GBI Research found that the global orphan disease therapeutics in genetic disorders market was worth $1.5 billion in 2010, having grown from $559m in 2004 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 17.3%. It is expected to increase to $4.1 billion by 2018, growing at a CAGR of 13.8% over the period from 2010. This high rate of growth in the historic period can be attributed to the entry of novel, highly priced therapies into markets with high unmet need. These include Myozyme for Pompe disease and enzyme replacement therapies for Fabry disease, which have high costs of over $200,000 per patient per year. More highly-priced therapies are expected in the forecast period, to further drive growth. The recent approval of Kalydeco in CF and the expected approval of exon-skipping therapies for DMD are examples of this. Competitive activity is also increasing as larger companies realize the rewards of investing in orphan therapeutics, and the high unmet need and low competition in many markets is expected to attract more into the space in the future.
