Spinal Muscular Atrophy – Forecast in Asia-Pacific Markets to 2028

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a rare genetic neurodegenerative disease that primarily affects children. It is characterized by loss of spinal motor neurons, which are specialized cells that control muscle movement.
In recent years the first approved therapy for SMA, Biogen’s Spinraza (nusinersen), has gained marketing authorization in four of the five growth markets (5GM) – Japan, Australia, South Korea and China.
Strong market growth is anticipated across the 5GM over the forecast period. This will largely be driven by increased uptake of Spinraza in the early-to-mid forecast period and the launch of pipeline products from 2020 onwards.
Key unmet environmental and clinical needs in SMA include limited SMA resources and specialists, lack of disease awareness among physicians, low diagnosis rates, limited treatment options and lack of access to disease-modifying therapy for late-onset SMA.
Key Questions Answered
How is SMA currently managed and does this vary by subtype?
To what extent will the launch of pipeline products over the forecast period fulfil the unmet needs in the market?
How will the launch of pipeline products impact Spinraza?
How will growth vary by market?

Scope

Overview of SMA, including epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, classification, diagnosis, and disease management.

Market Data including annualized SMA therapeutics market revenue, cost of therapy per patient, and treatment usage patterns in fours patient segments (Type 1, 2, 3, and 4) forecast from 2018 to 2028.

Key topics covered include unmet needs and opportunity assessment, R&D strategies and clinical trial design.

Pipeline analysis: comprehensive data assessing emerging trends and mechanisms of action under development for SMA therapy. The most promising candidates in Phase II and III development are profiled.

Analysis of the current and future market competition in the SMA therapeutics market: Insightful review of the industry drivers and barriers and in-depth analysis of trends within each of the 5GM.

Key Highlights

In the past three years, Spinraza, the first disease-modifying therapy for SMA has been approved in four of the 5GM – Japan, Australia, South Korea and China.

However, the market remains characterized by significant unmet needs, both clinical (e.g. limited treatment options) and environmental (e.g. lack of disease awareness among physicians).

GlobalData anticipates that four pipeline drugs will launch over the forecast period in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. These pipeline drugs are expected to address significant unmet needs for SMA and significantly boost growth in the SMA market across the 5GM.

These pipeline products include Novartis’ Zolgensma (onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi), a gene therapy administered as a one-time intravenous infusion, as well as risdiplam and branaplam, orally administered small molecules in development by Roche and Novartis, respectively, which have a similar mechanism of action to Spinraza.

Across the 5GM, the SMA market is projected to grow from $308.6M in 2018 to $2.5B in 2018 at a CAGR of 23.3%.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
