The increasing prevalence of congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) worldwide is anticipated to boost the market growth. For instance, according to the Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases report, congenital hyperinsulinism has an estimated global prevalence of 1/50,000. Similarly, as per National Institute of Health (NIH) report, congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) is the most frequent cause of severe, persistent hypoglycemia in new-born babies and children. In most countries, hyperinsulinism occurs in approximately 1/25,000 to 1/50,000 births. About 60% of babies with hyperinsulinism develop hypoglycemia during the first month of life. Thus, the increasing number of congenital hyperinsulinism cases globally has increased the demand for effective treatment options to manage this rare genetic disorder.
