The Wolman disease market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Wolman Disease Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Wolman disease refers to a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to break down certain fats, called lipids. This condition is caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal acid lipase enzyme, which is responsible for breaking down lipids in the body. As a result, lipids may accumulate abnormally in the organs and tissues of the body, manifesting a variety of symptoms. The most common indications of this disorder include bloating or swelling of the stomach, enlargement of the spleen and liver, low muscle tone, scarring of the liver, etc. Individuals suffering from Wolman disease may also experience persistent and often forceful vomiting, foul-smelling, frequent diarrhea, fatty stools, growth failure, malnutrition, etc. The diagnosis of this ailment relies on a comprehensive clinical examination, a complete patient history, and specialized tests that show lysosomal lipase acid enzyme absence or insufficient activity in particular cells and tissues of the body. The healthcare provider may also perform several imaging studies, such as a CT scan, MRI, X-ray, etc., to identify enlargement of the person's spleen or liver, enlarged lymph nodes, and calcification of the adrenal glands.
The rising cases of gene mutations that affect the breakdown or metabolism of certain fats in the body are primarily driving the Wolman disease market. Besides this, the increasing prevalence of inherited metabolic disorders that lead to the buildup of fatty substances in specific organs is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of recombinant enzyme therapies, including sebelipase alfa, for treating the condition, since they can help to break down fats and control them from accumulating in the body's cells, is also creating a positive outlook for the market. Apart from this, the inflating utilization of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to enable the growth of healthy cells with sufficient levels of lysosomal acid lipase that can dramatically improve existing symptoms is further augmenting the market growth. Moreover, the emerging popularity of gene therapy, in which the defective gene is permanently replaced with a normal gene to promote the production of active enzymes and inhibit the progression and development of the ailment, is expected to drive the Wolman disease market in the coming years.
