Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency (ASMD) Market will Witness High Growth due to Rising Disease Awareness and Diagnosis

Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency (ASMD) is a rare, inherited, autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused due to the deficiency of the enzyme sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1 required for breaking down sphingomyelin. It leads to accumulation of sphingomyelin substrate in cells of the brain and other vital organs. Signs and symptoms of ASMD include skeletal abnormalities, respiratory infections, liver dysfunction, and neurological abnormalities. The global ASMD market is driven by the increasing research in rare disease funding as well as rising disease awareness and diagnosis.


The acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) market is estimated to be valued at USD 134.6 Mn in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 300 Mn by 2031, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1% from 2024 to 2031.


Key players operating in the Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency (ASMD) market are Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Orchard Therapeutics and Green Cross Corp. Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a leading player in the ASMD market with its enzyme replacement therapy Strensiq approved for the treatment of non-neurological manifestations of ASMD in children and adults.


The major opportunities in the Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency (ASMD) Market include the use of novel therapeutic approaches like gene therapy and stem cell therapy. Orchard Therapeutics is developing ex-vivo hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy OTL-200 for treating ASMD.


The ASMD market is also witnessing global expansion with key players focusing on raising disease awareness about ASMD in underdiagnosed regions. Alexion Pharmaceuticals is working with patient advocacy organizations globally to spread awareness about ASMD through initiatives like gene therapy educational programs.


Market Drivers -

Rising disease awareness and diagnosis: With initiatives from key pharmaceutical players and patient advocacy groups, the disease awareness about rare conditions like ASMD is increasing. This is resulting in improved diagnosis rates and growing patient pool globally.


Market Restrains -

High cost of gene and cell therapies: Novel therapeutic approaches for ASMD like gene and stem cell therapies are highly complex and expensive. This limits their widespread availability and adoption.


Segment Analysis

Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency (ASMD) Market is segmented on the basis of disease type, diagnosis and treatment. By disease type, the non-neurological forms of acid sphingomyelinase deficiency dominate the market currently. These types are characterized by lung and liver damages. These sub-segments hold around 60% of the overall market share owing to high prevalence and availability of treatment options. By diagnosis, genetic testing led the segment by identifying mutations in the SMPD1 gene responsible for acid sphingomyelinase deficiency. Over the forecast period, newborn screening is expected to be the fastest growing segment. By treatment, enzyme replacement therapy is the dominating sub-segment currently. Drugs like Eliglustat Tartrate (Cerdelga) hold over 50% market share for effectively managing symptoms in type I Gaucher disease patients.


Global Analysis

North America holds the largest share in the overall Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency (ASMD) Market owing to increasing research activities for developing novel treatment options. The region is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period supported by high healthcare spending and presence of key pharmaceutical companies. Europe is the second largest market for ASMD attributed to rising government funding for rare disease research. Asia Pacific is poised to showcase fastest growth during forecast period driven by growing patient pool, improving healthcare facilities and rising medical tourism in the region. Developing nations like India and China are expected to be highly lucrative markets for ASMD in coming years.
