Japan Orphan Drugs Industry Trends and Drivers:

The Orphan drugs market in Japan is growing at a healthy pace due to regulatory schemes supporting development of rare disease drugs, rising rates of rare disease diagnosis, aging population burden of rare diseases, technological advancement by the pharmaceutical industry to develop target therapeutics and increasing patient advocacy of access to treatment. The Japanese orphan drug designation system offers manufacturers significant incentives such as reduced review periods, discounts on regulatory fees, market exclusivity as well as high prices that enhance development economics of treatments that target therapies of a small group of patients. The growth of the technologies of diagnosis such as genetic testing, biomarkers, and disease-specific screening programs have increased the rate of rare diseases detection, discovering the patients who previously were not diagnosed and thus could have an opportunity of receiving orphan-drug therapy. The heightened vulnerability of the aging population to some rare diseases such as rare cancers, neurodegenerative disorders, and age-associated genetic manifestations increases the number of patients that can be used by orphan therapeutics. The commercial appeal of orphan drugs in the strategic interest of the pharmaceutical industry encompasses such promising commercial potentials as high prices, low competition, regulatory advantages, and the need to assist both humanitarian and commercial interests.

The market is also enjoying the gains of scientific discoveries in precision medicine, biologics development, gene therapy, and targeted molecular therapies that allow treating rare diseases that once were incurable with novel therapeutic actions. The effectiveness of breakthrough orphan drugs that satisfy medical needs that cannot be met shows the possibilities of treatment and sets precedents to approve the drug regulation, reimbursement, and integration in the practice. The biggest market segment is the growth of oncology orphan drugs in rare cancers with the current pipeline expansion and additional indications clearance. The breakthrough in the disease-modifying treatment of rare genetic disorders such as enzyme replacement therapies and gene therapies provides life-altering interventions at a premium price based on clinical worth. Additionally, harmonization of orphan drug laws across countries provides the simultaneous global development program which makes time-to-market and development costs down to the lowest level possible as well as the intensive participation of the patient advocacy groups in the process of developing therapeutics through funding of research, recruiting patients to clinical trials, and carrying out regulatory activities accelerates the process of developing medicine and provides the patient voices with the dominant position in the prioritization of therapeutic development, which will contribute to the entire ecosystem of orphan diseases development.
