The Epidermolysis Bullosa Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3813.38 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 11% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) refers to a group of rare genetic disorders that cause easy blistering of the skin and mucous membranes from minor friction or trauma. There are three main types of EB - simplex, dystrophic and junctional. It is caused by one or more mutations in any of at least 18 different genes that help maintain the integrity of the skin. The treatment options for EB focuses on wound and scar management, pain control, careful protection of skin, nutritional support and physiotherapy. Advancement in gene and cell therapies have opened new opportunities for EB treatment.

Market key trends:
The growing research and development activities for EB therapies such as gene and cell therapies is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in October 2019, RegeneRx announced positive results from clinical trials of RGN-137 for EB. In 2021, Castle Creek Pharmaceuticals started phase 1/2 clinical trial of CCP-020, a genetically modified autologous keratinocyte therapy for the treatment of EB. Amryt Pharma’s LOTION for EB wounds is under phase 3 trials. Advances and success in clinical trials of gene and cell therapies holds potential to transform the treatment of EB. Moreover, increasing prevalence of genetic disorders along with rising awareness levels regarding EB and availability of treatment options are some other factors expected to support market growth during the forecast period.
