Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/13/2018 -- Thalassemia Treatment Market – Snapshot
The global thalassemia treatment market is driven by increase in number of altered thalassemia genes across the globe. The global market was valued at US$ 842.0 Mn in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2018 to 2026 to reach US$ 1,639.6 Mn by 2026. The global market is witnessing high growth owing to increase in blood transfusion and chelation therapy treatments, high number of bone marrow transplants, increase in number of spleen surgeries, and surge in R&D expenditure.
Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder which produces abnormal hemoglobin in the body. This genetic blood disorder leads to the formation of a large number of red blood cells that are continuously destroyed, which further leads to anemia. The two types of proteins present in the blood of thalassemia patients are alpha globin and beta globin. Alpha thalassemia occurs primarily in people living in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, China, and Africa. Beta thalassemia occurs in people in the Mediterranean origin, and to a lesser extent in people in China, other Asians, and African Americans.
Chelation therapy and blood transfusion are the most common treatments for thalassemia patients, as these are cost effective and are easily available compared to bone marrow transplantation. Chelation therapy uses drugs such as deferasirox for the treatment of chronic iron overload occurs during multiple blood transfusions among non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients. Chelation therapy drugs used subcutaneous or intravenous with slow infusion technique for purifying blood increase the possibility of curing thalassemia patients.
