Advancing Treatment Options for IgA Nephropathy Across Southeast Asia

Author : Suresh s | Published On : 18 Nov 2025

"Global Demand Outlook for Executive Summary Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam IgA Nephropathy Market Size and Share Introduction

IgA Nephropathy (IgAN), also known as Berger's disease, is a chronic kidney disease that occurs when an antibody called immunoglobulin A (IgA) lodges in the kidneys. This results in local inflammation that, over time, can hamper the kidney's ability to filter waste from the blood. In Southeast Asia, specifically in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, the market for treating this condition is evolving due to improving healthcare access and a rising burden of chronic kidney diseases (CKD).

According to Data Bridge Market Research, the IgA Nephropathy Market in these five countries is witnessing steady growth. This is driven by increasing awareness among nephrologists, better diagnostic capabilities, and the gradual introduction of targeted therapies aimed at slowing disease progression and preventing end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Market Size and Growth Projections

The market in this region is expanding as healthcare infrastructure modernizes. Historically, treatment relied heavily on supportive care using generic blood pressure medications (ACE inhibitors/ARBs) and corticosteroids. However, the market is shifting as novel, targeted therapies specifically approved for IgAN begin to enter the global landscape and trickle down to these emerging markets. The increasing prevalence of diabetes and hypertension in Southeast Asia, which are comorbidities that complicate kidney health, also drives the need for better renal care management.

Future growth will be defined by the regulatory approval and reimbursement of new biologics and targeted small molecules in these specific countries.

Market Segmentation

By Treatment Type

  • Corticosteroids & Immunosuppressants
  • ACE Inhibitors & ARBs (Supportive Care)
  • Targeted Therapies (e.g., Endothelin Receptor Antagonists, B-cell modulators)

By Route of Administration

  • Oral
  • Parenteral

By End User

  • Hospitals
  • Specialty Clinics
  • Homecare

Regional Insights

  • Thailand and Malaysia are leading markets within this group, possessing relatively more advanced healthcare systems and reimbursement frameworks (like universal health coverage) that facilitate access to specialized treatments.
  • Vietnam and the Philippines are fast-growing markets driven by large populations and increasing government investments in healthcare infrastructure.
  • Indonesia presents a massive volume opportunity due to its population size, though access to advanced specialty care remains a challenge in rural areas.

Key Market Drivers

  • The rising prevalence of chronic kidney disease and autoimmune disorders in Southeast Asia.
  • Improvements in diagnostic screening leading to earlier detection of IgA Nephropathy.
  • Increasing healthcare expenditure and government initiatives to manage the burden of dialysis and kidney failure.
  • The emergence of novel targeted therapies that offer better outcomes than traditional immunosuppression.

Market Challenges

  • The high cost of novel, patent-protected drugs compared to low-cost generic supportive care.
  • Limited reimbursement coverage for high-cost specialty drugs in some of these developing economies.
  • A shortage of nephrologists and specialized diagnostic facilities in rural and remote areas.
  • Late-stage diagnosis, as the disease is often asymptomatic until significant kidney damage has occurred.

Competitive Landscape

The market involves multinational pharmaceutical companies introducing their global portfolios, alongside regional players providing generic supportive therapies. Key players include:

  • Novartis AG
  • Calliditas Therapeutics AB
  • Travere Therapeutics, Inc.
  • Roche
  • Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
  • Local generic manufacturers

Technological Innovations

Innovation is focused on disease-modifying therapies. This includes the development of targeted-release formulations (like targeted budesonide) that deliver drugs directly to the gut where the pathogenic IgA is produced, minimizing systemic side effects. Research into the complement system pathway and B-cell modulation is also yielding new drug candidates that aim to stop the autoimmune attack on the kidneys at its source.

Future Market Outlook

The future of the IgA Nephropathy market in these five countries lies in improved access and specific treatment. As global approvals for targeted IgAN drugs increase, manufacturers will seek to enter these emerging markets. Governments will likely focus on early screening programs to prevent the high cost of ESRD (dialysis/transplant), thereby driving demand for earlier-stage pharmaceutical interventions.

Conclusion

The Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam IgA Nephropathy Market represents a critical region for improving renal health outcomes in the developing world. While challenges in affordability remain, the shift towards targeted therapies offers significant hope for patients to delay or prevent kidney failure, marking a new era in the management of this challenging autoimmune disease.
