This LYFGENIA market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising healthcare expenditure, increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases, growing need for effective treatments, increasing in production of cell-based therapies, growing R&D initiatives, and clinical trials. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in drug development, advancements in medical technology, a shift towards personalized medicine, advancements in gene editing, and the integration of AI in clinical trials.

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic blood disorder caused by the production of abnormal hemoglobin, leading to the formation of rigid, crescent-shaped red blood cells. These misshapen cells can block blood flow, causing pain, organ damage, and an increased risk of infections. The condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning a person must inherit two copies of the sickle cell gene one from each parent for the disease to manifest. The prevalence of sickle cell anemia is on the rise, with estimates indicating that approximately 275,000 babies are born with sickle cell disease (SCD) each year. This number is projected to exceed 400,000 by 2050, according to the Perth Blood Institute, an Australia-based nonprofit. As a result, the growing prevalence of the disease is driving the expansion of the LYFGENIA market. LYFGENIA, a gene therapy designed to treat sickle cell anemia, works by correcting the genetic mutation in a patient's stem cells, which enables the production of healthy hemoglobin. This prevents the sickling of red blood cells, reduces symptoms, and lowers the need for blood transfusions.

The rise in chronic conditions is also expected to contribute significantly to the growth of the LYFGENIA market. Chronic conditions are long-term health issues that persist for a year or more, often requiring ongoing medical care or limiting daily activities. This increase in chronic conditions is largely attributed to factors such as aging populations, sedentary lifestyles, poor dietary habits, and rising obesity and stress levels. LYFGENIA can help manage these conditions by providing targeted treatments that improve patient outcomes, enhance quality of life, and reduce the overall burden of long-term care. According to a report from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, the age-standardized death rate linked to chronic conditions increased steadily, from 448 per 100,000 in 2023 to 490 per 100,000 in 2022, highlighting the growing impact of these health issues. This trend is further boosting the demand for innovative treatments such as LYFGENIA.

Innovation in therapies for sickle cell disease is another key driver of market growth. Curative gene therapies are emerging as a promising treatment option for sickle cell disease, aiming to address the root cause of the condition at the genetic level. These therapies work by modifying a patient's genetic material to correct the defective genes responsible for the disease. LYFGENIA, for example, is a one-time gene therapy designed to treat sickle cell disease in patients aged 12 and older who have a history of vaso-occlusive events. In December 2023, Bluebird Bio, a U.S.-based biotechnology company, received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for LYFGENIA. This approval marks a significant step forward in offering long-term, or potentially permanent, solutions to patients with sickle cell disease, further driving the growth of the LYFGENIA market.

The key company operating in the lyfgenia market is Bluebird bio Inc.

North America was the largest region in the LYFGENIA market in 2024. The regions covered in LYFGENIA report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

The countries covered in the LYFGENIA market report are Australia, India, China, South Korea, Japan, UK, France, Germany, USA, Canada.

LYFGENIA is a gene therapy approved for use in treating sickle cell disease in individuals aged 12 and older who have experienced vaso-occlusive events (VOEs). The therapy aims to address enzyme deficiencies or enhance deficient metabolic pathways, helping to alleviate symptoms and improve the overall quality of life for those with rare inherited disorders.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The primary use of LYFGENIA is for the treatment of sickle cell disease and the management of its associated symptoms. Traditional sickle cell disease treatment often involves pain management, blood transfusions, hydroxyurea, and, in some cases, stem cell or bone marrow transplants to address symptoms and complications. LYFGENIA is available in various formulations, including intravenous injections and lyophilized powder for reconstitution. It is used across different age groups - pediatric, adult, and geriatric and distributed through multiple channels, including direct sales, wholesalers, distributors, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies. It is also utilized in various healthcare settings, such as hospitals, specialty clinics, hematology clinics, and research institutions.

The LYFGENIA market consists of sales of lovotibeglogene autotemcel and companion products. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).

The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.
