Market Scenario
The Erythropoietin Drugs Market Size is expected to reach USD 19,800.56 Million by 2030 at 11.2% CAGR during the forecast period 2022-2030.
Erythropoietin is also known as hematopoietin. Erythropoietin is a hormone responsible for formation of red blood cells, it is secreted by kidneys and it promotes formation of red blood cells from bone marrow. This process is known as erythropoiesis. Erythropoietin has many applications such as treatment of anemia, treatment of chronic kidney diseases, AIDS and it also has applications in oncology. Synthetic forms of erythropoietin like epoetin alfa, epoetin beta, darbepoetin alfa, epoetin omega and epoetin delta have developed due to the development in the recombinant DNA technology. Epoetin alfa and darbepoetin alfa are the most popular erythropoietin drugs. They form 80% of the total Erythropoietin Drug Market.
Amgen Inc. was the first company to invent epoetin alfa and darbepoetin alfa. The company patented these drugs as epogen and aranesp, respectively. Amgen’s patent for epogen has expired. This has led a lot of companies manufacturing biosimilars to venture into the Erythropoietin drug market. The global erythropoietin drug market research is anticipated to be growing rapidly owing to the increasing prevalence of cancer rising occurrence of anemia and blood related disorders, patent expiration of leading erythropoietin drugs and favorable reimbursement policies and government regulations. According to a study published by the National Institute of Cancer in 2016, 1,685,210 cases of cancer were registered. Most of the cancer patients suffer from anemia which results into the rise in the need for erythropoietin drugs.
