Potential to Treat Rare Diseases Drives North America Biopharmaceuticals Market
According to the National Institute of Health (NIH) report, 30 million Americans, accounting for 10% of the population, have one of the ~7,000 known rare diseases. Developing medicines for treating these rare diseases presents both scientific and operational challenges. Complex biology associated with rare diseases presents challenges for scientists to design and implement new drug development programs. However, despite these challenges, biopharmaceutical researchers in the North Americas have developed new technologies for treating rare diseases and developing groundbreaking therapies. Moreover, in the last decade, 350 orphan drugs have been approved by USFDA, particularly for conditions lacking treatment or having limited treatment options. Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a life-threatening, progressive cardiovascular rare disease characterized by the abnormal functioning of the heart, causing infiltrative cardiomyopathy. Once diagnosed, the median life expectancy is only ~2.5-3.5 years if left untreated. Further, biopharmaceuticals company Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. is engaged in the safety testing and dosage determination of molecules developed to treat Glycogen Storage Disease (GSD) type 3, a serious rare and ultra-genetic disease. The company initiated the clinical studies of UX053 in December 2021 to launch it as the first potential medicine for treating patients living with GSD3. The UX053 mRNA can deliver large genes to targeted cells for achieving a high uniformity of protein expression. The company plans to individualize mRNA therapies based on the needs of each patient through the adjustment of dose levels and frequency. Such clinical developments, launches, and approvals are accelerating the North America biopharmaceuticals market expansion.North America Biopharmaceuticals Market Overview
The North America biopharmaceuticals market is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The market growth in this region is attributed to the increasing incidence of cancer, growing product introduction in the region, and technological advancements in biopharmaceuticals. The biopharmaceuticals industry is at a pivotal stage in medical research with tremendous potential to further revolutionize the treatment of costly and debilitating diseases such as Alzheimer's, cancer, heart disease, and hepatitis C. The rising burden of chronic diseases and increased investment in research and development activities in the US are driving the market in the region. The biopharmaceuticals industry makes important contributions to the US economy. The US leads the world in most R&D investment and innovation indices. As of 2020, biopharmaceutical companies in the United States have more than 3,400 drugs in clinical development, accounting for almost half of the estimated 8,000 drugs worldwide (of which 1,100 are being developed to treat various types of cancer). The biopharmaceuticals industry makes important contributions to the US economy by creating direct economic activities and supporting indirect activities. Pharmaceutical and medical manufacturing accounted for 0.95% of private sector value added in 2018. Biotech R&D facilities accounted for another 0.23%. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), updated in July 2022, shows that coronary artery disease is the most common form of heart disease. Approximately 20.1 million adults aged 20 and older in the United States suffer from this condition. According to CDC data, someone suffers a heart attack every 40 seconds, and nearly 805,000 people in the US suffer a heart attack annually. All these factors are expected to boost the North America biopharmaceuticals market growth significantly during the forecast period.North America Biopharmaceuticals Market Revenue and Forecast to 2028 (US$ Billion)
