Play Audio Listen to Audio Version

The global hyperphosphatemia treatment market size was valued at USD 1.23 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow from USD 1.31 billion in 2023 to USD 2.28 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period. North America dominated the hyperphosphatemia treatment market with a market share of 43.09% in 2022.


Hyperphosphatemia or excess phosphate can be caused due to hypoparathyroidism, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), and other factors. The prevalence of chronic kidney disease has been increasing significantly across the world.


For instance, according to the data published by the International Society of Nephrology in 2022, chronic kidney disease affects more than 10% of the population globally. Moreover, the disease is more prevalent in the older population and individuals suffering from hypertension and diabetes mellitus.


The increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease is directly proportional to the increasing burden of hyperphosphatemia. This factor has boosted the demand for effective therapeutics, thereby fueling the hyperphosphatemia treatment market growth.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Market Experienced Slow Growth During COVID-19 due to Supply Chain Disruptions and Increased Mortality Rate


After the sudden onset of the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, the growth of the hyperphosphatemia treatment market slowed down. This was due to a major decline in the number of chronic kidney disease and hemodialysis patients visiting the doctors for regular checkups, resulting in a limited number of people getting checked for hyperphosphatemia.


For instance, according to an article published by Elsevier Inc., in July 2020, approximately 28.2% of patients missed at least one or more dialysis sessions, and around 4.1% stopped reporting for dialysis.


However, in 2020, the market experienced a slow growth. This was due to the increased sales of products, such as Auryxia and Velphoro. For instance, in 2020, a product by Akebia Therapeutics, Inc. named Auryxia, generated a revenue of USD 128.9 million, experiencing an increase of 16% from the previous year.


Moreover, the market witnessed growth post-pandemic and is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period due to new product launches. For instance, Ardelyx’s XPHOZAH, a non-phosphate binder, got the U.S. FDA approval in October 2023 and is expected to be commercialized by the end of the same year.


Market Trends


Development of Innovative Hyperphosphatemia Treatment Options


It is very important to control the phosphate levels in dialysis patients. Even after improvements in dialysis technology, phosphate levels are still not controlled effectively. Moreover, variances in dialytic removal of phosphate, unexplained absorption of enteral phosphate through diet or vitamin D intake, and binder efficacy may be responsible for hyperphosphatemia in dialysis patients. Therefore, to increase the efficiency of the hyperphosphatemia treatment procedures in dialysis patients, researchers are focusing on developing novel hyperphosphatemia therapeutics and updating the treatment guidelines.


Earlier, sevelamer and calcium-based phosphate binders were the most commonly used binders. However, Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO), a non-profit organization developing and implementing guidelines for kidney disease globally, updated the Clinical Practice Guideline for Chronic Kidney Disease–Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) in 2017. As per the updated guidelines, the dose of calcium-based phosphate binders should be limited among adult patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) receiving hyperphosphatemia treatment. This was due to the side effects of using these phosphate binders, such as increased risk of cardiovascular disease and hypercalcemia.


Moreover, market players have been focusing on creating awareness about the efficiency of their products so that healthcare professionals can use these drugs as the first line of treatment.


In June 2023, Akebia Therapeutics, Inc. announced the positive topline results of its Phase 4 collaborative study with U.S. Renal Care to study the effect of Auryxia when used as a first line of phosphate-lowering therapy. These results are important for nephrologists to understand the products’ efficiency.

HYPERPHOSPHATEMIA TREATMENT MARKET GROWTH FACTORS


Increasing Prevalence of CKD is Fueling Demand for Effective Hyperphosphatemia Treatments


The burden of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is increasing at a significant pace across the globe. For instance, as per the data published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2023, 35.5 million individuals, accounting for 14% of the U.S. population, were suffering from chronic kidney disease.


Hyperphosphatemia is most common in patients suffering from CKD and patients who are on dialysis. Therefore, the rising burden of these diseases has also been increasing the prevalence of hyperphosphatemia.


For instance, according to a research study published by the National Centers for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in 2023, around 40% of dialysis patients who participated in the study suffered from hyperphosphatemia. As per the same study, 73% of Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) patients suffered from hyperphosphatemia.


This scenario has boosted the demand for effective hyperphosphatemia treatments, thereby fueling the market growth.


Increasing Market Players’ Focus on R&D for Development of New Therapeutics to Fuel Market Growth


The prevalence of hyperphosphatemia is increasing at a worrying pace across the world. This has augmented the demand for novel drugs with a new mechanism of action. Market players have increased their focus on launching new products with higher efficiency to expand their customer base.


For instance, Adrelyx discovered and developed a non-phosphate binder, XPHOZAH (tenapanor). Tenapanor is a minimally absorbed inhibitor of gastrointestinal sodium/hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3). The drug operates based on a non-phosphate-binding mechanism. Studies have shown that Tenapanor maintained serum phosphorus control through a considerable reduction in pill burden (by up to 80% as compared to phosphate binders).


In May 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted Adrelyx’s resubmission of a New Drug Application (NDA) for Tenapanor. The drug is expected to be commercialized by October 2023. With positive results shown by the research studies, market players have increased their focus on developing such novel therapeutics.


The increasing focus of market players on R&D for developing new products and commercializing them is expected to fuel the market growth during the forecast period.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Complications From Use of Hyperphosphatemia Therapeutics and Poor Medical Adherence to Hinder Market Growth


The demand for hyperphosphatemia treatment is growing at a significant rate due to the increasing burden of the disorder. However, certain limitations associated with using hyperphosphatemia therapeutics, such as gastrointestinal problems, hypercalcemia, and iron deposition in the organs, have been limiting its adoption among the patient population.


For instance, lanthanum carbonate phosphate binders cause gastrointestinal disorders in dialysis patients. Similarly, incorporating aluminium-based phosphate binders causes toxic effects, which can lead to bone diseases.


Adherence to the phosphate binder treatment is also a problem. Patients are required to take these drugs before and after every meal. These pills are generally large and require many pill dosages. Thus, hyperphosphatemia treatment results in a significant pill burden.


The above-mentioned complications can hamper the market growth.
