Kuick Research’s analysis is based on both primary and secondary research, covering more than 1000 FDA designated orphan drugs across various therapeutic areas. Each dataset-from clinical trial records to dosage and pricing information-has been independently validated using company filings, financial disclosures, and verified regulatory sources. The result is a strong analytical base representing the performance and potential of the US orphan drug sector. To investors, this means clarity on which product categories, therapeutic niches, and corporate players have the highest potential for long-term value creation.
The Orphan Drug Act, upon its institution in 1983, transformed the US rare disease ecosystem from a neglected space to a thriving segment that attracted global capital. Most notably, the framework of the Act laid the groundwork for a sustainable model in innovation for small patient populations through seven-year market exclusivity and tax incentives. A policy initiative to support underserved communities has grown into one of the major commercial drivers of the pharmaceutical world. Currently, orphan-designated therapies are reaching blockbuster status, thereby setting new market expectations for niche drug development.
Merck’s Keytruda (pembrolizumab) best describes this commercial promise of the space. Originated from the orphan designation granted in 2012, it has since expanded into various cancer indications-many of these are still classified as rare. In 2024, Keytruda generated nearly US$ 29.4 billion in global revenue, with the US market accounting for more than half. This success underscores how orphan drugs-which have their origins in intending treatments for a limited patient pool-can grow into cornerstone assets that have broad therapeutic and financial reach. Similarly, Gilead’s Biktarvy was once one of the niche HIV treatments but is now generating over US$ 13 billion in annual sales. Both drugs represent ways in which the orphan drug incentive model can yield high-revenue outcomes while advancing clinical innovation.
The US orphan drug market’s growth is further supported by a steady flow of collaborations and strategic partnerships aimed at accelerating development timelines and managing R&D risk. The March 2025 partnership between Cadrenal Therapeutics and Abbott, centered on the development of tecarfarin for advanced heart failure patients with ventricular assist devices, demonstrates the power of alliance-driven innovation. Tecarfarin’s orphan designation not only offers regulatory advantages but also provides a clear example of how smaller biotech firms are leveraging partnerships to scale promising therapies more efficiently.
As investors increasingly recognize the duality in scientific impact and strong financial performance, the orphan drug segment is attracting a diverse mix of capital, from institutional funds to strategic acquirers seeking portfolio diversification. Advances in genomics, personalized medicine, and molecular diagnostics continue to increase the addressable patient base, while changing regulatory policies by the US FDA are lowering the barriers to market entry.
Looking ahead, the orphan drug market in the US is positioned to continue growing through the decade, driven by improving diagnosis rates, accelerated approval pathways, and strong pricing power for specialized therapeutics. For investors, it provides a unique opportunity to align capital with innovation-where social impact meets financial scalability. As more therapies for rare diseases make their way from clinical promise to commercial success, the sector will remain one of the most compelling long-term growth stories in global healthcare.
