Soliris Drug Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type (Plasma Exchange and Plasma Infusion), by Application (Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH), Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS), Myasthenia Gravis, Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder, and Other), Forecast Period (2025-2035)
Industry Overview
Soliris drug market was valued at $2.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $4.3 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period (2025-2035). Soliris drug (eculizumab) is the medication to treat very rare diseases such as PNH, aHUS, generalized myasthenia gravis, and Neuromyelitis Optica spectrum disorder. The market is driven by growing awareness and diagnosis of rare genetic diseases, with this drug and a few biosimilars being the only treatments for these life-threatening conditions.
Market Dynamics
Rising Genetic Disorders are Increasing the Demand for Soliris Drug Technology
The demand for Soliris is driven by the increasing prevalence of genetic disorders and rare diseases around the globe. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a rare disease affects approximately 1 in 2,000 individuals in the general population. Currently, there are over 7,000 known rare diseases impacting more than 300 million people globally, with about 70% of these conditions beginning in childhood. Additionally, there are limited resources for research and diagnosis, as well as insufficient investment and financial incentives for drug development in rare diseases. More than 95% of rare diseases still lack an effective treatment, which further supports the development of therapies based on Soliris.
High Treatment Costs and Access Challenges
Soliris faces significant market challenges due to its high cost, with annual treatment expenses exceeding $500,000 per patient. At approximately $6,523 per single-dose vial, Soliris ranks among the world's most expensive medications. This pricing structure creates substantial access barriers, particularly in emerging markets and regions with limited healthcare budgets.
Market Segmentation
The global soliris drug market is further divided by region, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, ASEAN Countries, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
North America Dominates the Soliris Drug Market
North America maintains the largest market share in the global Soliris drug market. The region continues to dominate the growing Soliris drug ecosystem owing to strong research infrastructure, favorable regulatory environments, large government investment, and major biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Also, North America has a high prevalence of rare diseases such as Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria and atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, driving demand for the Soliris drug. The region has an established healthcare system, including advanced diagnostic capabilities, which facilitates early detection and treatment of these conditions, contributing to market expansion.
The major companies operating in the global Soliris drug market include Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (now part of AstraZeneca), Amgen Inc., and Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd., among others. Market players are leveraging partnerships, collaborations, mergers, and acquisition strategies for business expansion and innovative product development to maintain their market positioning.
