01/13/2026 01:00 PM • The systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.4% from 2025-2034, driven by rising disease prevalence, increased diagnostic awareness, and a robust pipeline of targeted therapies. The US market was valued at USD 2.8 billion in 2024 with approximately 529K diagnosed cases. Currently, only two FDA-approved therapies exist (BENLYSTA and SAPHNELO), but several promising drugs in mid-to-late stage development are expected to reshape the treatment landscape and address significant unmet medical needs.
JNJ - Developing nipocalimab, an investigational FcRn inhibitor in Phase 3 development with favorable Phase 2b JASMINE trial results reported in January 2026, positioning the company well in the growing SLE market.
