The global phenylketonuria (PKU) treatment market is anticipated to grow with a significant CAGR during the forecast period. A commonly used therapy for the management of PKU is diet therapy. Market players such as Nestlé Health Science are providing medical foods to aid patients with PKU to manage their disease and get the nutrients they need while on a protein-free diet. However, with the growing age, it becomes quite difficult for the patients to maintain their strict diet and the drugs are needed for further control the disease. Kuvan is a common drug for controlling PKU in the form of a tablet and powder solution that is used to lower blood Phe levels in adults and children over a month of age. Moreover, Kuvan can be used alongside a Phe-restricted diet. Besides, various new alternative therapies are being tested and used for phenylketonuria treatment. For instance, gene therapy is being used very widely with the intention to permanently restore PAH expression in the liver and to eliminate the need for special diets.
