TRPV Channels Market: Competitive Landscape, Pipeline, and Market Analysis 2023
Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid (TRPV) channel is a subfamily of the TRP family of receptors that are animal cation channels. TRPV subfamily has six members – TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV3, TRPV4, TRPV5, and TRPV6. TRPV1-4 have non-selective cation conducting pores, while TRPV5 & 6 are calcium selective. TRPV1 is highly expressed in sensory neurons and is activated by Capsaicin, Protons, Toxins, and temperature above 42?C. It is physiologically essential for thermal perception and chemical nociception. TRPV2 has been associated with diseases like cancer. TRPV3 is associated with skin health and has gained importance due to it. TRPV4 has osmoregulation and mechano-transduction roles in the body. Both TRPV5 & TRPV6 are present in the apical membrane of the epithelial cells and act as a gateway for Ca2+ during absorption and reabsorption. TRPV5 is highly expressed in the kidney, while TRPV6 is expressed in various organs, including the intestine and placenta. Hence, these receptors play a very crucial role in the physiological roles of our body. Companies are trying to find new and novel molecules to prevent and cure these diseases. The development and launch of newer products by the market players will significantly enhance the revenue of the TRPV channels market over the forecast years. According to a research article, in 2022, about 3-17% of the population will suffer from Neuropathic pain.
Several of these inhibitors are on the market, while many are in ongoing clinical trials. companies have various products in their pipelines, with 52 products in various stages of clinical trials. 1 product is in Phase 4, 8 products are in Phase 3, 19 products are in Phase 2, and 5 products are in Phase 1 of the clinical trials.

Qutenza (8% Capsaicin), an agonist of TPRV Channels by Grunenthal, is marketed globally in many markets, including the USA, Europe, Canada, and others. It is indicated for treating neuropathic pain associated with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) of the feet in adults. It is also in the clinical trials for many other indications like neuropathies, including Diabetic Neuropathy, neuralgia, viral infections, and Peripheral Nerve Injuries in the later stages of the clinical trials. Resiniferatoxin (MCP-101), a potent functional analogue of capsaicin, has been designated a Breakthrough therapy for pain associated with knee osteoarthritis. It is in the 3rd phase of the clinical trial for many indications while also being evaluated for other indications.
