Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP) Treatment Market

Introduction

Porphyria is a genetic metabolic disorder with inborn error of heme biosynthesis. Heme is essential component of blood cells which carry oxygen and support in breaking down chemical compounds in the liver.

Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is a type of porphyria which is a rare disease associated with an impaired activity of ferrocheletase (FECH) an important enzyme in heme production. The worldwide reported prevalence for Erythropoietic protoporphyria is rages from 1 in 75,000 to 1 in 200,000 and it is the most common porphyria in children.

Drug therapies used to treat Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) includes antihistamines, analgesics, hormonal therapy, phototherapy, sunscreens, and antioxidants. Hormonal therapy is a recent emerging treatment in an erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) treatment market approved by the US FDA.

Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP) Treatment Market: Drivers and Restraints

The significantly increasing unmet need of advanced erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) treatment therapeutics for the treatment of erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is expected to propel the growth of the global erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) treatment market.

In addition, growing prevalence of erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) in children is expected to fuel the growth of erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) treatment market. Novel therapeutic development and approval is expected to propel an erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) treatment market in the future.

However, higher treatment cost and lack of standardize healthcare facilities are the key factors expected to slow down the growth of erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) treatment market in the emerging economies.
