Huntington's Disease Market Size, Share, Industry, Forecast and outlook (2024-2031)

Huntington's Disease Market is segmented By Product Type (Antidopaminergics, Anticonvulsants, Antipsychotics, Antidepressants), By Distribution Channel (Clinic Centers, Pharmacies, Online), and By Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) – Share, Size, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2024-2031

Report Overview

Global Huntington's Disease Market is estimated to grow at a  CAGR of 38.7% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

Huntington's disease is an inherited disease that causes the degeneration of nerve cells in the central nervous system (CNS). The disease has a broad impact on the functional abilities of humans and usually results in movement and thinking disabilities. Most people with Huntington's disease develop signs and symptoms in the ages of 30 to 40.

When the disease begins before age 20, the condition is known as juvenile Huntington's disease. Both men and women are susceptible to this disease. It is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a combination of motor, cognitive, and psychiatric symptoms.

Huntington's Disease Market Dynamics

Increasing Pipeline Drugs

Extensive pipeline drugs with properties such as high patient compliance and improved safety also support the growth of the global Huntington's disease therapeutics market. For instance, according to Huntington's Disease Society of America, UniQure is developing AMT-130, a genetic drug designed to silence the huntingtin mutant protein. PTC Therapeutics has also developed an oral splice modulator called PTC518, which reduces huntingtin levels.

Sage Therapeutics is working on Sage-718, an NMDA receptor antagonist that completed an early safety trial in individuals with Huntington's disease.

 Annexon Biosciences is developing ANX-005, an antibody given by IV that aims to help preserve the connections between neurons (synapses) in the HD brain. SRX246, an investigational drug to treat symptoms of anxiety and aggression in the early stages of HD, was invented by Azevan Pharmaceuticals. These Drugs are currently in the pipeline, tested extensively, and later released into the market after approval.

Furthermore, the rise in demand for advanced disease treatment, increasing awareness about chronic diseases, new drug discoveries are few factors that drive the market in the forthcoming period.

Termination of Clinical Trials

Currently, only two drugs were approved, Tetrabenazine and deutetrabenazine, for treating chorea. Other than these, there are no approved drugs until now, although several companies worked on the development. For instance, Novartis initially developed Branaplam, an oral drug to treat a childhood disorder called spinal muscular atrophy. It was also found to lower huntington protein by interfering with the genetic recipe in a process known as RNA splicing. Unfortunately, a Phase 2 trial in adults with HD was halted in 2022 for safety reasons after branaplam unexpectedly caused nerve damage.

Huntington's Disease Segment Analysis

The global Huntington’s disease market is segmented based on drug class, distribution channel, and region.

The Deutetrabenazine Drug/Therapy Segment Accounted for Approximately XX% of the Market Share

Xenazine (tetrabenazine) and Austedo (deutetrabenazine) are two antidopaminergic medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat symptoms of chorea in Huntington’s disease. They work by blocking VMAT proteins and dopamine receptors. Austedo’s chemical structure is similar to Xenazine, but it is more stable.

According to an article published in Bionews, Inc. in January 2022, the proportion of patients with an adherence rate of AUSTEDO (Deutrabenazine) refill is higher i.e., 78% compared to Xenazine (tetrabenazine) i.e., 69% was observed in a group of patient population.

Additionally, On October 2022, Teva Pharmaceuticals, a U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. released the results from the ARC-HD (Alternatives for Reducing Chorea in Huntington’s Disease) trial, an approximately 3-year open-label, single-arm, 2-cohort, multicenter extension study evaluating the safety and tolerability of long-term treatment with AUSTEDO (deutetrabenazine) tablets for chorea associated with Huntington’s Disease (HD).

Huntington's Disease Market Geographical Share

North America accounted for Approximately XX% of the Market Share in 2022

North America is expected to hold the largest segment due to the drug pipeline, the prevalence of Huntington’s disease, and increasing clinical trials.

For instance, according to the Journal of Neurology Research 2022 issue, the worldwide prevalence is extensively varied with an equal distribution between men and women. It is estimated in 5-10 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Annual incidence varies between one and four cases per million inhabitants.

Additionally, in December 2022, Sage Therapeutics, California, United States is conducting phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SAGE-718 soft gel lipid capsule in participants with Huntington's Disease (HD)

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The onset of the pandemic in early 2020 led to widespread lockdowns and restrictions, impacting drug development activities worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted global supply chains, affecting the transportation of raw materials to pharmaceutical manufacturing industries.

The focus of research and development efforts shifted during the pandemic, with a significant emphasis on developing vaccines and treatments for COVID-19. This diversion of resources and attention may have temporarily impacted the progress of disease-related research and development activities. This has led to delays in the completion of trials and the availability of new therapies, which has affected the market.
