The Global Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Market size is expected to reach $7.3 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 27.9% CAGR during the forecast period.
According to a study by NCBI in 2021, the disease can expose patients to up to 18 VOCs per year. The increasing prevalence of SCD and the efficacy of the products used to treat the disease in decreasing the risk of VOCs are boosting the product's usage among the patient population. Therefore, The Bone Marrow Transplant segment would capture 1/5thshare in the market by 2030, as the incidence of SCD disease has been rising more quickly. Vaso-occlusive crisis is a frequent and excruciating complication of sickle cell disease in adolescents and adults. By replacing the patient's diseased bone marrow with healthy donor marrow, this procedure can effectively eliminate the root cause of SCD, which is the production of abnormal hemoglobin. It causes episodes of acute, excruciating pain causing patients, including infants and adults, to seek urgent medical care.
The major strategies followed by the market participants are Partnerships as the key developmental strategy to keep pace with the changing demands of end users. For instance, In June, 2022, Novartis AG came into partnership with Precision BioSciences, Inc, to develop solutions for in vivo gene editing. Through the partnership, Novartis AG would be better positioned to provide effective treatment for patients with hemoglobinopathies. Additionally, In November, 2021, Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc. partnered with UpScript IP Holdings, LLC, to provide telehealth solutions for patients with sickle cell disease.
Based on the Analysis presented in the KBV Cardinal matrix; Pfizer Inc. is the forerunner in the Market. Companies such as Novo Nordisk A/S, Novartis AG, Bristol Myers Squibb Company are some of the key innovators in the Market. In October, 2019, Novo Nordisk A/S signed a partnership with bluebird bio, Inc, to develop in vivo genome editing treatments for inherited diseases. Through the partnership, Novo Nordisk would be better positioned to develop disease-modifying medicines.
Workflows in the healthcare industry were hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic all over the world. Several industries, including several sub-domains of healthcare, were compelled to close temporarily due to the disease outbreak. A further factor limiting market expansion was the disruption of the sickle cell disease drug supply chain during COVID-19. Additionally, the lockdown had a detrimental effect on hospital admissions, affecting the market. In the later phases of the pandemic, the growth of the blood transfusion and bone marrow transplant industries returned to normal due to a rise in population vaccination, the implementation of stringent COVID-19 guidelines, and the lifting of travel restrictions. Therefore, the pandemic had a significant negative impact on the market.
Earlier, blood transfusions and bone marrow transplants were the only treatments for SCD. The increasing prevalence and awareness of the disease boosted the demand for alternative, effective treatment types. Major players have increased their emphasis on introducing new products to treat this disease to meet market demand. Endari was the first branded drug to be approved in decades, before which there was a limited emphasis on innovation in devising a treatment for the disease. Sickle cell disease patients without a suitable donor may be cured by genetic therapies that alter their own hematopoietic stem cells. Such development increases the number of available treatments for SCD and may cover a large proportion of patient base, and thus, aids in the growth of the market.
Leaders in the pharmaceutical research industry are now exploring to implement efficient ways of doing the RD processes, for which machine learning appear to be a promising solution. The top pharmaceutical companies in the world are using machine learning to better the hit-and-miss process of discovering new treatments. In addition, many large pharmaceutical companies are investigating the potential of big data to speed up the drug discovery process. This would lead to smaller, quicker, and more affordable trials overall. For greater safety, ML can also be used for remote monitoring and real-time data access. Therefore, the advancement of clinical trials and R&D in the pharma sector with ML, which enables faster and more effective drug development, will propel the market growth.
Hydroxyurea and a few branded medications are the pharmacotherapy used to treat sickle cell disease. Numerous healthcare professionals recommend hydroxyurea as the first-line treatment for the disease. However, the absence of treatment options in countries and regions around the world stands out as a significant constraining factor. Despite its inclusion on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines for Children, hydroxyurea is still unavailable in the region. In addition, the substance is considered too costly in Africa. In addition, the lack of awareness of the disease among the population in developing economies can hinder the development of the market during the forecast period.
By treatment, the market is categorized into blood transfusion, pharmacotherapy, and bone marrow transplant. The bone marrow transplant segment covered a considerable revenue share in the market in 2022. The segment has experienced rapid expansion due to the emergence of new, branded pharmaceutical medications and growing government incentives to launch these drugs early. The government provides funding and designations such as orphan pharmaceuticals, fast track, and priority review, among others, to support sickle cell disease research.
Based on end-use, the market is classified into hospitals, specialty clinics, and others. In 2022 the hospitals segment witnessed the largest revenue share in the market. The primary centres for disease diagnosis and treatment are hospitals. Most blood transfusions and bone marrow transplants are performed in hospitals. In addition, superior healthcare services, a large patient pool, and an enhanced healthcare infrastructure are some of the primary reasons for the segment's large market share.
