Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Market to Reach USD 13.1 Billion by 2034

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a rare genetic neuromuscular disorder caused by mutations in the SMN1 gene, leading to insufficient survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. This deficiency results in progressive muscle weakness, motor function loss, and in severe cases, respiratory failure. Affecting approximately 1 in 6,000-10,000 live births, SMA is one of the most common genetic causes of infant mortality.

Over the last decade, the SMA treatment landscape has been revolutionized by the arrival of gene therapies and RNA-based therapies that target the underlying cause of the disease. Breakthrough drugs such as nusinersen (Spinraza), onasemnogene abeparvovec (Zolgensma), and risdiplam (Evrysdi) have dramatically improved survival rates and motor outcomes for patients. Between 2024 and 2034, the SMA market is set to expand significantly, fueled by continued innovation, broader patient access, and global investment in rare disease care.
