Enzyme Replacement Therapy Global Market Insights 2025, Analysis and Forecast to 2030, by Market Participants, Regions, Technology, Application, Product Type

Enzyme Replacement Therapy Market Summary

and Market Overview

Enzyme replacement therapies (ERTs), including imiglucerase, agalsidase beta, and alglucosidase alfa, treat lysosomal storage disorders like Gaucher disease (1/100,000 prevalence) and Fabry disease (1/40,000). The market is driven by rising diagnosis rates, with newborn screening boosting detection by 15%, and orphan drug policies, offering 7-year exclusivity. Approximately 3 billion people are affected by rare diseases, with 6,000 Gaucher and 32,950 Pompe patients in the U.S. Novel therapies and early intervention (20% higher treatment rates for Pompe) fuel growth. The global ERT market is estimated at USD 6.0-10.0 billion in 2025, with a CAGR of 6%-10% through 2030.
