Crohn’s Disease market size was expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 4.3% by 2034, estimates DelveInsight
The Crohn’s disease market across the 7MM (US, EU4, UK, and Japan) is projected to grow from USD 11.37 billion in 2025 to USD 16.84 billion by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of 4.4%. The United States represents the largest share, with the market valued at around USD 8 billion in 2024 and expected to grow steadily.
Recent developments show strong activity in diagnostics and biologics. In 2025, ALPCO launched a calprotectin assay in Europe to help differentiate inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s, from IBS. Several ustekinumab biosimilars entered the US market, including SELARSDI™ (Teva/Alvotech) and STEQEYMA® (Celltrion), increasing competition. Johnson & Johnson’s TREMFYA® (guselkumab) gained FDA approval as the first IL-23 inhibitor offering both subcutaneous and intravenous induction for moderate to severe Crohn’s disease. Additionally, the FDA approved OMVOH® (mirikizumab) in early 2025, further strengthening the IL-23 class.
Current treatment relies heavily on biologics and immunomodulators, with adalimumab holding the largest market share (about USD 4 billion in 2024 across the 7MM). Other mainstays include STELARA, infliximab, corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and 5-ASA therapies. Around 10% of total market revenue comes from pediatric patients, where HUMIRA and REMICADE remain dominant due to established safety and physician familiarity.
Market growth will be driven by newly approved and late-stage emerging therapies such as RINVOQ, OMVOH, SKYRIZI, TREMFYA, ENTYVIO (pediatric), VELSIPITY, LITFULO, Tulisokibart, Duvakitug, AGMB-129, and others. Major pharmaceutical companies—including Takeda, Janssen, AbbVie, UCB, Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca, Gilead, Boehringer Ingelheim, Pfizer, Sanofi, and several biotechs—are actively advancing innovative pipeline treatments.
Overall, the Crohn’s disease market is set for steady expansion, supported by biologic innovation, biosimilar competition, expanding pediatric research, and new mechanisms such as IL-23 inhibitors, which are reshaping the treatment landscape.

Some facts of the Crohn’s Disease Market Report are:
- The Crohn’s Disease market size was valued ~USD 10,777 million in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a significant CAGR of 4.3% during the study period (2020-2034).
- In November 2025, Gomab Therapeutics is advancing its lead candidate, ontunisertib, into a Phase IIb trial after positive results in fibrostenosing Crohn’s disease (FSCD). In the Phase IIa STENOVA study (NCT05843578), the oral activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5) inhibitor demonstrated safety and tolerability over 12 weeks in patients with symptomatic ileal narrowing. Adverse event incidence and severity were comparable between the treatment and placebo groups, and no treatment-emergent cardiac toxicity or inflammation was observed.
- In November 2025, Sandoz’s Tyruko (natalizumab-sztn) is now available for prescription in the U.S. Tyruko is the first FDA-approved biosimilar to Tysabri (natalizumab), indicated for adult patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis and for those with moderate to severe Crohn’s disease. The FDA granted approval in August 2023, with a planned 2024 launch contingent on a second FDA approval for a test detecting anti-JVC antibodies. Natalizumab therapies carry a risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare brain infection caused by the John Cunningham virus, which can occur in immunocompromised patients.
- In April 2025, Sanofi decided to discontinue the development of its oral tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor, balinatunfib, as a standalone treatment after it failed to meet the primary endpoint in a Phase II trial. Preliminary findings from the SPECIFIC-PSO Phase II study (NCT06073119) in psoriasis patients indicated that balinatunfib produced clinically meaningful improvements in the primary endpoint, PASI-75 response, with efficacy similar to other oral psoriasis treatments. However, it did not achieve statistical significance, which Sanofi attributed to “the nature of this limited Phase II study.” PASI-75 is a standard measure assessing whether a patient has achieved a 75% reduction in symptoms from baseline.
- In March 2025, Agomab Therapeutics reported positive interim findings from 44 patients who completed treatment in the ongoing STENOVA1 Phase IIa trial of AGMB-129, an oral gastrointestinal (GI)-restricted small molecule ALK5 (TGF-β RI or ALK5) inhibitor being developed as a potential therapy for Fibrostenosing Crohn’s Disease (FSCD).
- In March 2025, Celltrion announced the U.S. launch of STEQEYMA® (ustekinumab-stba), a biosimilar to STELARA® (ustekinumab), after receiving FDA approval in December 2024. STEQEYMA is authorized for the same indications as STELARA, ensuring reliable treatment options for both patients and healthcare providers.
- In March 2025, Johnson & Johnson announced that the FDA has approved TREMFYA® (guselkumab), making it the first and only IL-23 inhibitor offering both subcutaneous (SC) and intravenous (IV) induction options for adults with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease (CD), a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the gastrointestinal tract.
- In February 2025, Eli Lilly shared findings from the VIVID-2 open-label extension study at the Crohn’s and Colitis Congress (CCC), revealing that most patients with moderately-to-severely active Crohn’s disease treated continuously with OMVOH for two years achieved sustained clinical and endoscopic outcomes, including 43.8% of patients who had previously failed biologic therapies.
- In January 2025, The FDA approved OMVOH (mirikizumab) for Crohn’s disease, reinforcing the role of IL-23 inhibitors. Demonstrating robust long-term effectiveness, OMVOH is also under investigation for use in pediatric patients, potentially fulfilling a critical unmet need in this group.
- In 2024, the Crohn’s disease market in the US held the largest share among the 7MM, reaching around USD 8,000 million, and it is projected to grow further at a CAGR of 4.5%.
- In 2024, Germany recorded the largest Crohn’s disease market size among European nations at approximately USD 670 million, while Spain had the smallest, with around USD 207 million.
- In 2024, Japan’s Crohn’s disease market size was estimated at around USD 423 million, representing about 4% of the overall 7MM market.
- In 2024, the United States reported approximately 1.1 million diagnosed prevalent cases of Crohn’s disease.
- In 2024, the United States accounted for the largest share of diagnosed prevalent Crohn’s disease cases, representing about 54% of the 7MM population, while EU4 and the UK made up roughly 42%, and Japan contributed around 4%.
- In 2024, Germany recorded the highest number of diagnosed Crohn’s disease cases among the EU4 countries, with 299,000 cases, followed by the UK with 234,000 cases, while Spain reported the fewest, at 93,000 cases.
- In 2024, the United States was estimated to have approximately 461,000 diagnosed prevalent cases of mild Crohn’s disease and around 755,000 cases classified as moderate-to-severe.
- Key Crohn’s Disease Companies: Merck, Eli Lilly and Company, RedHill Biopharma, Bristol Myers Squibb, Dr. Falk Pharma GmbH, Janssen-Cilag Ltd., AbbVie, EA Pharma Co., Ltd., Erasmus Medical Center, Takeda, Pfizer, Provention Bio, Inc., Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, and others

Crohn’s Disease Overview
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, commonly affecting the small intestine and colon. Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), fatigue, weight loss, and fever. The exact cause is unknown but likely involves a combination of genetic predisposition, immune system dysfunction, and environmental factors. Diagnosis relies on a combination of medical history, physical examination, blood tests, imaging studies (such as endoscopy and colonoscopy), and sometimes biopsy. Treatment aims to reduce inflammation, relieve symptoms, and prevent complications, and may include medications like corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, biologics, and dietary changes. In severe cases, surgery to remove damaged portions of the intestine may be necessary. Crohn’s disease is a lifelong condition with periods of flare-ups and remission, requiring ongoing management and monitoring by healthcare professionals.
