Breakthrough Therapy Designation Market Worth $144.6 Billion By 2025

The global breakthrough therapy designation market is anticipated to reach USD 144.6 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. 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.

Further Key Findings From the Study Suggest:

• The infectious diseases segment dominated the market in 2016. However, it is expected to exhibit moderate growth in the forecast period owing to the decline in sales of blockbuster drugs such as Harvoni and Sovaldi

• Oncology is expected to be the dominating segment over the forecast period owing to a rise in the demand for cancer medicines and an increase in the number of oncology molecules gaining BT status. As of 2017, the number of molecules gaining BT status is the highest in this segment

• The rare diseases segment is estimated to exhibit the fastest growth owing to the rise in demand and an increase in the R&D pipeline of orphan drugs

• North America is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period owing to well-established intellectual property laws and preference of patients and healthcare professionals for innovative medicines

• Some of the key players are F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd; Gilead; Novartis AG; Pfizer, Inc.; AbbVie, Inc.; Janssen Global Services, LLC; Bristol-Myers Squibb Company; Eli Lilly and Company; Sanofi; Regeneron; AcadiaPharmaceuticals, Inc.; Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH; Amgen, Inc.; AstraZeneca; and GlaxoSmithKline plc.
