Fabry Disease Treatment Market Size, Share & Industry | 2031

Report Description

Fabry Disease Treatment Market Outlook 2031

The global Fabry disease treatment market size was valued at USD 2.16 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 4.81 billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 9.3 % during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The market growth is attributed to the increasing incidence of the disease coupled with the increasing adoption of novel therapies such, as chaperone treatment.

Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage illness that causes progressive organ failure due to a lack of the alpha-galactosidase enzyme. An abnormal buildup of a specific fatty substance named globotriaosylceramide in numerous human tissues, including eyes, skin, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, brain, heart, and central nervous system, causes this condition.

The Fabry disease does not have any viable treatments before enzyme replacement therapy, and the typical lifetime of a patient suffering from Fabry was up to 50 years. The disease's late onset and mild symptoms lead to several patients being undiagnosed.

Sanofi estimates that approximately 3,000 patients in the US suffer from Fabry disease. Patients with Fabry disease live longer lives on average than patients with other lysosomal storage disorders.

The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the market significantly, as owing to the lockdown the supply chain system has been suspended. This has resulted in a limited healthcare workforce and limitations in outpatient services. Moreover, it has also impacted clinical research, for instance, according to the U.S. National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) 2020, nearly 98% of respondents were seriously concerned by the pandemic owing to various reasons. Among them, 95% of families were influenced by the pandemic, and more than 50% were having medical appointments replaced with telephone or video calls. The report further reveals that three out of five respondents expressed concerns about a shortage of medical supplies.

Fabry Disease Treatment Market Dynamics

Major Drivers 

Increasing R&D activities and the potential approval of promising pipeline drugs such as substrate reduction and enzyme replacement therapies are expected to propel the market during the period.

For instance, on May 22, 2023, Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc. a genomic medicine company, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track Designation to isaralgagene civaparvovec, or ST-920, a wholly owned gene therapy product candidate for the treatment of Fabry disease.

Moreover, rising strategic collaboration and licensing agreement between the companies is expected to fuel the market during the forecast period. For instance, on April 4, 2023, Chiesi Global Rare Diseases, a business unit of the Chiesi Group established to deliver innovative therapies and solutions for treating rare diseases, collaborated with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization, to deliver new mental health resources to patients suffering from Fabry disease.

Existing Restraints

Lack of awareness about Fabry disease among individuals is expected to delay the treatment and diagnosis is expected to restrain the market. Patients with Fabry disease face various challenges which in turn affect the quality of life. Individuals not having Fabry disease are not aware of the seriousness of its symptoms and the difficulties faced by the same. Thereby restraining the market. 

Emerging Opportunities

Advancements in therapies as well as in clinical trials related to Fabry disease and early recognition are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market. Therapies including plant-derived ERTs, gene therapy, and substate reduction are some of the examples. Moreover, early recognition is important to prevent complications related to the disease. For instance, cardiac involvement in Fabry disease and its early recognition helps to prevent the risks.

• On June 21, 2023, AceLink Therapeutics’ Phase 2 trial testing AL1211 as a treatment for Fabry disease has been cleared to launch by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The trial will evaluate AL1211’s safety and pharmacological properties in men diagnosed with classic Fabry disease who are willing to switch from their standard enzyme replacement therapy.

Fabry Disease Market Segment Insights

Treatment Segment Analysis 

Based on treatment, the market is segmented into enzyme replacement therapy, chaperone treatment, substrate reduction therapy, and others. The enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) segment is expected to account for a key market share during the forecast period owing to strong sales of Fabrazyme and Replagal, as well as the potential approval of promising pipeline candidates. Moreover, Sanofi's Fabrazyme and Shire's Replagal have received European approval, only Fabrazyme has received approval in the US.

Clinical trials are focusing on improving the safety and efficacy profile of ERTs, as well as the development of innovative oral medicines that can replace intravenous infusions. ERT is the gold standard for illness management. Galafold, a drug developed by Amicus Therapeutics, was recently licensed in the US, Canada, the European Union, Japan, Australia, Israel, and South Korea, as the first oral chaperone medication for adult patients.
