Growth Opportunities in the Global Orphan Drug Industry

What emerging opportunities are fueling growth within the global orphan drug industry?

Approximately 5% of rare diseases (RDs) have obtained approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a drug, while up to 15% of RDs have at least one drug demonstrating potential in disease treatment or prevention.

The escalating number of unmet RD needs serves as a pivotal driver for research and development (R&D). The demand for innovative treatments for RDs with limited therapeutic options is pressing. Recent strides in precision medicine and informatics, including big data analytics, multi-omics, nanomedicine, gene-editing techniques, and next-generation diagnostics, have opened avenues for crafting specific and personalized therapies for RDs. The intersection of cancer and RDs is becoming increasingly apparent. Precision oncology and tailored medicine for rare tumors are emerging as key focal points within the field, fueling the expansion of the orphan drug (OD) industry.
