The global skeletal dysplasia market size was estimated to be USD 3.13 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 4.89 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 4.12% during the forecast period 2024-2034. Research and development (R&D) initiatives, advancements in genetic and molecular research, patient advocacy and awareness, collaboration and partnerships, and technological innovations will drive the market growth.
Greater emphasis on rare illnesses and orphan medications has resulted in increased funding for research and development. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms, as well as academic organizations, may be researching to better understand the genetic pathways behind skeletal dysplasia and create viable remedies. Genetic and molecular research approaches have improved our understanding of the genetic alterations linked to skeletal dysplasia. This understanding can aid in the development of targeted medicines and customized medicine. For instance, BioMarin announced in July 2023 that it has submitted a rolling Biologics License Application (BLA) to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Vimizet (pegvoritide) for the treatment of achondroplasia.
By type, the hypophosphatasia segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global skeletal dysplasia market in 2023 owing to the increasing prevalence of hypophosphatasia, heightened awareness, and early diagnosis, advancements in therapeutic interventions targeting this specific subtype, and the successful introduction of novel treatments that have garnered significant market acceptance and patient demand. For instance, in June 2023, Regeneron announced the start of Phase II clinical research to assess the safety and effectiveness of REGN289 for the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Additionally, the fibrodysplasia ossificans progressive segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing understanding of FOP pathogenesis, ongoing research initiatives focused on developing targeted therapies for this specific skeletal dysplasia subtype, rising investments in precision medicine approaches, and a growing emphasis on personalized treatment strategies.
By treatment, the surgery segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global skeletal dysplasia market in 2023 owing to the increasing demand for surgical interventions, such as limb-lengthening procedures, joint replacements, and spinal surgeries, to address skeletal abnormalities and improve the quality of life for individuals affected by skeletal dysplasia. For instance, in October 2023, Ipsen Pharma paid $370 million for Albireo, a rare illness business focused on pediatric liver ailments. A prospective therapy for progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC), a rare liver illness that can induce skeletal dysplasia, is in Albireo's pipeline. Additionally, the medication segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing focus on the development and commercialization of novel pharmaceutical interventions, including targeted therapies and disease-modifying drugs, for the treatment of skeletal dysplasia.
By distribution channel, the hospital pharmacies segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global skeletal dysplasia market in 2023 owing to the increasing prevalence of skeletal dysplasia cases diagnosed and treated in hospital settings, the centralized distribution of specialized medications and therapeutic interventions through hospital pharmacies, and the efficient coordination between healthcare professionals and patients within the hospital infrastructure. For instance, Ascendis Pharma A/S received FDA clearance in September 2023 for Natpara (parathyroid hormone) to treat hypophosphatemia associated with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), a skeletal dysplasia syndrome. Additionally, the online pharmacies segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing trend of digital healthcare adoption, the convenience and accessibility offered by online platforms, growing awareness among patients about skeletal dysplasia management, and advancements in secure e-commerce and prescription fulfillment technologies.
North American region is anticipated for the highest revenue share during the forecast period owing to the well-established healthcare infrastructure, a robust regulatory framework supporting research and development initiatives, high healthcare expenditure, and the presence of key pharmaceutical companies and research institutions actively engaged in advancing treatments for skeletal dysplasia. For instance, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited received FDA clearance for Vyndaqel (exondys 51) for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in December 2022. Vyndaqel can also help people with skeletal dysplasia improve their mobility. Additionally, the Asia Pacific region is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing prevalence of skeletal dysplasia, rising awareness, and diagnosis rates, expanding healthcare infrastructure, and a growing focus on research and development in the field of rare diseases.
This comprehensive research report focuses on the global and regional market size and forecasts from 2023 to 2034.
