Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (NPC) Market is expected to reach USD 2.8 billion by 2034

Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (NPC) is a rare, progressive, and life-threatening lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the NPC1 or NPC2 genes. The disease impairs cholesterol and lipid metabolism within cells, leading to severe neurological dysfunction, hepatosplenomegaly, and premature death. Affecting approximately 1 in 100,000 to 150,000 live births worldwide, NPC is often referred to as "childhood Alzheimer's" due to its devastating impact on cognition and motor skills.

For decades, treatment options were minimal, focusing mainly on symptom management. However, in recent years, the development of substrate reduction therapies (SRTs), novel small molecules, and gene therapy approaches has revitalized the NPC market. Increasing advocacy, orphan drug policies, and rising research investments are expected to drive steady growth between 2024 and 2034.

Market Overview
The global Niemann-Pick Disease Type C market size in 2024 is estimated at USD 1.2 billion and is projected to reach USD 2.8 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period.

Key highlights:
• Growing use of miglustat (substrate reduction therapy) as the only widely available pharmacological treatment.
• Development of next-generation SRTs and gene therapy candidates.
• Increasing adoption of newborn screening and genetic testing for early diagnosis.
• Supportive regulatory incentives for orphan drugs.
• Challenges include limited approved therapies, high costs, and regional disparities in diagnosis and treatment access.

Leading players in the NPC market include Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, Orphazyme (acquired by KemPharm), Cyclo Therapeutics, and IntraBio.
