Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) Market 2025-2034 Business Outlook, Critical Insight and Growth

Introduction
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a group of inherited blood disorders caused by mutations in the hemoglobin gene, leading to abnormally shaped red blood cells. These "sickle" shaped cells result in chronic anemia, vaso-occlusive crises, organ damage, and reduced life expectancy. Affecting millions worldwide, SCD is most prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, India, the Middle East, and among populations of African descent in the Americas.

For decades, treatment options were limited to supportive care, blood transfusions, and hydroxyurea. However, the therapeutic landscape has changed dramatically with the advent of disease-modifying therapies, gene therapy, and curative bone marrow transplants. Growing investments in biotechnology, global health initiatives, and rising patient advocacy are propelling the SCD market toward rapid expansion.
