Report Overview

The Australian Fabry Disease Therapeutics Market size stood at around USD xx billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD xx billion by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period.

Fabry Disease (also known as Anderson-Fabry Disease) is a rare genetic disorder which is caused by the deficiency of defective gene i.e., alpha-galactosidase-A gene (GLA gene) which leads to deficiency of an alpha-galactosidase enzyme. Alpha-galactosidase A (AGA) enzyme hydrolyses the terminal a -galactosyl moieties from glycolipids and glycoproteins. This disease is caused by an abnormal build-up of a specific fatty matter called globotriaosylceramide in multiple tissues of the body including eyes, skin, kidney, gastrointestinal system, brain, heart, and central nervous system.

People probably carry from 5 to 10 genes with mutations in each of their cells. It has been estimated that Fabry disease affects between 1:40,000 people, in males it is around 1:17,000. Fabry is seen across all ethnic groups. In a research, the average age of 44.5 years of Fabry affected patients has been reported while 81% of women and 61% of men has been found the classical Fabry disease.



Market Drivers

Growing prevalence of Fabry Disease and its consequences on healthcare expenditure have augmented the demand for special treatments, positively impacting the Fabry Disease treatment market growth during the forecast period.
