Based on enzyme type, the enzyme replacement therapy market is divided into imiglucerase, agalsidase beta, taliglucerase, velaglucerase alfa, laronidase, alglucosidase alfa, galsulfase, idursulfase, pancreatic enzymes, pegademase, and other enzyme types. The agalsidase beta segment is anticipated to witnesses the highest industry gains of CAGR 8.7% in 2022. Agalsidase beta has demonstrated efficacy in reducing the accumulation of Gb3 and related substances in various organs and tissues. By providing the missing alpha-galactosidase A enzyme, it helps alleviate the symptoms associated with Fabry disease, including neuropathic pain, kidney dysfunction, cardiac complications, and skin manifestations.
Based on indication, the enzyme replacement therapy market is divided into gaucher disease, fabry disease, pompe disease, SCID, mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS), and other indications. The mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) segment is further divided into MPS I - Hurler, Hurler Scheie and Scheie, MPS II – Hunter, MPS III – Sanfilippo, and Other mucopolysaccharidosis. Long-term ERT therapy has developed through research and clinical trials to result in constant improvements in patient outcomes. These medications assist to prevent or hinder the progression of Gaucher disease, lower the risk of serious consequences such bone damage, and improve overall quality of life.
Based on route of administration, the enzyme replacement therapy market is divided into oral, and parenteral. Parenteral routes of administration offer higher bioavailability compared to oral routes. This means that a greater percentage of the administered dose reaches the bloodstream, resulting in a more effective and predictable therapeutic response.
In addition, parenteral administration provides a rapid onset of action for ERTs. This is especially important in the treatment of acute symptoms or the prevention of disease progression in lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs). Patients can benefit from the quick availability of therapeutic enzymes after administration.
Based on end-user, the enzyme replacement therapy market is classified into hospitals, infusion centers, and other end-users. The hospitals segment held dominant market share of around 58.5% in 2022 and is expected to grow at a significant pace of 7% by 2032. Many hospitals actively participate in clinical trials and research studies related to ERTs. They serve as clinical trial sites, enabling patients to access investigational therapies and contributing to the advancement of ERT development. Hospitals' involvement in research helps expand treatment options and improve patient outcomes.
North America enzyme replacement therapy market a is expected to reach USD 7.3 billion in 2032 with a CAGR of 7.2% from 2023-2032. North America has a relatively high prevalence of rare genetic disorders, including Gaucher disease, Fabry disease, Pompe disease, and mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS). This prevalence drives the demand for ERTs, as a substantial patient population requires treatment and management.
Moreover, North America has well-established newborn screening programs and genetic testing services, enabling early diagnosis of LSDs and enzyme deficiencies.
