to decelerate the severity of the disease by stopping the keratinocyte hyperproliferation. The disease symptoms can be managed by following a healthy lifestyle.

Psoriasis can be classified into five types: Plaque, Guttate, Inverse, Pustular and Erythrodermic. The types vary in characterization of lesions and location of the body affected. Plaque psoriasis is the commonest and erythrodermic psoriasis is the rarest type of psoriasis affecting patients all over the world.

The prevalence of psoriasis has seen a gradual increase over the years across the different geographical locations. This increase in prevalence can be related to lifestyle changes, environmental and genetic factors triggering the condition and its implications. This could also be related to the resistance or declining response to therapies for controlling the disease
