Increasing Regulatory Support Boosts Market Growth

Increasing support from different regulatory bodies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is accelerating the clinical evaluation and development of innovative therapeutic solutions for treating and managing neurogenetic disorders. For instance, in May 2025, BlackfinBio Limited received approval from the US FDA to begin phase ½ clinical trial for adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy targeting HSP, Type 47. The trial aims to assess the tolerability, safety, and efficacy of the AAV gene therapy in patients with HSP, Type 47. Such approvals validate scientific advancements and incentivize pharmaceutical companies to invest in research and development activities.

Additionally, the provision of rare pediatric disease status and orphan drug designation further encourage pharmaceutical companies to pursue novel therapeutic solutions by providing benefits such as financial incentives and market exclusivity. Such supportive initiatives foster collaboration between industry leaders, clinical centers, and academic institutions, resulting in the expedition of molecular and genetic discoveries, improving treatment outcomes and bolstering the availability of treatment options, positively influencing the market’s expansion.

Rising Research Activities Support Market Expansion

Advances in molecular genetics and next-generation sequencing have already identified over 80 genetic causes of HSP, laying the groundwork for variant-specific therapies. Researchers across the globe are focusing on developing gene therapies for HSP. For instance, in January 2024, a team of researchers from the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience & Biotechnology (KRIBB) developed gene therapy for HSP. The team identified the role of ARL6IP1 gene in the onset of HSP. Their findings showed that ARL6IP1 is involved in maintaining homeostasis of cellular organelles and is located in the mitochondrial associated ER membrane. The presence of a robust research environment that fosters innovations and supports development of new therapies is allowing researchers to bridge the gaps in HSP care and develop disease modifying treatments.

Hospitals Pharmacies Account for Significant Share of the Market

The segment’s dominance can be attributed to the central role played by hospitals and clinics in the management and treatment of HSP. The condition requires multidisciplinary care involving physiotherapies and neurologists, among other specialists, which is only available and effectively coordinated in hospitals and clinics. Additionally, hospitals and clinics also offer medication management and comprehensive patient monitoring, which is essential for diseases such as HSP. They are equipped with the necessary technology and professionals to handle complex cases, provide patient education to improve treatment adherence, and adjust treatment regimens. Additionally, hospitals algo participate in various clinical trials to elevate the understanding of different mechanisms associated with HSP, further strengthening the segment’s position. For instance, Boston Children's Hospital is conducting an observational study to better understand the role of genetic factors in HSP. The study is estimated to conclude in April 2027.

North America Holds Major Market Share

The rapid growth of the market in North America can be attributed to the availability of high fundings for rare disease research, strong presence of leading market players, availability of advanced genetic testing services, and rising incidences of HSP. As per the estimates of the Spastic Paraplegia Foundation, in the United States the HSP incidence rate is approximately 20,000.

The strong presence of leading academic and research institutions and pharmaceutical companies is supporting innovations and new product launches, driving the market’s growth and expansion. In countries such as the United States, supportive framework and initiatives including the Orphan Drug Act are enabling early-stage clinical research and providing financial incentives for HSP drug development. Additionally, the rising popularity of telehealth services is improving patient access to specialists and neurologists, especially in rural locations, allowing patients to receive timely diagnosis, supporting the market’s expansion.
