Overview:
The market for rare disease products is continuously growing, expecting to reach $176 billion by 2020, with a CGR of 10.5% just for orphan drugs – this is twice the growth rate of the overall prescription drug market (5.3% CGR from 2014-2020). Explanations for this include the arising interest for pharmaceutical companies, primarily for underlying benefits, including the potential discovery of mechanisms for more common diseases, and the involvement of many smaller biotechnology start up companies who are more focused on rare diseases.
Following this, SMi are proud to announce our 9th Annual Orphan Drugs and Rare Diseases conference, aiming to bring together solution providers, biotechnology companies, clinical researchers, regulatory professionals and charity leaders together to discuss possible ways to accelerative orphan drug development and access to rare disease patients, including the introduction of recent technologies and products to help aid the access of orphan drugs.
