The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the darbepoetin alfa market in the future. A chronic disease is an illness that lasts three months or longer and can worsen over time. Darbepoetin alfa is used to treat various chronic diseases and to reverse chemotherapy-induced anemia in cancer patients. For instance, in June 2024, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, a statutory authority of the Australian Government, reported that chronic conditions were responsible for 171,500 deaths in 2022, accounting for 90% of all deaths, with a rate of 659 per 100,000 population. The age-standardized death rate due to chronic conditions decreased to 448 per 100,000 in 2020 but rose to 459 in 2021 and 490 in 2022. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is driving the growth of the darbepoetin alfa market.
The rising prevalence of diabetes is expected to propel the growth of the darbepoetin alfa market going forward. Diabetes refers to a long-term metabolic disease that causes high blood glucose levels. Over time, this condition causes major harm to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and other organs. Darbepoetin alfa plays a crucial role in diabetes patients by addressing the anemia associated with the condition, promoting red blood cell production, and improving overall quality of life. For instance, in June 2022, according to the International Diabetes Federation, a Belgium-based diabetes federation, the prevalence of diabetes had increased to 10.5% worldwide, with over half (44.7%) of people still undiagnosed. According to IDF predictions, 783 million adults, or one in eight people, will have diabetes by 2045. This would represent a 46% rise, more than double the projected population growth for the same period (20%). Therefore, the rising prevalence of diabetes is driving the growth of the darbepoetin alfa market.
