North America is estimated to contribute 39% to the growth of the global Duchenne muscular dystrophy therapeutics market during the forecast period. Technavio's analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that will shape the market during the forecast period. The market in North America is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period, primarily owing to the dominance of approved therapeutics in the region. Due to the rapidly progressive and fatal nature of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, governments in countries such as the US and Canada have added the indication to the list of diseases that are required to be screened in newborns. This results in an increased incidence of the indication. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment during the forecast period.
The high unmet need among patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a key factor driving Duchenne muscular dystrophy therapeutics market growth. Muscular dystrophies, which affect human skeletal muscles, are clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorders. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a hereditary childhood myopathy, which leads to progressive muscle weakening and atrophy, and premature death. At present, pharmacological therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is predominantly based on symptomatic treatment. The discovery of the dystrophin gene, which codes proteins that contribute to maintaining membrane stability in muscle cells, has been brought about by increased research efforts aimed at understanding the etiology of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
Moreover, the knowledge about disease progress, etiology, and development of effective treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy was greatly improved through animal models with natural mutations or those that are caused by gene targeting. As a result, despite recent approvals, the global market represents a high unmet need for affordable treatments that can reverse the development of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This creates a significant opportunity for companies to enter the global market to cater to the high unmet demand. Hence, such factors are driving the market during the forecast period.
The special drug designation for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) therapeutics is a primary trend in the market. One of the main benefits that pharmaceutical companies have been able to obtain with their therapeutic products for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is special drug designations granted by regulators. Many therapeutic candidates have received designations such as Orphan drug designation from regulatory bodies such as the US FDA and the EMA. There are regulatory and tax benefits available to companies that have been granted orphan drug designation for their medicinal products. They also receive a waiver of marketing application user fees as well as market exclusivity for seven years.
Similarly, breakthrough therapy designation is granted by the US FDA to drugs that display superior efficacy and substantial treatment advantages over the drugs available in the market for the treatment of a certain indication. Such a designation makes it easier for suppliers to obtain priority review status in comparison with other drugs being evaluated. The faster approval of therapeutic use is a result of the specific designation of medicinal products on the market. This is expected to drive the growth of the market in the coming years. Hence, such factors are driving the market during the forecast period.
The high cost of DMD therapeutics is a major challenge impacting Duchenne muscular dystrophy therapeutics market growth. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a rare and fatal genetic disorder that primarily affects the male population and causes muscle weakness in early childhood. It can also lead to premature death in adults due to respiratory and heart failure. It is a progressive muscle disorder caused by the deficiency of functional dystrophin protein. The essential component of proteins required to maintain the structural stability of skeletal muscle, including cardiac muscle, is dystrophin. Individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy lose their ability to walk by the age of ten years, followed by paralysis of the arms. This imposes a high disease burden on patients and their caregivers. The disease requires lifelong treatment with Duchenne muscular dystrophy therapeutics.
Despite the high efficacy of Duchenne muscular dystrophy therapeutics, the high cost of therapies imposes an economic burden on patients and their families. Due to the high cost of treatment, there will be a decrease in patients' adherence and an impact on therapeutic volumes and value for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. This is a major challenge for the global market during the forecast period.
The Duchenne muscular dystrophy therapeutics market forecasting report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator's stage to the laggard's stage.
