Overview of the Orphan Drugs Market

Diseases that have low prevalence rates are no less important than ones that have a higher incidence. Pharmaceutical agents developed for treating such rare or low-prevalence diseases are referred to as orphan drugs. Countries often laws determining the treatment and approach to orphan diseases, and there are criteria that establish whether or not a disease can be classified such in the first place. In Japan, for instance, a disease that affects less than 50,000 persons is an orphan disease. In the United States, this number is 200,000.

Orphan drugs are often also referred to as ‘niche busters’ because they provide an ideal avenue for companies to offset the lapsing patents and shrinking pipelines of blockbuster drugs. In such a scenario, orphan drugs bring forth a new business model that could help create new revenue streams.

The total number of diseases categorized as orphan stands at about 7,000 currently, with nearly 250 new diseases being appended to this list annually. The orphan drugs market has been stimulated to a great extent by pertinent laws introduced in the United States, Australia, Singapore, and Japan. A few countries in the European Union also have specific laws governing the orphan diseases market.

A highly conducive atmosphere currently prevails for the growth of the orphan drugs market. These include: Grants and R&D benefits, FDA fee waivers, and rapid clinical trial timelines, favorable reimbursement options, premium pricing, and prolonged exclusivity. Enticed by these initiatives, more companies are moving into the orphan drugs market space.

Currently, the market for orphan drugs constitutes only about 6% of the entire pharmaceutical market. The aforementioned factors will help this market achieve double-digit CAGR through the forecast period of the report. Yet, growth in the market will be curtailed to some extent by challenges such as finding the desired number of patients for clinical trials.
