The Epidermolysis Bullosa market is increasingly defined by gene therapy innovations and cell-based treatment approaches. The approval of VYJUVEK (beremagene geperpavec) represents a watershed moment, marking the first topical gene therapy for Epidermolysis Bullosa. More recently, ZEVASKYN (prademagene zamikeracel) received FDA approval in April 2025, establishing itself as the first cell-based gene therapy for Epidermolysis Bullosa.

Epidermolysis Bullosa comprises multiple subtypes, each with distinct clinical presentations and treatment requirements. Simplex Epidermolysis Bullosa represents the least severe form, with many individuals experiencing improvements as they age. Conversely, recessive dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa represents the most critical and debilitating subtype. In 2023, among type-specific cases, more than 30% of prevalent cases were observed in dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, while only 5% were identified in junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa.

The total prevalent cases of Epidermolysis Bullosa in the 7MM comprised approximately 46,500 cases in 2023 and are projected to increase during the forecasted period. The United States contributed to the highest prevalent cases, accounting for approximately 65% of the 7MM in 2023. The European Union countries and the United Kingdom, as well as Japan, accounted for around 30% and approximately 5% of the total population share, respectively, in 2023.

According to DelveInsight estimates, in the United States, there were approximately 18,000 cases of Epidermolysis Bullosa simplex, around 1,450 cases of junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa, and approximately 8,500 cases of dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa in 2023. There is a slight difference in the ratio of males versus females, with patient share of males being slightly higher.

Epidermolysis Bullosa Overview

Epidermolysis Bullosa is a rare, ultra-rare genetic skin disorder characterized by extreme skin fragility and blistering in response to minimal friction or trauma. The condition is caused by genetic mutations affecting proteins responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of the skin. The severity of Epidermolysis Bullosa can vary widely, ranging from mild to life-threatening, depending on the specific subtype. Early diagnosis and personalized treatment approaches are crucial for managing disease progression and improving patient outcomes. Epidermolysis Bullosa encompasses three major types: simplex (characterized by intraepidermal blistering), junctional (affecting the basement membrane zone), and dystrophic (involving abnormalities in type VII collagen). The disease imposes significant physical, emotional, and economic burdens on patients and their families, necessitating multidisciplinary care approaches and supportive management strategies.

Key Trends in Epidermolysis Bullosa Therapeutics Market:

• Gene Therapy Innovation: Increasing development and approval of gene therapies, including topical formulations like VYJUVEK and cell-based therapies like ZEVASKYN, representing paradigm shifts in treatment approaches.
• Cell-Based Therapies Expansion: Growing investment in autologous cell sheet-based therapies and mesenchymal stromal cell approaches for addressing chronic wounds and disease pathology.
• Precision Medicine and Diagnostic Advancement: Enhanced molecular diagnostics enabling identification of specific genetic mutations and targeted treatment selection.
• Combination Therapy Development: Investigation of multimodal approaches combining gene therapy with supportive care and adjunctive treatments.
• Expanded Access Programs: Implementation of specialized treatment centers and patient support programs to ensure equitable access to advanced therapies.

Recent Development In The Epidermolysis Bullosa Treatment Landscape:

• In December 2025, a groundbreaking clinical trial was announced to repurpose existing drugs for treating Epidermolysis Bullosa. The Advancing Repurposed Therapeutics (ART) EB trial, led by Dr Su Lwin from King's College London and funded by LifeArc and DEBRA UK, represents the world's largest drug repurposing initiative for Epidermolysis Bullosa. The five-year trial aims to investigate whether drugs already used to treat common skin conditions can be effectively repurposed for Epidermolysis Bullosa, with recruitment beginning in 2026 and the drug trial commencing in 2027.
