The global phenylketonuria (PKU) treatment market, valued at an impressive US$ 446.7 million in 2020, is set to experience substantial expansion in the years ahead, according to the latest market analysis.
Market Overview
In a report released today, the phenylketonuria treatment market is projected to exhibit a robust Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11% from 2022 to 2027. Despite facing moderate disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic, PKU patients demonstrated resilience by adapting their dietary regimens and embracing teleconsultancy, resulting in improved metabolic control during home confinement.
The pandemic has illuminated the potential of remote healthcare services to enhance phenylketonuria treatment adherence and metabolic compliance among patients.
The markets growth is further propelled by escalating research and development efforts, exemplified by clinical trials conducted by industry leaders such as BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. and PTC Therapeutics. These trials focus on enhancing the safety and efficacy of treatments like BMN 307 and PTC923, designed to lower blood phenylalanine levels in PKU patients to less than 2 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).
Governmental organizations and healthcare systems commitment to raising awareness about PKU is also a significant driver. Initiatives like the National Phenylketonuria Alliance, a collaborative community, actively promote PKU awareness, education, and research.
Nonetheless, the markets growth potential is hindered by the high cost of PKU treatment.
