Homocystinuria Market Size and Competitive Analysis by 2028

The homocystinuria market is projected to reach US$ 73.96 million by 2028 from US$ 56.58 million in 2021; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% during 2021–2028.

Homocystinuria is a genetic condition in which the body is unable to correctly digest certain protein building blocks (amino acids). Homocystinuria comes in a variety of types, each with its own set of signs and symptoms as well as a hereditary aetiology. Nearsightedness (myopia), dislocation of the lens at the front of the eye, a greater risk of irregular blood clotting, and brittle bones prone to fracture (osteoporosis) or other skeletal abnormalities define the most prevalent form of homocystinuria. Some of the people who are impacted also have developmental delays and learning difficulties.

Homocystinuria Market: Strategic Insights

The growth of the homocystinuria market is attributed to the rising deficiencies of vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 and the growing prevalence of inherited metabolic disorders. However, the lack of awareness about various rare disorders and inherited metabolic disorders hampers the market growth.

Market Insights

Rising Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 Deficiencies Drive Homocystinuria Market

The increase in vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 deficiencies patterns leads to several disorders such as anemia, megaloblastic anemia, microcytic anemia, and some kind of metabolic disorders, which is expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period. As vitamin B6 therapy is believed to be an effective therapy against homocystinuria, the deficiency of this vitamin may worsen the condition. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) acts as a cofactor of beta-synthase and acts as a chaperone for stabilizing several missense mutations. Some of the patients with homocystinuria respond well to pyridoxine therapy, and it helps to lower the homocysteine levels, thereby providing relief from the condition. Thus, vitamin B6 is considered vital in managing homocystinuria as a limited number of treatments are available for curing the condition. The deficiency of this enzyme leads to anemia and microcytic anemia. The rising prevalence of anemia is expected to spur market growth during the forecast period. For instance, according to the World Health Organization, anemia affects over 1.62 billion populations, i.e., 24.8% of the population. The major causes of anemia are improper diet and deficiencies of vitamins such as B6, B9, and B12. Predominantly, vitamin B6 deficiency is a leading cause of anemia. Thus, an increase in cases of vitamin B6 deficiency and a high prevalence of disorders associated with its deficiency is expected to support market growth during the forecast period.
