The global Pompe disease market size is anticipated to expand at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to its ongoing use of long-term treatments, the introduction of new medicines, and the high cost of treatment.

Pompe disease is a hereditary condition in which the body's cells accumulate a complex substance called glycogen. The disorder is caused by a lack of an enzyme called acid alfa glucosidase (GAA), which helps the body break down complex sugars. Organs and tissues, particularly muscles, get clogged, leading them to break down. This disease is caused by mutations in the GAA gene, which aids in the breakdown of glycogen. Pompe disease is divided into three categories. Classic infantile onset occurs within a few months of birth, non-classic infantile onset occurs around the age of one year, and late-onset occurs later in a child's life, maybe even into teen years or adulthood. As this is a hereditary disorder, those who develop it acquire it from one of their parents. However, it is very uncommon for neither parent to exhibit any signs or symptoms. It is a rare condition. Pompe disease affects 1 out of every 40,000 people in the United States. It can affect both men and women from all ethnic backgrounds.
The enzymes in the blood are examined and counted when a blood sample is collected. Sleep studies, lung capacity tests, and electromyography are some of the other tests available (a test that measures how well the muscles work). The enzymes in the blood are examined and measured when a blood sample is collected. DNA testing is used to confirm the findings. Other tests include taking of a complete patient and family history, breathing tests to measure lung capacity (pulmonary function tests), Electromyography (a test that measures how well the muscles work) and MRIs, Heart studies, including X-rays, electrocardiogram and echocardiogram, Sleep studies. All individuals with Pompe disease are eligible for enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). Intravenously (through a vein in the patient), alglucosidase alfa is administered. It is a genetically modified enzyme that replicates the acid alpha glucosidase enzyme found naturally in the body. For people with Pompe disease, specialist teams (cardiologists, respiratory therapists, neurologists, and others) can treat symptoms and provide supportive care. Inquire about the specifics of your situation with your physicians. Infants with Pompe disease will lead to death if they are not treated. Many patients with Pompe disease have respiratory (breathing) issues, cardiac issues, and muscular weakness.
