FutureWise analysis indicates that in 2022, the market for Gaucher disease treatment was US$2.12 billion.
Gaucher disease (GD) is a metabolic disorder that affects the recycling of cellular glycolipids. It is caused by a lack of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase EC3.2.1.45 (also known as glucosyl ceramidase or acid beta-glucosidase [GBA]). In patients with GD, glucosylceramide (also known as glucocerebroside) and several related compounds normally degraded to glucose and lipid components by glucocerebrosidase accumulate within cell lysosomes. Treatment of GD is tailored to the individual patient because of the variability in the manifestations, severity, progression of the disease, and treatment response.GD was the first inherited metabolic disorder to be treated with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). Additional treatments include substrate reduction therapy (SRT) and supportive care measures to manage associated conditions.
Individuals with Gaucher disease experience different symptoms. Some patients of Gaucher disease exhibit just minor symptoms or none at all. Symptoms in other people can result in critical health issues and even death. Type 2 and 3 of Gaucher's illness also result in neurological (brain) issues in addition to symptoms affecting the blood, organs, and bones. These signs appear within the first six months of life in newborns with Gaucher disease type 2. At birth, they could have abnormalities in their skin. Gaucher disease type 3 symptoms start to show at the age of 10, and they get worse over time. Type 1 Gaucher disease is curable with consistent therapy. For instance, Type 1 treatments either raise enzyme levels or lower the fatty substance that builds up in the body as a result of Gaucher disease. However, the neurological damage caused by types 2 and 3 of Gaucher disease is incurable.
Lysosomal disease's increasing prevalence is anticipated to be a key factor, accelerating the market's growth pace. When an enzyme is deficient, lysosomal storage diseases, which are inherited metabolic illnesses, result in an abnormal build-up of several dangerous substances in the body's cells. Patients with Gaucher disease type I have shown to benefit from enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). Significant improvements have been made in skeletal anomalies, liver and spleen enlargement, and anaemia with low platelet counts. When receiving ERT, people with Gaucher disease types II and III also experience improvements in these systemic symptoms. In the next years, the market is anticipated to expand due to the aforementioned causes. Gaucher disease physical symptoms and indications vary widely from patient to patient. Some individuals have few or no symptoms, while others may experience severe repercussions that limit the expansion of the gaucher disease treatment market's income. In addition, less effective treatment choices like substrate reduction therapy and enzyme replacement therapy have a detrimental effect on the treatment market. Market expansion is anticipated to be hampered by the high cost of the therapy, a lack of public awareness, and poor reimbursement policies. Additionally, more R&D activities are being conducted and investment in advanced technologies are increased which are providing opportunities for key players existing in the market.
