The global spinal muscular atrophy treatment market was pegged at US$ 1.2 billion in 2021 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 12.3% during the forecast period of 2022 to 2030.
Market Fundamentals
Spinal muscular atrophy is a genetic disorder that affects the peripheral neurological system, the central nervous system, and the movement of voluntary muscles. It predominantly affects the spinal cord and weakens voluntary muscles and atrophy. Thus, the loss of motor neurons results in spinal muscular atrophy, which causes a gradual loss of muscle control, movement, and strength.

Market Dynamics
The global spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) treatment market is an emerging industry and is expected to depict noticeable revenue growth during the forecast period. The growth of this revenue growth of this market can be attributed to the growing cases of spinal muscular atrophy and rising awareness about this rare disease and its available treatments. Additionally, a strong product pipeline, growing strategic collaborations/acquisitions, rising R&D activities, and technological advancements are expected to contribute to the market revenue growth. Moreover, the launch of novel therapies and products with enhanced results and the availability of reimbursement policies for such a rare disease is likely to boost the revenue growth of the global spinal muscular atrophy treatment market during the forecast period. However, the high cost of treatment and limited access to SMA treatment, especially in low-income countries, may hinder market revenue growth to some extent.
Market Ecosystem
The global spinal muscular atrophy treatment market is analyzed from four perspectives: type, drug type, distribution, and region.
Spinal Muscular Atrophy Treatment Market by Type
[2342344]
Based on type, the global spinal muscular atrophy treatment market is segmented into type I, type II, and others (type III and IV). The type I segment dominates the segment with the largest revenue share. Type I, also known as Wedding-Hoffmann disease, is the most common medical condition found in this SMA and highly occurs in infants or new-born, as this condition occurs due to faulty genes from the parent. This segment has the highest incidence among all the SMA, thus, it becomes the main cause of dominance of this segment.
Type II segment SMA, also known as Dubowitz disease, has a considerable revenue share in the global spinal muscular atrophy treatment market, due to rising prevalence and increasing awareness among the population.
Spinal Muscular Atrophy Treatment Market by Drug Type
Based on the drug type, the global spinal muscular atrophy treatment market is segmented into onasemnogene abeparvovec and nusinersen.
Nusinersen leads the segment with the largest revenue share in the market. This growth can be attributed to a better effect on the people suffering from SMA. This drug improves the quality of life by reducing the impact of SMA on the patient’s body and helps raise the SMN (spinal motor neuron) protein for normalizing the functionality of muscles and nerves. Furthermore, nusinersen has shown efficient clinical results in the clinical trial by prolonging the survival rate in children aged 2 years. Thus, these factors are encouraging the revenue growth of this segment.
Theonasemnogen abeparvovec segment revenue is also growing at a good pace due to the rising adoption for treating SMA, thereby contributing to the revenue growth of the spinal muscular atrophy treatment market globally.
Spinal Muscular Atrophy Treatment Market by Distribution Channel
Based on the distribution channel, the spinal muscular atrophy treatment market is segmented into hospital pharmacies and retail pharmacies.
Hospital pharmacies dominate the global spinal muscular atrophy treatment market revenue due to the high patient volume and easy access to specialized care. Additionally, the fact that only highly trained, and skilled physicians administer the drugs used for treating such rare medical conditions is supporting the revenue growth of this segment.
The retail pharmacies segment has a low contribution in terms of revenue.
Spinal Muscular Atrophy Treatment Market by Region
Based on the region, the global spinal muscular atrophy treatment market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World.
North America dominates the global spinal muscular atrophy treatment market with the largest revenue share. The rapid adoption of enhanced diagnostic and treatment technologies, availability of developed healthcare infrastructure with significant healthcare expenditures, and a strong base of market players contribute to the dominance of the spinal muscular atrophy treatment market in this region. Additionally, increased R&D activities, growth in strategic collaborations/partnerships, and availability of enhanced reimbursement policies for such rare diseases further contribute to the market revenue growth in this region.
On the other hand, Asia Pacific is proliferating due to the developing healthcare infrastructure, rising healthcare expenditure, and increasing R&D activities. Moreover, improving medical tourism, increasing adoption of advanced technologies/therapies, and improving reimbursement policies are driving market revenue growth in this region.
Competitive Landscape
The prominent players operating in the global spinal muscular atrophy treatment market are:
Strategic Developments
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest revenue generating regional market for spinal muscular atrophy treatment.
The estimated market size of the spinal muscular atrophy treatment market in 2030 is expected to be US$ 3.41 billion.
The global spinal muscular atrophy treatment market is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 12.3% during the forecast period.
The high cost of treatment and limited access to SMA treatment, especially in economically low countries, may hinder market revenue growth.
Astellas Pharma Inc., Novartis AG, Biogen Inc., Genentech Inc. (F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd.), and Genzyme Corporation are the top 5 players in the global spinal muscular atrophy treatment market.
