Advancements in Genetic Testing Propel Skeletal Dysplasia Market Growth
The global skeletal dysplasia market size is expected to reach USD 3.85 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 2.0% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing prevalence of this condition, especially in children, and growing adoption of orphan drugs are likely to contribute to the expansion of the market. Among different disorders, achondroplasia is the most common condition. According to estimates published by the National Human Genome Research Institute in 2016, achondroplasia occurs in 1 in 15,000-40,000 live births. Although there are no current therapies approved specifically for achondroplasia, there are five therapies under clinical development. Genetic defects attributable to the disorder include spontaneous mutations in the FGFR3 gene. Vosoritide by BioMarin targets inhibition of the FGFR3 pathway and presents a first-in-class drug for achondroplasia. The drug is in phase III clinical trial and is expected...
