Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Market

Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Market Research, 2031

The global sickle cell disease treatment market size was valued at $1.1 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $1.6 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.1% from 2022 to 2031. Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a category of inherited red blood cell disorders, which is caused by genetic mutation that affects the hemoglobin. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin that carries the oxygen. In sickle cell disease, the red blood cells are affected and become sickle shape, which leads to abnormal hemoglobin and improper blood flow. Shortness of breath and fatigue are the two common symptoms of sickle cell disease. Hydroxyurea and Endari are the only two drugs approved for sickle cell disease treatment. Moreover, the upcoming commercialization of promising pipeline drugs, such as voxelotor, CTX001 and Mitapivat is expected to drive the market growth.

The COVID-19 negatively impacts growth of the sickle cell disease treatment market due to decline in hospitalizations, ER visits, duration of stay, and decrease in people who receive routine follow-up care from a hematologist for sickle cell disease during COVID-19

The increase in prevalence of sickle cell disease is the key factor that drives the global sickle cell disease treatment market growth. In addition, increase in government support for healthcare infrastructure improvements and robust research and development (R&D) initiatives further boost the growth of the market. Moreover, rise in initiatives taken by government of various countries such as U.S. and Africa for promoting access programs for sickle cell disease patients drive the growth of the market. For instance, in Ghana, program was launched in 2019 for expanding the treatment for sickle cell disease.

However, high cost of treatment associated with sickle cell disease and side effects associated with sickle cell disease drugs such as headache, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, rash, and fever are expected to hamper the growth of the sickle cell disease treatment market. In contrast, increase in investments by key players toward R&D related to sickle cell disease treatment is expected to provide beneficial sickle cell disease treatment market opportunity.

Impact of COVID-19

The outbreak of COVID-19 disrupted workflows in the healthcare sector across the world. The disease has forced a number of industries to shut their doors temporarily, including several sub-domains of healthcare. However, there has also been a negative effect on sickle cell disease treatment market, including decrease in sales of sickle cell disease drugs. In addition, disruption of supply chain for sickle cell disease drugs during COVID-19 restrains the market growth. Furthermore, decrease in hospital admissions due to lockdown is expected to negatively impact the sickle cell disease treatment industry.

Moreover, the market was anticipated to witness recovery in 2021, and show stable growth for sickle cell disease treatment in the coming future. Furthermore, decrease in hospitalizations, ER visits, duration of stay, and opiate use for sickle cell disease during COVID-19 also hamper the market growth. For instance, according to American Society of Hematology (ASH), the inpatient admission for sickle cell disease treatment decreased to 79 in 2020 from 107 in 2019. Thus, COVID-19 negatively impacts on the sickle cell disease treatment industry.

SICKLE CELL DISESAE TREATMENT MARKET SEGMENTATION

The sickle cell disease treatment market size is segmented into drug type, type, route of administration, and region. Depending on drug type, the market is categorized into hydroxyurea, oxbryta, adakveo, and others. By type, it is classified into s sickle cell anemia or HbSS, HbSc, and others. On the basis of route of administration, it is classified into oral and parenteral. Region-wise, the market is analyzed across North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, France, UK, Italy, Spain, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (Japan, China, Australia, India, South Korea, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Brazil, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and rest of LAMEA).

Segment Review

Depending on drug type, the market is segmented into hydroxyurea, oxbryta, adakveo, and others. The hydroxyurea segment dominated the global sickle cell disease treatment market share in 2021. Hydroxyurea is an ideal drug for sickle cell anemia and provides therapeutic benefit through multiple mechanism of action, which drives the growth of the segment. However, the adakveo segment is projected to exhibit the fastest market growth during the forecast period. This is attributed to rise in consumption of Adakveo drug for the treatment of condition vaso-occulsive crisis (VOC) occurred due to sickle cell disease, which further rises demand for Adakveo during forecast period.

On the basis of type, the market is segmented into sickle cell anemia or HbSS, HbSC, and others (HbS beta thalassemia, HbSD, HbSE, and HbSO). The sickle cell anemia segment accounted for the largest revenue in 2021 and is expected to remain dominant during sickle cell disease treatment market forecast period, owing to rise in complications associated with of sickle cell anemia, such as hemolysis and vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC).

On the basis of route of administration, the market is segmented into oral and parenteral. The oral segment accounted for the largest revenue in 2021, owing to high adoption of orally drugs due to noninvasive, high patient compliance, convenient to handle, and does not require any specific sterile conditions. For instance, hydroxyurea are available in tablet and capsule form, which is administer by oral route in the patients of sickle cell disease.

Region-wise, North America acquired a major sickle cell disease treatment market share in 2021, owing to the presence of key players, rising government initiatives, well-developed healthcare infrastructure, and rising prevalence of sickle cell disease. In addition, product approvals for sickle cell disease further boost the market growth. For instance, in 2017, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the product, Endari for sickle cell disease treatment for patients aged between 5 years and older.

However, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth rate for the sickle cell disease treatment market during the forecast period with a CAGR of 5.7%. The major factor that drives the growth of the sickle cell disease treatment market in this region includes, increase in prevalence of sickle cell disease. In addition, technological advancements and increase in government initiatives to promote healthy lifestyle drive the market growth. Moreover, development of new therapies for sickle cell disease and government support to pipeline drugs for sickle cell disease further propel the market growth.
