Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS), commonly known as progeria, is an extremely rare and fatal genetic condition that causes rapid aging in children. It is triggered by mutations in the LMNA gene, resulting in symptoms such as growth delays, hair loss, premature skin wrinkling, and cardiovascular complications. The average life expectancy of individuals with progeria is around 14.5 years.
The primary treatments for Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) include farnesyltransferase inhibitors (such as Zokinvy (lonafarnib)), low-dose aspirin, physical and occupational therapy, hearing aids, genetic counseling, and other supportive therapies. Farnesyltransferase inhibitors such as Zokinvy (lonafarnib) work by blocking the enzyme responsible for protein modification, providing a targeted treatment that may help slow premature aging in affected children. These treatments are administered through various methods, including oral, injectable, intravenous, and transdermal routes, utilizing mechanisms such as antisense oligonucleotides, CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, RNA interference, and targeted drug delivery systems. The treatment is utilized across multiple healthcare settings, including hospitals, specialty clinics, academic and research institutes, and other medical facilities.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.
The hutchinson-gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides hutchinson-gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) market statistics, including the hutchinson-gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with the hutchinson-gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) market share, detailed hutchinson-gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the hutchinson-gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) industry. This hutchinson-gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) 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 hutchinson-gilford progeria syndrome (hgps) market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $97.63 billion in 2024 to $106.25 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rise in awareness about rare genetic disorders, increasing in funding for progeria research, expansion of genetic testing, rise in government initiatives for rare disease, and rise in global prevalence of genetic disorders.
The hutchinson-gilford progeria syndrome (hgps) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $147.88 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to an increase in funding for research and development of new therapies, rising prevalence of progeria, increasing global healthcare expenditure, rising adoption of novel therapeutic approaches, and growing demand for early diagnosis. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, development of targeted therapies, advancements in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, development of biomarkers, and advancements in drug delivery systems.
The forecast of 8.6% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff barriers are expected to hamper the U.S. by increasing the cost of lonafarnib and other progeria-targeting therapies sourced from the Netherlands and Denmark, thereby delaying rare disease treatment and elevating pediatric specialty care costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rise in funding for research and development of new therapies is expected to drive the growth of the Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) market. Research and development funding refers to financial resources allocated to fostering innovation, enhancing scientific knowledge, and advancing technological solutions. The increase in such funding is attributed to factors such as the growing demand for innovative treatments and government support for healthcare advancements. Greater investment in research and development accelerates progress in treating Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome by supporting clinical trials and promoting the development of novel therapies. It also advances the understanding of the genetic origins of the disease and enables the creation of targeted solutions. For example, in April 2024, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government agency, reported that in 2022, the UK government's net expenditure on research and development (R&D) increased by 10.5%, reaching £15.5 billion ($17.59 billion), up from £14.0 billion ($15.88 billion) in 2021. As a result, increased funding for research and development is contributing to the growth of the Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) market.
Leading companies in the Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) market are prioritizing the development of advanced farnesyltransferase inhibitors to enhance treatment effectiveness and slow disease progression in affected patients. Farnesyltransferase inhibitors are drugs that block farnesyltransferase, an enzyme responsible for protein modification, helping prevent abnormal cell growth and aging. For instance, in July 2022, Eiger BioPharmaceuticals, a US-based biopharmaceutical company, received marketing authorization from the European Commission for Zokinvy, making it the first and only approved treatment in Europe for Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) and processing-deficient progeroid laminopathies (PL) in children and young adults. Zokinvy, an oral disease-modifying agent, demonstrated a 72% reduction in mortality risk and an average life extension of 4.3 years in clinical trials. The European Commission's centralized authorization applies across all 27 EU member states as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.
In May 2024, Sentynl Therapeutics, Inc., a US-based biopharmaceutical company, acquired Zokinvy from Eiger BioPharmaceuticals, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Sentynl aims to address the unmet medical needs of patients suffering from ultra-rare genetic conditions that cause accelerated aging and significantly shorten life expectancy. Eiger BioPharmaceuticals, Inc., a US-based biopharmaceutical company, originally developed Zokinvy (lonafarnib) for the treatment of Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS).
