Rare diseases or orphan diseases are conditions that affect a small percentage of the population at any given time.

According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), an orphan disease is defined as a disease or condition affecting less than 200,000 people in the country. Orphan Drugs Act under the U.S. legislation allows manufacturers to request FDA to grant an orphan drug status to drugs intended to treat a rare disease or condition.

Increasing government initiatives for spreading awareness about rare diseases coupled with the presence of advanced healthcare infrastructure in developed and some developing economies are major factors driving the growth of the global rare disease drugs market.

In addition, favorable reimbursement policies in developed economies and favorable regulations for approval of drugs for the treatment of rare diseases are other major factors projected to boost the growth of the global rare disease drugs market over the forecast period.

Moreover, government incentives such as the reduced tax on medicines, and higher funding for research on rare diseases and their treatments are other factors expected to propel the growth of the global market to a significant extent.

However, high costs related to R&D for the development of rare disease drugs coupled with the presence of a small patient pool are major factors restraining the growth of the global rare disease drugs market.

Additionally, a limited number of human trials conducted is another major factor anticipated to limit the growth of the global rare disease drugs market over the forecast period.

Currently, the market in North America dominates the global rare disease drugs market in revenue terms owing to the presence of proper healthcare facilities, high awareness about diseases and drugs, and favorable government reimbursement policies in the region.

The market in Europe accounted for the second-highest revenue share in the global rare disease drugs market, due to high healthcare expenditure by governments of countries, and high disposable income, followed by markets in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa respectively.

The market in Asia Pacific is projected to witness fastest growth in terms of revenue, owing to increase in number of patients suffering from rare and chronic diseases, and rise in government initiatives for improvement of healthcare facilities in countries in the region.
