The global breakthrough therapy designation market size is anticipated to reach USD 242.7 billion in 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.2% from 2024 to 2030. Breakthrough Therapy (BT) designation is granted to drugs that display substantial results in the treatment of life-threatening diseases in the initial stages of the drug development process. Expedited regulatory process in North America and EU regions is driving growth. An increase in the number of innovative molecules receiving the BT status, coupled with a rise in the demand for orphan drugs as well as those for the treatment of cancer, is anticipated to boost the market over the forecast period.
The development time of BT therapy is 30.0% to 50.0% lesser than those without the designation. This significantly increases the net present value of the investigational molecule. Reduction in the development time of these drugs is expected to accelerate their approval process as compared to standard drugs as well as boost growth opportunities. The BT tag also increases the value of the drug due to its high scientific value.
There has been a consistent rise in the number of drugs receiving BT status in the U.S., and this trend is also expected to drive the number of applications submitted for the same, thereby contributing to the market growth.
