The global hereditary angioedema therapeutic market size was valued at USD 2.2 billion in 2018 and is anticipated to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2021-2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing number of cases for hereditary angioedema.

Hereditary angioedema is a genetic disorder characterized from multiple recurring episodes of swelling known as angioedema. These swells happen in certain areas of the body such as the limbs, intestinal tract, airway, and face. Normally stress to minor trauma can trigger an attack, but swelling of the limbs can take place without known triggers. The swelling in the airway is especially dangerous considering it can restrict the host’s breathing leading to life-threatening obstruction. Mutation in genes can cause hereditary angioedema which can vary upon individuals. People facing malnutrition or people with limited immunities are more susceptible to this disease over others. According to the World Health Organization or the WHO and the National Organization for Rare Disorders or the NORD census report, about one in every nine people in any environment or condition can be affected by hereditary angioedema.
The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced the growth of the global hereditary angioedema therapeutic market initially. However, upon further studies, researchers and scientists found out that the coronavirus has the viral gene of accelerating illness of the hosts. Basically, a patient of hereditary angioedema was more susceptible to the COVID-19 virus than that of a healthy person. This steered to hospitals, clinics, and healthcare laboratories to focus more on hereditary angioedema therapies for the prevention and treatment of diseases and this led to its market growth in the later stages of this pandemic.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Increase in occurrences of hereditary angioedema along with the different innovative methods to treat this disorder is the primary reason for the projection of boosting the global hereditary angioedema therapeutic market growth during the forecast period, 2021-2028.
- There has been a rapid growth in the investment & funding towards the research & development activities towards hereditary angioedema therapeutic from the biopharmaceutical companies, which propels the market expansion in the coming years.
- High prices for the development of hereditary angioedema therapeutic equipment and high cost of services from the company’s perspective is anticipated to hinder the global hereditary angioedema therapeutic market growth. This becomes extremely difficult to function in developing countries such as India, South Africa and Brazil where there is limited healthcare infrastructure.
- Hereditary angioedema has been misdiagnosed by even the most educated doctors and physicians as this disease appears in different forms for different patients. This uncertainty could hinder the market growth.
- R&D activities along with studies have shown that the reasoning behind the misdiagnosis of hereditary angioedema is that they shared the same symptoms of other disorders such as gastrointestinal and appendicitis. New methods and innovations including the gene therapy has helped doctors and physicians to not only identify hereditary angioedema but also treat this disease according to the patients DNA and gene structure.
