Thalassemia Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Treatment Type (Iron Chelating Drugs, Blood Transfusions, Folic Acid Supplements, Gene Therapy, Others); By End-Use; By Disease Type; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2022 - 2030
The global thalassemia market size is expected to reach USD 1,492.9 billion by 2030, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Thalassemia Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Treatment Type (Iron Chelating Drugs, Blood Transfusions, Folic Acid Supplements, Gene Therapy, and Others); By Disease Type; By End-Use; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2022-2030” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The primary drivers driving market growth include rising thalassemia prevalence and increased thalassemia treatment awareness. According to the National Institute Health study report states that as per the Thalassemia International Federation, roughly 7.0% of the world’s population suffers from hemoglobin-based diseases and conditions, with approximately 70.0% having sickle cell anemia and the remainder developing thalassemia. Thalassemia affects around 2.1% of the world’s population.
Furthermore, as per the Medical Science Study, thalassemia affects roughly 4.4 out of every 10,000 live births worldwide. Since it maintains an autosomal mode of inheritance with no predilection for gender, either males or females receive the relevant gene variants equally. Approximately 5% of the global population possesses a variant in the alpha or beta component of the hemoglobin molecule. Just 1.7% of the world’s population has symptoms caused by genetic mutations, which are classified as a thalassemia trait.
However, certain ethnic groups are more prone to be affected, with 5% to 30% of these populations suffering thalassemia indications. Thus, the rising prevalence of the disease has led to an increase in the demand for treatment which is boosting the market growth over the forecast period.
Moreover, the availability of therapies for the treatment of disease with its benefits is boosting the market growth over the forecast period. Chelation therapy and blood transfusions are the most common therapies for thalassemia patients because they are less expensive and more widely available than bone marrow transplants.
Chelation therapy employs medications such as widely prescribed to treat chronic iron overload that occurs following many blood transfusions in people with chronic thalassemia. Chelation therapy medicines used subcutaneously or intravenously using a gradual infusion approach to purify blood improve patients’ chances of curing thalassemia. However, the expensive cost of the treatment is a key impediment to market growth.
