Hemoglobinopathies Market Dynamics:

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2022 estimates each year over 300,000 babies with severe forms of diseases are born worldwide, the majority in low and middle-income countries. Also, approximately 5% of the world’s population are healthy carriers of a gene for sickle-cell disease (SCD) or thalassemia. The percentage of people who are carriers of the gene is as high as 25% in some regions. Further, these conditions are most prevalent in tropical regions; however, population migration has spread these diseases to most countries. As per the same source, Thalassaemia is one of the most common diseases in Asia, the Mediterranean basin, and the Middle East and Sickle-cell disease predominates in Africa.

Furthermore, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the latest data stated that sickle cell anemia affects approximately 100,000 Americans, every year. Also, SCD occurs among about 1 out of every 365 Black or African-American births and SCD occurs among about 1 out of every 16,300 Hispanic-American births.

Moreover, the clinical trials of hemoglobinopathies are expected to significantly advance the drug development process. For instance, in August 2022, Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated started a Phase IIIb study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single dose of autologous CRISPR Cas9 modified CD34+ human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (CTX001) in subjects with transfusion-dependent ß-thalassemia or severe sickle cell disease. The trial is anticipated to get completed by February 2025. Therefore, such trials will increase the chance of accessibility of hemoglobinopathies drugs during the forecast period which may create a rewarding chance for the key players to cater to the maximum market and make enormous revenue. Henceforth, the market of hemoglobinopathies will grow during the forecast period from 2022 - 2027.

Lastly, the rising investment in the development of novel therapies is further expected to provide impetus to market growth in the upcoming years. Also, major biopharmaceutical players are collaborating to develop novel therapeutics for hemoglobinopathies using the latest technology platforms. For instance, Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc. and Bioverativ have collaborated to develop therapeutics for hemoglobinopathies.

Therefore, the factors stated above collectively will drive the overall hemoglobinopathies market throughout the forecast period from 2022-2027.

However, the high cost of drug development and launches, low awareness regarding hemoglobinopathies, and stringent regulatory approval process may halt the market growth of hemoglobinopathies.

The hemoglobinopathies market was moderately impacted during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the initial stage of the pandemic, the sale of hemoglobinopathies suffered collapse owing to the imposition of strict lockdown rules, disruption in manufacturing, and supply. However, the government classified medicines and drugs under emergency products during the pandemic, thereby leading to an increase in their demand or sales. However, the ease of lockdown restrictions, the upturn of resources and supply chain, the administration of a vaccine to the public, and with the increasing number of treatment rates for hemoglobin disorders, the demand for hemoglobinopathies increases and is anticipated to do the same during the forecast period from 2022 - 2027.

Hemoglobinopathies Market Segment Analysis:

Hemoglobinopathies Market by Indication (Thalassemia, Sickle Cell Anaemia, and Others), Treatment (Stem Cell Therapy, Blood Transfusion, Iron Chelation Therapy, and Others), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).

In the treatment segment of the hemoglobinopathies market, the stem cell therapy segment is expected to have a significant revenue share in the year 2021. This was primarily owing to the efficiency offered by stem cell therapy in the treatment of hemoglobinopathies. Moreover, stem cell therapy also offers lesser side effects as compared to other treatments. Also, the expanding launches and strategic investments, and other activities by the key players will drive the market growth during the forecast period.

For instance, stem cell therapy is generally only considered in children with sickle cell disease who have severe symptoms that have not responded to other treatments, when the long-term benefits of a transplant are thought to outweigh the possible risks.

Also, stem cell therapy reduces disease burden, improves outcomes and quality of life for patients with SCD, and significantly reduces health care costs over the long term.

Moreover, the presence of a robust number of stem cell therapy treating hemoglobinopathies in the pipeline will in turn increase the market opportunity. For instance, in February 2020, bluebird bio started a Phase III study evaluating gene therapy by transplantation of autologous CD34+ stem cells transduced ex vivo with the BB305 lentiviral vector in subjects with sickle cell disease. The study is aimed to evaluate hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation (HSCT) using bb1111 (also known as LentiGlobin BB305 Drug Product for SCD).

Therefore, owing to the above-mentioned factors, the demand for stem cell therapy upsurges, thereby the category is expected to witness considerable growth eventually contributing to the overall growth of the global hemoglobinopathies market during the forecast period.

Europe is expected to dominate the overall Hemoglobinopathies Market:
