Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034

The 7 major exocrine pancreatic insufficiency markets reached a value of US$ 2.3 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the 7MM to reach US$ 4.0 Billion by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.15% during 2024-2034.

The exocrine pancreatic insufficiency market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) refers to a condition in which the pancreas is unable to produce enough digestive enzymes to break down and absorb nutrients from food. This progressive loss of enzymes results in maldigestion, shortage of vitamins, and nutrient malabsorption from routine digestive processes. The symptoms of EPI are similar to many other gastrointestinal conditions and can range from mild to severe. Individuals suffering from this disease may experience abdominal discomfort, belly pain, bloating, diarrhea, fatigue, flatulence, bleeding disorders, edema, foul-smelling or fatty stool, unexplained weight loss, etc. The diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency typically involves a review of the patient's symptoms, medical history, and diagnostic procedures. Various tests used to diagnose EPI include fecal elastase, which measures the level of pancreatic enzymes in the stool, and a secretin stimulation test, which assesses the ability of the pancreas to produce digestive enzymes. Several blood tests are also performed to check for nutrient deficiencies or other underlying disorders. In some cases, numerous imaging tests, such as an MRI or CT scan, are used to examine the condition of the pancreas.

The increasing incidence of chronic pancreatitis, which causes inflammation of the pancreas and impairs its ability to produce digestive enzymes, is primarily driving the exocrine pancreatic insufficiency market. Apart from this, the rising prevalence of inherited diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, that can block the pancreatic passageways and prevent the release of essential enzymes is also augmenting the market growth. Moreover, the widespread utilization of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy for treating EPI, since it significantly enhances fat digestion and improves disease symptoms, is further creating a positive outlook for the market. Besides this, the inflating application of secretin-enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), a noninvasive technique, to evaluate exocrine function and visualize changes in the pancreatic duct, is also propelling the market growth. Furthermore, numerous key players are making substantial investments in the development of new formulations of enzyme replacement therapy, including delayed-release enzymes designed to be released slowly over time and enzymes encapsulated in liposomes to improve absorption. This, in turn, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the emerging popularity of combination treatments involving vitamin supplementation and lifestyle modification, such as cessation of smoking, limitation of alcohol intake, consumption of a healthy diet, etc., is expected to drive the exocrine pancreatic insufficiency market in the coming years.

This report is a must-read for manufacturers, investors, business strategists, researchers, consultants, and all those who have any kind of stake or are planning to foray into the exocrine pancreatic insufficiency market in any manner.

Recent Developments:
In December 2023, Codexis, Inc. announced that it had signed a purchase agreement with Nestle Health Science for CDX-7108, which is an experimental medication for the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
In September 2023, Anagram Therapeutics Inc. reported that the first participants had been dosed in a randomized, multicenter, parallel research study to assess the tolerability and safety of orally administered ANG003 in adult individuals with CF-related exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. ANG003 is an innovative broad-spectrum enzyme replacement therapy used orally to treat malabsorption and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
In July 2023, First Wave BioPharma, Inc. disclosed that it had received topline results from its Phase 2 SPAN clinical trial, which is investigating an enhanced enteric micro granule delivery formulation of adrulipase for treating exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. According to preliminary study results, the increased adrulipase formulation was safe and well tolerated, and it outperformed previous adrulipase formulations.

Key Highlights:
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency affects around 60% to 90% of patients with chronic pancreatitis within 10 to 12 years after diagnosis.
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is the most frequent pancreas condition in the United States, with 42-73 cases per 100,000 persons.
The prevalence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in type 1 diabetes varies from 14% to 77.5% (median 33%), whereas in type 2 diabetes, it ranges between 16.8% to 49.2% (median 29%).
The prevalence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency rises with age and appears to be higher in males than in women.
About 85 percent of cystic fibrosis patients have exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, necessitating pancreatic enzyme replacement treatment.

Drugs:
Viokace is a compound made up of porcine-derived lipases, amylases, and proteases. In adults, Viokace combined with a proton pump inhibitor is approved for the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency caused by chronic pancreatitis or pancreatectomy. The drug contains the active component pancrelipase, which exists in the form of tablets that can be taken orally with each meal and snack.

CDX-7108 is a lipase variation designed to address the limits of current pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) for treating exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. This therapeutic option is designed to be highly stable in acidic stomach conditions and resistant to proteases in the upper intestines.

MS1819 is a recombinant lipase produced from the yeast Yarrowia Lipolytica. It is under development to treat exocrine pancreatic insufficiency associated with chronic pancreatitis and CF. AzurRx is currently working on a Phase IIa trial of MS1819 to treat exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) caused by chronic pancreatic pancreatitis. The trial is being carried out at four sites in New Zealand and Australia, with a target enrollment of 12-15 participants.
