Market Scope

Type Analysis

On the Basis of product type analysis, the segments of augmentation therapy include Prolastin C, Aralast NP, ,Glassia, Zemaira/Respreeza. Out of these, Prolastin C (manufactured by Grifols, S.A.) accounted for holding the highest market share during the forecast period. Hence it is considered to remain a dominant product in the upcoming days. As Europe regulatory authorities have given a green signal for Respreeza, it is projected to increase its growth with a high CAGR.

In adults with emphysema (lung disease) caused due to (AAT) Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency, Glassia (manufactured by Kamada Ltd.) is the most commonly used medicine. It is administered Intravenously at room temperature at a rate not exceeding 0.2mL/kg.

Aralast NP, synthesized from Human Alpha-1 Proteinase Inhibitor, is also used to treat emphysema in adults.

Hence, Prolastin C and Glassia are the most widely used treatment options in AATD Augmentation Therapy, which positively drives the growth of the Global Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency Augmentation Therapy Market.

End-User Analysis

On the basis of end-user, the Global Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency Augmentation Therapy Market is segmented into hospitals, specialty clinics, and pharmacies. Out of these, the hospital’s segment is accounted for holding the highest market share and a dominating segment of the market.

In developing economies, the hospital segment emerged as a public eye for the treatment of AATD Augmentation Therapy. It is attributable to the arrival of multispecialty care in different countries and the growing investment of private and public players in the healthcare sector.

The major factors responsible for the growth of the hospital segment in the AATD augmentation therapy market are the rising numbers of genetic disorders in the population combined with the rising prevalence of AATD. Thus, it necessitates the advancement of diagnostic techniques in hospitals and is contributing to the growth of this segment.

Followed by hospitals, pharmacies need to ensure the availability of medicines used to treat AATD as the number of congenital diseases is rising. Therefore, it will lead the pharmacy segment to report higher revenue during the forecast period.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

Increasing genetic disorders and respiratory diseases to drive the market growth.

Severe AATD causes most genetic disorders which need hospital treatment, and whenever it comes to the severity in treating the patients of AATD, there are treatment options such as bronchodilators, proteinase inhibitors, oxygen therapy, and corticosteroids, for this purpose augmentation therapy is the most preferred one and hence a major driving factor supporting the growth of the market.

Other key driving factors responsible for market growth are greater involvement of key players, improvement in diagnostic tools, and an increasing number of hospitals with modifications in the healthcare sector.

Augmentation Therapy for disease management largely contributes to market growth.

In addition to it, augmentation therapy is found effective in the decline of mortality rate in patients with AATD and offers health benefits such as prevention of lung destruction, the elevation of A1AT in plasma and lung interstitium, and correction of deficiency as well as well-proven safety and efficacy profile.

Market key drivers are also involved in the modification of augmentation therapy treatment to reduce the side effects, which highly contributes towards the market growth.

Restraints

Augmentation Therapy is Not a Permanent Cure

Augmentation therapy is also termed replacement therapy. Hence it can only slow down lung deterioration and not permanently cure the AAT deficiency. As well, the lung damage that has already occurred will not reverse every time.

IV administration of AAT, usually once/week for a lifetime, is generally administered into the bloodstream via Intravenous Catheter. Such repeated insertion of catheters and needles has the chance of damaging veins.

But it can be prevented by proper care under the supervision of a qualified and experienced medical practitioner.

Opportunity

Availability of Healthy Donors

Augmentation therapy involves the usage of Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) Protein obtained from healthy donors to expand the amount of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin in patients (having emphysema and those having severe AATD) lungs.

Hence it makes augmentation therapy an expensive and profit-generating treatment option and generates a large number of opportunities for the market driver to take an entry.

Technological Advancements and Rising Awareness

Furthermore, growing awareness among individuals regarding augmentation therapy, new drug development, innovation of new diagnostic techniques, and involvement of private and public authorities, as well as rising government campaigns in different countries, are creating more opportunities for leading players to focus on the augmentation therapy market.

Trends

Rising investment in R & D

Increasing investment in R&D, and capable pipeline products are anticipated to expand the growth of the AATD augmentation therapy market during the forecast period. Moreover, over 80 new molecules including inhalation therapy are being tested in clinical trial for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.

Key players are focused on gaining knowledge about the detailed analysis of the competitive landscape and market dynamics regarding pricing analysis, recent and upcoming developments, the prevalence of AATD by major countries, and regulatory scenarios for major countries.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin also has immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties.

SARS-CoV-2 infection was seen higher in the patients with AATD; hence the hospitals generated a considerable revenue in that period. But, due to the lower availability of staff and donors, the Augmentation therapy treatment faced a shortage. Thus the mortality rate increased during the Pandemic. This ultimately affected the global Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency Augmentation Therapy Market in both positive as well as negative ways.

Regional Analysis

North America holds the largest market share

Based on regional analysis, the market is divided into major regions North America, Latin America Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. The (AATD) Global Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency Augmentation Therapy Market is dominated by North America.

Thus, North America holds the largest share among all regions in the market and will continue to dominate for the forecast period. This is achieved by the implementation of awareness programs considering the treatments and diagnosis of AATD in that particular region. Hence this will improve the market growth in the upcoming period.

The country segment domination is mainly the impact of factors and revised changes in regulations in the Market that affects the future and current ongoing trends of the Market.

Owing to the government’s participation in the control and prevention of genetic disorders and improvement in the diagnostic procedures for critical diseases, the Market of Asia Pacific is predicted to expand with a significant Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) during the forecast period of 2023-2032. The rising population is the main factor responsible in Asia Pacific for market growth

However, North America registered a maximum revenue of US$ 579.5 Mn in 2022 and surely is going to lead in upcoming years. The dominance of North America is formed due to the rising prevalence of disease in Canada and the United States and the strategic appearance of key companies in that region. In terms of revenue, along with Asia Pacific, Europe is also projected as the prominent region to hold a large market share.
