Core Business Areas
- Genetic Diseases: Development and commercialization of therapies for rare genetic diseases like phenylketonuria (PKU), mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS), and achondroplasia.
- Acquired Conditions: Development and commercialization of therapies for certain acquired conditions where genetic factors play a significant role.
- Research and Development: Extensive research and development programs focused on discovering and developing new therapies for rare diseases.
Leadership and Structure
The leadership team includes Alexander J. Denner (Chairman), Alexander J. Denner (Interim Chief Executive Officer). The organizational structure is hierarchical with distinct departments for research, development, manufacturing, commercial operations, and finance.
Top Products and Market Share
Key Offerings
- Vimizim (elosulfase alfa): An enzyme replacement therapy for Morquio A syndrome (MPS IVA). Competitors are limited due to the rarity of the disease. Vimizim generated significant revenue but market share specific details are not publicly available in detail. Sanofi has been a competitor in MPS space.
- Kuvan (sapropterin dihydrochloride): A medication for phenylketonuria (PKU). Competitors include synthetic phenylalanine lowering drugs and gene therapy approaches. Revenue is decreasing due to generic entries and competition. Precision BioSciences and Homology Medicines are working on gene therapy.
- Naglazyme (galsulfase): An enzyme replacement therapy for mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI). Competitors are limited due to the rarity of the disease. Market share is high within its niche. No direct competitors for Naglazyme currently.
- Voxzogo (vosoritide): A therapy for achondroplasia. BioMarin's market entry here has been successful but potential competitors are emerging and revenue data is tracked. Ascendis Pharma is working on an achondroplasia treatment.
Market Dynamics
