Additionally, the bones affected by the disease are prone to osteopenia and fracture. Moreover, Gorham’s disease is extremely rare and can occur at any age, though it is most often recognized in children and young adults.
The increasing incidence of the disease is the key driver for the market growth. According to the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NIH), in 2016, the number of cases of vanishing bone disease market reported ranged from 64 to 200 cases. Moreover, increase in research and development activities by prominent players and rising government funding’s are likely to propel the market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, according to the U.S. FDA, rare diseases or disorder affects an approximate 200,000 people in the United States.
