Fabry Disease Treatment Market Scope and Overview 2019 to 2025

The global fabry disease treatment market size is estimated to reach a value of USD 3.12 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., exhibiting a CAGR of 9.6% during the forecast period. Rising cohort of Fabry disease, increasing adoption of novel therapies such as chaperone treatment, and potential approval of pipeline drugs including substrate reduction therapies and enzyme replacement therapies are providing a fillip to the market.

Fabry disease is a rare inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by genetic mutation that interferes with function of alpha galactosidase enzyme. Fabry disease generally has a late onset with mild symptoms, due to which several patients are often undiagnosed. Standard of care for management of the disease is enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). Sanofi’s Fabrazyme and Shire’s Replagal are the only approved ERTs in the EU; however in the U.S., only Fabrazyme has been approved.
Focus of current clinical trials is to improve the safety and efficacy profile of ERTs and introduction of novel oral therapies that can eliminate the need for intravenous infusions. Recently, Amicus Therapeutics’ Galafold has been approved as the first oral chaperone therapy for the treatment of adults in the U.S., Canada, EU, Japan, Australia, Israel, and South Korea.
North America held the largest share in the Fabry disease treatment market in 2017, followed by Europe. The growth of the region can be attributed to higher adoption of novel therapies, favorable reimbursement policies, and better healthcare facilities. However, high cost of therapy with ERTs such as Fabrazyme is an impediment for the market in developing regions.

Hunter Syndrome Treatment Market Overview by Business Manufactures with Forecast Analysis 2019-2025

The global hunter syndrome treatment market size is estimated to reach a value of USD 1.4 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., registering a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period. Rising patient population living with Hunter syndrome, increasing healthcare expenses, and potential approval of pipeline drugs worldwide are some of the major factors fueling market growth.

Hunter syndrome, which is also known as mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II), is caused by iduronate-2-sulfatase enzyme deficiency. The treatment mainly focuses on management of symptoms, indications, and disease progression-associated complications, since there is no permanent cure for Hunter syndrome. Existing treatment includes enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Disease diagnosis is usually determined by a blood test for iduronate-2-sulfatase deficiency and occurs early in life based on the appearance of skeletal abnormalities.
Enzyme replacement therapy held the largest share among current treatment options in the market. This can be attributed to strong revenue generated by Shire’s ELAPRASE, an ERT prescribed worldwide to improve walking capacity and reduce spleen volume in patients of 5 years of age and older.
North America led the Hunter syndrome treatment market in 2017 with a share of close to 40.0%. This can be attributed to developed healthcare facilities in the region and increased investment in R&D of novel therapies. While novel treatments including ERTs and HSCTs are gaining penetration in developed markets, high cost of therapy poses as a hurdle in developing regions.
