The global hunter syndrome treatment market size was valued at USD 702.4 million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 1,118.4 million by 2026, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period.


Hunter’s syndrome, also known as Mucopolysaccharidosis II and MPS II, is one of the key diseases which is part of the mucopolysaccharidosis group of inherited conditions in which the body is unable to properly breakdown mucopolysaccharides, a form of sugar molecule. Hunter’s syndrome is a very rare inherited genetic disorder which primarily affects males. When left untreated, Hunter syndrome is potentially lethal and leads to a shorter life span of the individuals diagnosed. There are various clinical trials being conducted by market players for the development of new Hunter syndrome Treatment, especially the neurological symptoms and complications.


MARKET TRENDS


Increasing R&D for rare diseases to augment market growth


One of the key market trends prevailing in the Hunter syndrome Treatment market is the increasing R&D investments by key players for the development of novel therapies. Since, Hunter syndrome is a key orphan disease, a number of prominent clinical stage biopharmaceutical companies such as ArmaGen and REGENXBIO Inc. have strong pipeline candidates in various stages of clinical trials. This increasing interest into rare diseases’ therapeutics is due to the fact that major pharmaceutical breakthroughs leading to the development of blockbuster drugs are more probable in these diseases as compared to the traditional pharmaceutical portfolios.


Another driving factor for this trend is that the pharmaceutical companies are required to run larger outcome studies for the approval of traditional therapeutics for diseases such as diabetes and coronary artery disease (CAD) as compared to the approval for orphan diseases such as Hunter syndrome. This is projected to further propel the mucopolysaccharidosis II treatment market growth during the forecast period.

MARKET DRIVERS


Unmet clinical needs and need for better treatment outcomes to fuel demand


One of the critical market drivers of the market is the lack of presence of multiple therapeutics for the patients and also presence of the monopoly of one therapeutic, Elaprase. Elaprase is a particularly expensive treatment option and often patients from emerging countries do not have access to such therapeutics. Patients without the access to proper treatment often have significantly shorter life span compared to their counterparts in the developing countries who often have access to these expensive therapeutics.


Apart from Elaprase, the only other approved therapeutic is Hunterase, which is only approved in some of the countries. Despite that, the cost of Hunterase is prohibitively high, and patients in the emerging countries such as India, often cannot afford these therapeutics in spite of increasing governmental initiatives. Introduction of low cost and effective therapeutics is anticipated to drive the growth of the global market during the forecast period.


The other critical driver is the need for better clinical and therapeutic outcomes for the patients for Hunter syndrome. The currently approved and used therapeutics such as Elaprase, are not capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier. Hence, these therapeutics are not able to effectively manage the neurological symptoms and complications of the severely affected patients of Hunter syndrome. In the severely affected patients of Hunter syndrome, which affects an estimated two-thirds of the total patient population, the neurological symptoms are severely debilitating.


The currently utilized therapeutics are not able to reach the central nervous system, thus a significant proportion of the population remains ineffectively treated. This is projected to drive the demand for advanced therapeutics which aid in the management of all types of the symptoms of the Hunter syndrome and drive the growth of the Hunter syndrome drug market size during the forecast period.


Presence of key pipeline candidates in the r&d pipelines of market players to drive the market growth


There is an increasing R&D activity in the development of efficient therapeutics for a number of orphan diseases and Hunter syndrome is one of these diseases. According to the Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center (GARD), there can be an estimated 7,000 rare diseases and the total number of individuals in the U.S. from these rare diseases can be 25-30 million. According to an analysis published on The Pharma Letter in April 2019, it was estimated that in Japan, approximately 150 individuals suffered from Hunter syndrome.


Such patient statistics and trends are further leading to the presence of significant pipeline candidates in the pipelines of prominent companies. A number of prominent clinical stage biopharmaceutical companies such as ArmaGen, Denali Therapeutics, and REGENXBIO Inc., all have pipeline candidates for Hunter syndrome in several stages of clinical trials. The above factors combined with the need for efficient therapeutics is further projected to fuel the demand for these drugs and boost the Hunter syndrome treatment market growth. 


MARKET RESTRAINT


High cost of approved therapeutics and lower treatment rates in emerging countries to limit the adoption of hunter syndrome therapeutics


Despite increasing incidence of rare diseases such as Hunter syndrome globally, and higher prevalence of these conditions in emerging regions such as Asia, there are certain factors that are limiting the adoption of these therapeutics. One of the major factors restraining the growth of the market is lower treatment rates in emerging countries due to the high costs attributable to these enzyme replacement therapies (ERT), which is the primary treatment for Hunter syndrome.


This has led to a limited number of patients undergoing treatment, and a significant proportion of the patients of Hunter syndrome are left without treatment. Often, these treatment options are not accessible to the patients in the emerging countries due to lack of awareness and also appropriate payment plans for these diseases. The governments in these countries are highly unaware of these diseases and do not adequately reimburse them, which leads to the creation of these major factors restraining Market growth for the Hunter Syndrome Treatment.


SEGMENTATION


By Treatment Analysis


To know how our report can help streamline your business, Speak to Analyst


Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) dominated the global market


Based on treatment, the global market is segmented into enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), and others. Since, Hunter syndrome belongs to a group of disorders called lysosomal storage disorders, the primary treatment for such disorders is enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). Hence, the enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) segment dominated the Hunter syndrome therapeutics market share in 2018. The only two therapeutics approved by the regulatory agencies globally: Elaprase and Hunterase are both ERTs and have been instrumental in the dominance of this segment in the global market.


The others segment is anticipated to grow at a comparatively higher CAGR. The increasing clinical trials involving the usage of the hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is also anticipated to take place during the forecast period and drive the MPS II treatment market growth during the forecast period. Apart from the increasing trials by stem cell transplantation, a number of key clinical stage biopharmaceutical companies are conducting trials on gene therapy as a means of treatment for Hunter syndrome.


By Route of Administration Analysis


Clinically proven effectiveness of intravenous therapeutics in hunter syndrome to aid dominance of the segment


In terms of route of administration, the market is segmented into intravenous, and intracerebroventricular (ICV)/ intrathecal. The intravenous type is anticipated to dominate the route of administration segment, because of the most prominent Hunter syndrome treatment, Elaprase is administered intravenously. Elaprase holds a monopoly over the Hunter syndrome therapeutics market and is anticipated to hold control over its market share in the forecast period, is primary reason for dominance of intravenous type in the global Hunter syndrome drugs market.


Hunterase is the other approved therapeutic and the route of administration is intracerebroventricular (ICV)/ intrathecal. Growing approvals in other countries of these therapeutic, along with introduction in other countries of the market, is expected to drive the growth of the segment during the forecast period.


By End User Analysis


Higher administration of therapeutics at hospitals to enable dominance of the segment


In terms of end user, the hunter syndrome treatment market is segmented into hospitals, specialty clinics, and others. One of the key reasons for the dominance of hospitals segment is that the therapeutics used in Hunter syndrome treatment can often be administered in hospital settings with trained medical professionals. This enables the proper adherence to the Hunter syndrome treatment guidelines and also the appropriate and safe administration of critical therapeutics which have to be administered intravenously. Such effective treatment often allows for the appropriate control of Hunter syndrome symptoms.


Growing number of specialty clinics, along with the high level of specialist care for the Hunter syndrome patients, are some of the major factors responsible for growth of this segment in the forecast period. 


These factors, along with emphasis of national government agencies for treatment of patients in advanced settings, is further fueling the demand for Hunter syndrome treatment in the global market.
