India Thalassemia Market Highlights

The India thalassemia market is accounted to register a CAGR of 5.03% during the forecast period and is estimated to reach USD 0.38 billion by 2032.

Thalassemia treatment program for medicine focuses on managing the symptoms and complications of this genetic blood disorder. The primary goal of treatment is to maintain an adequate level of hemoglobin in the body to prevent severe anemia and related complications. Regular blood transfusions are a common part of the treatment regimen for thalassemia patients. These transfusions provide healthy red blood cells and help increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. However, frequent transfusions also lead to iron overload in the body, requiring the administration of iron chelation drug to remove excess iron. For the same reason, there are several programs that assist thalassemia patients financially. For instance, in May 2023, COAL INDIA Launched Thalassemia Bal Sewa Yojana (TBSY)—Phase III—on World Thalassemia Day 2023 with an outlay of USD 300 million. The program has extended financial assistance of up to USD 0.012 million to each patient fitting the scheme criteria for the treatment including therapies. Although state governments are responsible for providing free treatment for Thalassemia, the National Health Mission (NHM) offers additional support. This support also includes funding for iron chelation drugs and states need to submit annual proposals to the NHM outlining their plans for utilizing this support. Thus, the increasing financial support boosts the growth of the market and also develops confidence in patients to continue their treatment.

Additionally, advancements in prenatal and newborn screening technologies have revolutionized the detection and management of thalassemia. These technologies allow for the early identification of thalassemia carriers and affected individuals, enabling physicians to provide timely interventions and treatments. There are manufacturers in India that are actively developing newborn and prenatal screening technologies and also launching non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) services. For instance, in March 2021, Bioserve Biotechnologies Pvt. Ltd. (India), a wholly owned subsidiary of REPROCELL, Inc. (US), launched non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) services in India. Bioserve offers advanced preimplantation genetic screening and diagnosis (PGS/PGD), diagnostic testing for prenatal and postnatal cases, and carrier screening services under the PRENITA brand, in addition to the launch of NIPT. Therefore, the above-mentioned market drivers are boosting the growth of the India thalassemia market.
