The global seropositive rheumatoid arthritis drug market is expected to be driven by factors such as rising cigarette consumption, growing healthcare expenditure, increasing female population, and increasing obese population. However, the growth of this industry is hindered by increasing treatment costs and high cost associated with R&D. The global seropositive rheumatoid arthritis drug market is rather concentrated with few pharmaceutical companies dominating the market through new drug approval.
