Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of inherited disorders that impact adrenal gland function due to enzyme deficiencies, primarily 21-hydroxylase. Management involves hormone replacement therapy to regulate cortisol and aldosterone levels, suppress excess androgen production, and address symptoms such as electrolyte imbalances and abnormal physical development.
The main types of CAH are classic and non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Classic CAH is a genetic disorder mainly caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency, resulting in cortisol deficiency, excess androgen production, and potential aldosterone loss. Diagnosis and treatment take place across various healthcare settings, including hospitals, specialty clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and research institutes.
The congenital adrenal hyperplasia market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides congenital adrenal hyperplasia market statistics, including the congenital adrenal hyperplasia industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with the congenital adrenal hyperplasia market share, detailed congenital adrenal hyperplasia market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the congenital adrenal hyperplasia industry. This congenital adrenal hyperplasia market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The congenital adrenal hyperplasia market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.47 billion in 2024 to $0.50 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth during the historic period can be credited to the rising prevalence of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, increased adoption of corticosteroid therapies, growing healthcare expenditure, a heightened focus on pediatric care, and expanding government initiatives and reimbursement policies.
The congenital adrenal hyperplasia market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.66 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be credited to the rising demand for personalized medicine, an increasing incidence of genetic disorders, growing research on congenital adrenal hyperplasia treatments, higher healthcare investments, and the expanding use of telemedicine in managing the condition. Key trends include advancements in healthcare infrastructure, progress in molecular diagnostics, the development of enzyme replacement therapies, the creation of long-acting corticosteroid formulations, and improvements in genetic screening.
The increasing demand for gene therapy is expected to drive the growth of the congenital adrenal hyperplasia market in the coming years. Gene therapy is a medical technique that involves modifying or manipulating an individual's genes to treat or prevent disease. The rising demand for gene therapy is fueled by advancements in genetic research and biotechnology, enabling more precise and targeted treatments for genetic disorders, cancers, and other chronic diseases. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), which results from genetic mutations affecting adrenal hormone production, is a key area for gene therapy, offering opportunities for targeted genetic interventions to correct underlying defects and restore normal hormone function. For example, in April 2024, the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT), a US-based professional membership organization, reported that out of 1,023 gene therapies in development for rare diseases, eight of the top 10 targeted oncological conditions. Additionally, the second quarter of 2024 saw a 25% increase in gene therapy trials, with 76 new studies initiated. This growing demand for gene therapy is contributing to the expansion of the congenital adrenal hyperplasia market.
Leading companies in the congenital adrenal hyperplasia market are focusing on developing innovative treatments such as CRF1 receptor antagonists to regulate cortisol production and reduce adrenal androgen excess. CRF1 receptor antagonists are drugs that block the corticotropin-releasing factor 1 (CRF1) receptor, helping to regulate the body's stress response and control excessive adrenal androgen production in conditions such as CAH. For instance, in December 2024, Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc., a US-based biopharmaceutical company, received FDA approval for crenessity (crinecerfont), the first new treatment for congenital adrenal hyperplasia in 70 years. This oral medication functions as a selective antagonist of corticotropin-releasing factor type 1 receptors, helping to regulate excess adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and adrenal androgens while allowing for lower glucocorticoid doses. Approval was based on data from the CAHtalyst Phase 3 studies, which demonstrated significant efficacy in reducing androgen levels. Crenessity is expected to be available soon, representing a major advancement in CAH management.
In November 2022, Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. expanded its portfolio by acquiring Diurnal Group Limited for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen Neurocrine's presence in hormone therapeutics, accelerate the development of Diurnal's products, and enhance its market position in the UK for chronic endocrine diseases. Diurnal Group Limited, a UK-based biotech company, specializes in developing and commercializing hormone therapeutics for the treatment of chronic endocrine disorders, including congenital adrenal hyperplasia, adrenal insufficiency, hypogonadism, and hypothyroidism.
