The rising prevalence of anemia is anticipated to drive growth in the hemochromatosis (iron overload) disease treatment market. Anemia is a blood disorder characterized by a reduced number of red blood cells (RBCs) or lower hemoglobin levels, leading to decreased oxygen delivery to the body’s organs and tissues. Treatment for hemochromatosis (iron overload) disease aims to prevent anemia by using iron chelator medications, which help avoid organ damage and manage complications linked to blood disorders. For example, in December 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based agency, estimated that 40% of children aged 6 to 59 months, 37% of pregnant women, and 30% of women aged 15 to 49 worldwide are affected by anemia. Consequently, the increasing prevalence of anemia is expected to propel the hemochromatosis (iron overload) disease treatment market forward.

The increasingly stressful lifestyle prevalent today is expected to significantly contribute to the growth of the hemochromatosis (iron overload) disease treatment market. Stressful lifestyles exert profound effects on both physical and mental health, with prolonged exposure to high stress levels potentially leading to various health conditions, including hemochromatosis (iron overload) disease. Treatment for this condition, characterized by excessive iron accumulation in the body, not only addresses the physical aspects of the disease but also plays a pivotal role in alleviating the emotional and psychological stress often associated with managing a chronic health condition. For instance, data from the American Psychiatric Association in December 2022 revealed that over one in four Americans (26%) anticipated experiencing increased stress levels at the commencement of 2023, a rise from one in five (20%) reported in the previous year. This escalation in stressful lifestyles acts as a driving force propelling the hemochromatosis (iron overload) disease treatment market.

Leading companies in the hemochromatosis (iron overload) disease treatment market are securing approvals for drugs like deferiprone, designed for patients with transfusional iron overload to help reduce iron levels in the body and prevent complications like organ damage. Deferiprone is a medication used to treat iron overload in individuals who have undergone frequent blood transfusions, a common scenario in conditions like thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, and other chronic anemias. For instance, in March 2023, Chiesi Global Rare Diseases Inc., a U.S.-based business unit, announced the approval of FERRIPROX MR (deferiprone) extended-release tablets in Canada. FERRIPROX MR is indicated for the treatment of transfusional iron overload in patients with thalassemia syndromes when existing chelation therapy is insufficient, including patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) or other anemias. Deferiprone is an orally active iron-chelating agent that reduces iron concentration by penetrating cell membranes, binding excess iron, and facilitating its removal from organs and tissues.

In August 2022, CSL Limited, an Australian biotechnology company specializing in drug manufacturing for hemochromatosis (iron overload) disease, completed the acquisition of Vifor Pharma for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition is set to reinforce CSL's dedication to patient care by providing state-of-the-art medications and extending its presence in the realms of nephrology and iron deficiency treatments. Vifor Pharma, based in Switzerland, is a pharmaceutical company renowned for its expertise in offering treatments designed specifically for hemochromatosis (iron overload) disease.

Hemochromatosis is a genetic disorder marked by the excessive absorption and storage of iron throughout the body, affecting organs such as the liver, heart, pancreas, and joints and potentially leading to severe health complications. The primary goal of treatment is to manage iron levels and prevent associated complications, emphasizing early detection of the disease.

Two main types of hemochromatosis exist such as hereditary hemochromatosis and acquired hemochromatosis. Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a genetic disorder characterized by the abnormal absorption and accumulation of iron. Various treatments, including therapeutic phlebotomy and iron chelation therapy, are employed to manage this condition. These treatments are utilized by different end-users such as hospitals and surgical centers in the effort to address and mitigate the effects of excessive iron accumulation in the body.
