Growth Drivers

  • Growing Prevalence of Wilson’s Disease in Young Population – Wilson’s disease generally occurs in the younger population since it is passed on to children by their parents and shows symptoms at an early age. The symptoms of Wilson’s disease include stomach aches, swelling, weariness, and others.  For instance, the most common age at which symptoms of this disease appears is 12 and 13.

  • Escalating Trial on Gene Therapy – gene therapy is highly advantageous in treating Wilson’s disease since it transits the working ATP7B gene into cells that create working transporter proteins. For instance, around 90% of the trial of gene therapy were noticed to be in their early phases while 70% of the were conducted in 2018 in the United States.
  • Increasing Health Spending across the Globe – based on the current expenditure data, global health spending has increased over the past 20 years, doubling in real terms to hit USD 8.5 trillion in 2019 and 9.8% of GDP, up from 8.5 percent in 2000.
  • Growing R&D Expenditure for Clinical Trials – for instance, in 2021, more than 400,000 studies were noticed to be conducted in 200 countries across the globe.

Challenges

  • High Treatment Costs and Lack of Reimbursement Facilities - Despite the presence of improved healthcare infrastructure, there is a high cost associated with these drugs which are used for the treatment of Wilson’s disease. In addition to this, the poor reimbursement policies in developing countries are estimated to hinder the growth of the Wilson’s disease drugs market in the future.

  • Lack of Awareness in Low-Income Countries.

  • Requirement for Higher Initial Investments

Wilson Disease Drugs Market Segmentation:

Indication Segment Analysis

The global Wilson disease drugs market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by indication into hepatic, neurological, ophthalmic, and psychiatric. Out of these types of indications, the neurological segment is estimated to gain the largest market share in the year 2035. Wilson’s disease includes a higher number of neurological indications such as dysarthria (difficulty in speaking), dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing), tremors, poor coordination, spasticity, involuntary movements, muscle rigidity, dystonic posture, and others. Apart from that, the surge in neurological conditions and usage of neurology devices across the globe has also spurred the demand for medical drugs to cure or manage these diseases which are also expected to propel the growth of the segment over the upcoming decades. For instance, based on the statistics released by Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), it was stated that in 2019, nearly 533,172 people died owing to neurological conditions across the globe, out of which, 320,043 were women while 213,129 were men.

Drug Type Segment Analysis

The global Wilson disease drugs market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by drug type into chelating agents, zinc, tetrathiomolybdate, and others. Amongst these segments, the chelating agents’ segment is expected to garner a significant share in the year 2035. Chelating agents include trientine, penicillamine, and dimercaprol which are helpful in reducing the levels of copper in blood and tissues when administered for a prolonged time period. These agents are further helpful in preventing the gathering of copper and injuries from Wilson disease. Chelating agents are developed to flush toxic metals out of the body. Toxic metals are known to cause immune system dysfunction, nervous systems disorders, cancer, birth defects, skin lesions, vascular damage, and many more. A surge in the nervous system disorder and cancer can be observed across the globe which is expected to hike the segment growth over the forecast period. As of 2020, nearly 10 million people lost their lives worldwide.
