Ulcerative Colitis – Geographic Focus: China – Ulcerative Colitis – China In-Depth (China)

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, progressive inflammatory bowel disease marked by inflammation and ulceration of the colon and rectum. The primary objective of UC pharmacotherapy is to induce and maintain remission; drug selection is tailored to symptom severity. While conventional therapies (e.g., aminosalicylates, corticosteroids) will continue to dominate treatment, there is growing interest in non-TNF-alpha targeted therapies. These innovative agents are expected to drive competition and offer hope to patients unresponsive to existing treatments. The UC therapy market in China will experience considerable growth over the next decade, fueled by the anticipated launch and adoption of several targeted therapies, including Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine’s Tremfya, AbbVie’s Skyrizi, Eli Lilly’s Omvoh, Pfizer’s Velsipity, and Hengrui’s ivarmacitinib. In this report, we evaluate how clinical and nonclinical factors—such as pricing dynamics and inclusion in China’s National Reimbursement Drug List—will influence the treatment paradigm during the forecast period. Understanding these converging factors is crucial for the key players in this market.
