To get key market trends
You know, rare diseases are becoming more common. In Europe alone, about 30 million people have a rare disease, that's like the population of the Netherlands! In Germany, around 4 million people are affected. And it's estimated that around 300 million people worldwide live with a rare disease. Because there are more and more people with rare diseases, there's a growing demand for new treatments. Also, doctors, patients, and the government are becoming more aware of these diseases. This awareness has led to more funding for research, which is helping to develop new treatments.
Hey there! Let's chat about rare diseases, also known as "orphan diseases." They're pretty uncommon, affecting only a tiny fraction of people out there. We know about around 7,000 of these conditions. Guess what? We're still scratching our heads for the exact causes of most rare diseases. But there's a good chance they might be linked to changes in our genes. These diseases can be like mischievous puzzles, harder to figure out and treat than the more common ones. The big challenge here is developing ????????? and treatments. Picture thisthere aren't many people affected, so it's not exactly a profitable endeavor for drug companies. That's where our governments step in like superheroes, offering grants and cash to help find ways to heal these tricky conditions.

What are the growth opportunities in this market?
Rare Disease Treatment Market Trends
- The pharmaceutical industry is continuously involved in R&D activities for the development of novel drug therapies to treat rare diseases and commercialization of medicines for the treatment of uncommon diseases. Due to increase in funding for drug discovery and R&D activity, there are now significantly more novel molecular pharmaceuticals commercialized each year. More than 800 orphan drug indications have been approved from 1983 and 2019.
- Moreover, the target population base has also contributed to this success and has reinstated its capability to drive investment, inform research, and influence policymakers. For instance, as per the report published by U.S. FDA in January 2024, more than half (28 of 55, or 51%) of the novel drugs approved in 2023, these drugs were approved to prevent, diagnose, or treat a rare disease or condition, for which they received an orphan-drug designation. Therefore, the number of approved orphan indications is surging rapidly than the number of drugs, as some therapeutics are indicated for multiple conditions. Thus, increasing launch of novel drugs and treatment regimens for rare disease treatment will spur the market growth.
Rare Disease Treatment Market Analysis

Based on the drug type, the global market is classified into biologics and non-biologics. The biologics segment dominated the market with revenue of USD 166.9 billion in 2023.
- The demand for biologics in rare disease treatment increases due to several benefits it possesses such as high specificity, low toxicity, extreme sensitivity to physical conditions, etc. Also, technological advancements in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry allow large-scale syntheses of biologics in a cost-effective manner. In conditions of safety, biologics are identified to cause less severe adverse events.
- Furthermore, the cost of several biologic drugs is covered by the medical insurance, thus enabling patients to access effective treatments.
Learn more about the key segments shaping this market
Based on the therapeutic area, the global rare disease treatment market is classified into cancer, blood-related disorders, central nervous system, respiratory disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular disorders, and other therapeutic area. The cancer segment dominated the market with market share of 48.9% in 2023.
- Growing adoption of biological therapy including gene therapy, cytokine therapy, monoclonal antibodies, targeted drug therapy, immunoconjugates for treating the cancer will boost market growth in the future. Also, the growing emphasis on biologics to treat the rare diseases with high compatibility, specificity and low toxicity will witness steady growth in the future.
- Furthermore, various market players are focusing on development of novel products for treating these rare diseases that will propel the growth significantly.
Based on the patient, the global rare disease treatment market is classified into adult and pediatric. The adult segment is expected to exhibit CAGR of 8.7% during the analysis period.
- The adult segment contributed maximum share owing to increasing adult and geriatric population pool suffering from rare disorders. As per the report published by National Institute of Health in November 2023, it has been reported that an estimated 25 to 30 million Americans are affected with rare disease. In addition, Undiagnosed Disease Program (UDP) has received nearly 10,000 inquiries, reviewed more than 3,000 applications, and admitted about 900 patients to the NIH Clinical Center for comprehensive weeklong evaluations. Thus, the increase in the number of people diagnosed with rare disease and the growing demand to develop therapeutic drugs for adult patient population is substantially increasing in the recent past years that will further propel the market growth positively.
Based on route of administration, the rare disease treatment market is classified into oral and injectable. The oral segment is expected to reach USD 235.1 billion by end of 2032.
- The high market revenue is attributed to various advantages of the oral route of administration such as non-invasiveness, the convenience of drug administration, and patient compliance among others. According to the research article published in 2021, around 60% of approved small-molecule drugs available commercially are administered through the oral route. Furthermore, oral therapies offer a higher rate of bioavailability at an affordable cost. Thus, the easy availability of oral dosage in store is another factor that will contribute the market growth for this segment.
