The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for effective treatments for growth hormone insensitivity, increasing adoption of personalized medicine, rising clinical trials to expand therapeutic applications, rising regulatory approvals for innovative formulations, growing healthcare infrastructure in emerging economies, and rising awareness about pediatric growth disorders globally. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in recombinant DNA technology, improvement in delivery systems for subcutaneous injections, advancements in patient monitoring solutions, integration of telemedicine for patient follow-up, and advancements in drug delivery systems.
The growing prevalence of childhood-onset growth hormone deficiency (CGHD) is expected to drive the growth of the increlex market. CGHD occurs when the body does not produce enough growth hormone during childhood, resulting in slower growth and shorter stature. Factors such as advancements in diagnostic methods and increased awareness of the condition have contributed to the rise in CGHD cases. As awareness and diagnosis of CGHD increase, the demand for Increlex, a synthetic IGF-1 treatment, is also growing, as more children are receiving the necessary therapy. For example, in November 2023, the Council of Health Insurance in Saudi Arabia estimated that childhood-onset growth hormone deficiency affects between 1 in 3,500 and 1 in 10,000 children, with boys being more commonly affected. This increase in CGHD prevalence is driving the expansion of the increlex market.
Rising healthcare expenditure is anticipated to propel the growth of the increlex market as well. Healthcare expenditure refers to the total financial resources spent on medical services, treatments, medications, and hospital care over a specific period. Factors such as an aging population, increased healthcare needs, advancements in medical technology, and rising service and medication costs are contributing to the rise in healthcare spending. As healthcare expenditure increases, access to advanced treatments such as increlex becomes more widely available, further driving market growth. For instance, a report from the Office for National Statistics in May 2024 showed a 5.6% increase in total healthcare expenditure in the UK from 2022 to 2023, compared to a mere 0.9% growth in 2022. This rising healthcare expenditure is expected to boost the increlex market.
In October 2024, Eton Pharmaceuticals Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical company, acquired increlex (mecasermin injection) from Ipsen S.A. for an undisclosed amount. Ipsen will continue to distribute Increlex for six months before Eton assumes responsibility for global commercialization. This acquisition will allow Eton to expand its portfolio while ensuring that access to Increlex remains uninterrupted. Ipsen S.A., a pharmaceutical company based in France, specializes in the development of drugs such as Increlex.
