Key Highlights – Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Therapeutics Market

North America leads the market, capturing the largest revenue share of 43.5% in 2024.

Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region, projected to expand at a CAGR of 8.1% over the forecast period.

By therapeutic type, the molecular-based segment held the largest revenue share of 45.1% in 2024.

Key players in the market include Sarepta Therapeutics, PTC Therapeutics, Nippon Shinyaku (NS Pharma), ITF Therapeutics, and Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, among others.

• The Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy therapeutics market has witnessed significant advancements in gene and molecular therapies over the past few years. One notable development is the approval of mutation-targeted exon-skipping therapies, such as Exondys 51, Vyondys 53, and Amondys 45 by Sarepta Therapeutics, and Viltepso by Nippon Shinyaku. These therapies are designed to bypass specific genetic mutations in the DMD gene, allowing for partial restoration of functional dystrophin protein. .

• In addition, gene therapy and cell-based approaches are rapidly advancing, representing a transformative shift in DMD treatment. Sarepta’s Elevidys (SRP-9001) and Capricor’s Deramiocel (CAP-1002) are at the forefront, targeting underlying genetic defects and offering the potential for long-term disease modification. Regulatory agencies, including the FDA and EMA, are increasingly granting accelerated approvals, orphan drug designations, and breakthrough therapy designations, facilitating faster market access for these innovative treatments.

Key Industry Developments

In September 2025, Capricor Therapeutics, a biotech company developing cell- and exosome-based therapies for rare diseases, provided a regulatory update on its Biologics License Application (BLA) for Deramiocel, an investigational cell therapy for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). This followed a Type A meeting with the FDA after receiving a Complete Response Letter (CRL) in July 2025.

Meanwhile, the high cost of DMD treatments remains a major barrier. Sarepta’s Elevidys is priced around $3.2 million per patient, while exon-skipping therapies like Exondys 51 and Viltepso range from $300,000 to $600,000 annually. Such steep prices strain healthcare systems and families, particularly in regions with limited insurance coverage, limiting equitable access and broader adoption despite significant scientific progress.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Treatment Market: Growth & Challenges

• Rising innovations in DMD treatment are driving market growth. Gene therapies, like Elevidys, target the root cause absence of dystrophin slowing disease progression and showing sustained functional benefits in both ambulatory and non-ambulatory patients. Exon-skipping therapies, such as Exondys 51 and Vyondys 53, help produce functional dystrophin, improving motor outcomes and expanding treatment options.

• However, high drug costs remain a major barrier. Gene therapy Elevidys is priced around $3.2M per patient, while exon-skipping drugs exceed $300K annually, limiting access, especially in low- and middle-income regions. Despite groundbreaking advances, affordability challenges are slowing market adoption and expansion.

Recent Developments:

• In March 2024, Italfarmaco S.p.A. announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of Duvyzat (givinostat), a novel histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, for the treatment of patients 6 years or older with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a rare X-linked progressive and life-limiting neuromuscular condition with symptoms from early childhood.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Therapeutics Market – Regional Insights

North America: Leading the global DMD therapeutics market with 43.5% share in 2024, driven by strong FDA support, high healthcare spending, and early adoption of advanced therapies. Key players like Sarepta, PTC, and Capricor are advancing gene and molecular-based treatments.
