DelveInsight's "Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Market Insight, Epidemiology And Market Forecast - 2034" report delivers comprehensive insights into the limb girdle muscular dystrophy treatment (LGMD) treatment landscape, historical and forecasted epidemiology, as well as market trends across the United States, EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), the United Kingdom, and Japan. The report thoroughly evaluates current treatment paradigms, emerging therapeutic approaches, and market forecasts through 2034, providing essential limb girdle muscular dystrophy market intelligence for the stakeholders.
According to DelveInsight's analysis, the LGMD treatment market is projected to grow substantially during the forecast period, with the market size expected to increase with a notable CAGR across the seven major markets. The US accounts for the largest limb girdle muscular dystrophy market size across these major markets, primarily due to higher diagnosed limb girdle muscular dystrophy prevalent cases.
This growth trajectory is underpinned by enhanced understanding of limb girdle muscular dystrophy mechanisms, targeted therapeutic development, and increasing investment in rare disease research and development initiatives.

According to DelveInsight's epidemiological estimates, limb girdle muscular dystrophy affects males and females in equal numbers. The condition represents the fourth most common muscular dystrophy, with a limb girdle muscular dystrophy prevalence of 1.63 per 100,000 people, following myotonic dystrophy, dystrophinopathy, and facioscapulohumeral dystrophy. The United States accounts for the highest prevalent cases globally, followed by Europe. Among the European countries, LGMD prevalence ranges from 0.8 to 6 per 100,000 across different regions, with dominantly inherited LGMD representing only 5-10% of all limb girdle muscular dystrophy cases in the UK.
The DelveInsight report further categorizes the limb girdle muscular dystrophy patient population into two major classification groups: LGMD1 and LGMD2, distinguished by their respective inheritance patterns of autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive transmission. This classification framework is essential for understanding disease progression, treatment responses, and epidemiological distribution across different patient populations. The age of onset demonstrates significant variability, even among individuals within the same family, highlighting the complex genetic landscape of this progressive neuromuscular disorder.

Currently, there are no limb girdle muscular dystrophy treatments available for a complete cure, with management primarily focused on supportive care, physical therapy, and symptom relief. Treatment approaches may include medications for LGMD symptom management, respiratory therapy for breathing complications, occupational therapy for swallowing difficulties, and specialized diet and nutrition counseling for patients experiencing chewing or swallowing challenges. This significant treatment gap represents a substantial unmet medical need driving innovation in the therapeutic pipeline.
The limb girdle muscular dystrophy therapeutic pipeline demonstrates robust promise, with several novel treatments advancing through late-stage clinical development. BridgeBio's BBP-418 represents a pioneering oral therapy specifically designed for LGMD2I/R9, targeting the dysfunctional alpha-dystroglycan protein to address the underlying pathophysiology of muscle weakness. This innovative compound has secured Fast Track and Orphan Drug designations from the FDA and is currently progressing through Phase III clinical trials, with Phase II data demonstrating potential for functional improvements and reduced muscle breakdown.
Sarepta Therapeutics has developed an extensive portfolio of gene therapy programs addressing multiple limb girdle muscular dystrophy subtypes, including LGMD2E/R4, LGMD2D, LGMD2C, LGMD2B, LGMD2L, and LGMD2A, collectively targeting over 70% of known LGMD cases. The company's lead candidate, SRP-9003, is currently advancing through Phase III development, representing a significant milestone in gene therapy approaches for neuromuscular disorders.
Asklepios Biopharmaceuticals has developed LION-101 (AB-1003), a cutting-edge gene therapy utilizing recombinant adeno-associated virus technology to deliver functional FKRP gene copies to affected cells. This innovative therapeutic approach has secured Investigational New Drug clearance and Fast Track designation from the FDA, currently progressing through Phase I/II clinical trials with promising early results.
Recently, the FDA granted Platform Technology Designation to Sarepta Therapeutics in June 2025, for the rAAVrh74 viral vector used in SRP-9003, an investigational gene therapy for LGMD type 2E/R4. This designation will expedite future gene therapy development.
Furthermore, Sarepta's investigational gene therapy for LGMD type 2E/R4 (beta-sarcoglycanopathy) has completed enrollment and dosing in its phase 3 trial (EMERGENE) and plans to submit a BLA seeking accelerated approval in the second half of 2025.
