Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Opportunity Analysis and Forecast to 2027

Summary

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron degenerative disease which affects both upper motor neurons (UMN) and lower motor neurons (LMN). It is a progressive disease, with patients becoming increasingly dependent on carers and physicians as time from onset increases, and ultimately, it is fatal. ALS can be split into two origins, hereditary – which is known as FALS (Familial ALS) or idiopathic – known as SALS (sporadic ALS).

Currently there are only two drugs on the market that are approved for the treatment of ALS; Sanofi’s Rilutek (riluzole) and Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma’s Radicava (edaravone). The drugs were special cases in terms of FDA approval, they did not meet the normal regulatory requirements for approval but due to the increase in survival of patients they were granted approval.

GlobalData estimates that drug sales for ALS in 2017 were approximately $203M across the seven major markets covered in this report. Over the 10-year forecast period, the market is expected to grow to $1.2B at a CAGR of 19.4%. This growth will be driven by the launch of six late-stage pipeline products. The two highest selling drugs are expected to be Brainstorm Therapeutics’ NurOwn and Aquestive Therapeutics’ Riluzole OSF, which both address some of the unmet needs in the market.
