Orphan drugs are specifically developed to treat rare diseases that affect a small portion of the population. In the U.S., a rare disease impacts fewer than 200,000 people, as defined by the Orphan Drug Act (ODA), while in Europe, it is fewer than 5 in 10,000 individuals.

Key Drivers of Growth

The rise in rare diseases across both developed and developing countries is creating greater demand for effective treatment options. In response, many governments have introduced policies and incentives-such as tax credits, market exclusivity, and regulatory support-to encourage pharmaceutical companies to develop these specialized treatments. These initiatives are significantly boosting the orphan drug market.

Additionally, the rapid expansion of the pharmaceutical industry and advancements in biotechnology are contributing to the development and availability of innovative therapies.

Challenges Facing the Market

Despite the promising growth, high treatment costs remain a major hurdle, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Limited insurance coverage and high out-of-pocket expenses may restrict access to these drugs for many patients, potentially slowing down market growth.

Market Segments Overview

By Drug Type:
The market is divided into biologics and non-biologics.
Biologics dominated the market in 2022, driven by an increase in biologically derived products such as vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and immune therapies. According to the U.S. FDA, over 600 drugs and biological products have been developed under its Orphan Products Development Program since 1983.

By Therapy Area:
The oncology segment is expected to show strong growth in the coming years due to a rising number of cancer cases and increased focus by pharmaceutical companies on developing cancer-specific orphan drugs. Notably, in June 2022, the FDA granted orphan drug designation to ALX Oncology Holdings Inc. for its drug Evorpacept for treating acute myeloid leukemia. Cancer therapies currently account for approximately 20% of global pharmaceutical sales.

By End-Use:
The hospital pharmacies segment is anticipated to hold the largest share of the market. Many orphan drugs require intravenous administration and are monitored closely by healthcare professionals in hospital settings. The growing elderly population, who are more likely to be hospitalized for chronic conditions, is also driving demand in this segment.
