DUBLIN, Jan. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The “Global Markets for Orphan Drugs” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The global orphan drugs market was valued at an estimated $233.9 billion in 2023. This market is projected to reach $415.2 billion by the end of 2028, growing at a CAGR of 12.2% during the forecast period. Growth factors include the increased involvement of pharmaceutical companies in developing orphan drugs, the growing number of new approvals and the increased global availability of these drugs.
Orphan drugs have paved the way for the treatment of the many unmet clinical and therapeutic needs of patients with orphan and rare diseases such as Gaucher’s disease, Pompe disease, cystic fibrosis, Hunter syndrome, tuberous sclerosis complex and chronic myelogenous leukemia. These developments have spurred pharmaceutical and biotech companies such as Roche, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Merck & Co., and Pfizer to invest in and develop orphan and rare disease therapies and drugs.
In contrast to developing drugs for prevalent disorders, creating medications for orphan diseases can be more difficult. Pharmaceutical companies face several fundamental challenges when developing orphan drugs such as a lack of standard comparator drugs, a lack of clear understanding of pathophysiology or natural history, a lack of scientific evidence, and a lack of validated preclinical models.
The small patient pool presents challenges that frequently lead to inadequate patient participation and impact the evaluation of clinical trial outcomes in patients with rare diseases. These patients frequently exhibit a great deal of variability in their clinical presentation and histories, with factors such as age, disease severity, and progression influencing reported outcomes.
The orphan drug market has emerged as a niche business of the pharmaceutical industry. This market’s primary growth factors include incentives for orphan drug sponsors, tax breaks, market exclusivity, grants programs for clinical studies, funds for the development of orphan products, and multiple indication approvals. The sequencing of the human genetic code, which created a better understanding of human metabolism and the role of genetics in the manifestation of disease, also played a significant role in the development of the orphan drug market.
By region, North America dominates the global orphan drug market due to growth factors such as advanced healthcare infrastructure and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-sponsored grant programs for the development of potential therapeutic compounds through its Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD). The European market, with its well-established orphan drug legal framework, is also expanding. Growth factors include multiple post-market safety and efficacy clinical trials and the commission of potential orphan drugs through patient networks such as the European Organization for Rare Diseases (EURORDIS).
The Asia-Pacific pharmaceutical market offers potential as countries such as Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea have implemented legal legislations akin to the U.S. Orphan Drug Act. The main growth factors in this emerging regional market are patient awareness programs, global connectivity through rare disease patient organizations and the availability of orphan drugs through joint collaborations.
