What External and Internal Drivers Are Contributing to the Growth of the Orphan Drugs Market?

The growth of the orphan drugs market is largely influenced by the increasing incidence of rare diseases. These are diseases that only affect a minuscule portion of the population. Due to the particularity of their treatment often necessitating a temperature-regulated supply chain, known as the cold chain, not all countries can provide accessibility. Orphan diseases, or rare diseases, are not common among people, affecting 7 in every 10,000. Even so, there has been a rise in such diseases globally. For example, in January 2022, the American Cancer Society reported approximately 54,000 new cases of oropharyngeal or oral cancer in the USA per annum, leading to the death of 11,230 individuals. The majority of people diagnosed with these cancers are on average, 63 years old, but it can also afflict younger individuals. In fact, over 20% (or 1 in 5) of recorded incidents occur in patients under 55. Therefore, the escalating occurrence of rare diseases is propelling the expansion of the orphan drugs market.
