Market Overview
Orphan drugs for treating diseases that afflict less than 200,000 individuals in the U.S. are attracting more than ever before from regulators and pharmaceutical innovators. The FDA's Orphan Drug Act and complementary legislation from the EMA have spurred market action by providing advantages such as market exclusivity, fee reductions, tax credits, and expedited approval channels. These instruments greatly alleviate commercial risks involved in developing drugs for small patient bases.
Pharma giants and biotech companies are pouring into the space, drawn by large margins and longer terms of exclusivity. Concurrently, technologies like gene therapy, CRISPR, monoclonal antibodies, and cell-based treatments are allowing precision medicines with revolutionary results.
The U.S. is still at the forefront of orphan drug development, fueled by robust R&D spending, swift FDA approval times, and growing collaborations between academia, biopharma, and patient organizations. Government initiatives and expanded access avenues are making treatments more broadly available to those suffering from rare disease.

Segment Analysis
By Therapy Type
The orphan drugs market was dominated by the oncology segment with a share of 38.7 % in 2024. This hegemony is due to the high level of unmet need and increasing prevalence of orphan cancers like glioblastoma and neuroendocrine tumors. Because of the fast-track approval paths - especially for cancer drugs - it's tempting for drugmakers to target these types of treatments.
By Drug Type
Biologics led the market in 2024 with 72%, on account of better target specificity and high efficiency for the treatment of rare diseases. Monoclonal antibodies, gene therapies, and recombinant proteins have made a breakthrough in the development of orphan drugs by delivering disease-modifying results in contrast to the palliative effects.
By Distribution Channel
Hospital pharmacy services held the major share of the distribution side with a share of 58% globally in 2024. It is mainly because orphan drugs are generally liable to special management, administration by hospital workers, and patient follow-up, which are easier to perform in a hospital.

Regional Analysis
North America led the orphan drugs market in 2024, driven by favorable government legislation like the Orphan Drug Act, faster approval processes, high healthcare expenditure, and the dominant presence of key biopharma companies. The U.S. holds the largest share due to its strong regulatory support, early diagnosis capabilities, and strategic collaborations in rare disease drug development.
Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region, propelled by rising awareness, increasing diagnosis rates, and growing government focus on rare diseases in countries like Japan, China, and South Korea. The expanding biopharma infrastructure and investment in local orphan drug R&D also contribute to rapid regional growth.

Details Save $40 $210 at Amazon Close More Prime Day deals For even more bargains, take a look at our full roundup of the best Amazon deals under $100. Amazon July Prime Day 2025 date Amazon has announced that this year's Prime Day will occur from July 8 to July 11. Usually, the sale only lasts two days, so this is a significant expansion compared to previous years. However, the amount you save could be affected by tariffs. Regardless, we expect to see tons of price cuts on the latest tech, smart home upgrades, everyday basics and more. Additionally, you can start adding deals to your cart now. Previous Amazon Prime Day dates Since Amazon launched its first Prime Day sale back in 2015, the company has scheduled the event for around the same time of year. Outside of a couple of recent years, Amazon has traditionally kicked off its main sale event around the middle two weeks of July, and 2025 is no exception. Here are the previous Amazon Prime Day dates: Prime Day 2015: July 15 Prime Day 2016: July 12 Prime Day 2017: July 11 to 12 Prime Day 2018: July 16 to 17 Prime Day 2019: July 15 to 16 Prime Day 2020: Oct. 13 to 14 Prime Day 2021: June 21 to 22 Prime Day 2022: July 12 to 13 Prime Early Access Sale 2022: Oct. 11 to 12 Prime Day 2023: July 11 to 12 Prime Big Deal Days 2023: Oct. 10 to 11 Prime Day 2024: July 16 to 17 Prime Big Deal Days 2024: Oct. 8 to 9 Big Spring Sale 2025: March 20 to 25 Prime Day 2025: July 8 to 11 Should you shop July 4th sales or Prime Day? There's no doubt that there will be tons of deals during both events. However, it's not about when to shop but what to shop for. If you're looking for outdoor things like a patio set or power tools, Fourth of July sales will bring you more savings. But if you're looking for electronics or smart home gadgets, you'll have better luck during Prime Day. And if you don't have anything specific in mind, enjoy shopping all these deals for just about half the month of July. Will tariffs affect this year's Prime Day deals? Tariffs are top of mind for most Americans and it could impact this year's Prime Day event. Prices on items like electronics could very well increase, with companies like Apple trying to avoid so by moving manufacturing operations elsewhere. The tariffs are currently paused but only until July, right when Prime Day begins. What is Prime Day? Amazon began the annual Prime Day tradition back in 2015. And ever since, bargain hunters have eagerly awaited its return every summer. The Prime Day sale event has historically taken place in July, and this year is no exception. Amazon often has other sales throughout the year, including a second Prime Day-like sale in October and the Big Spring Sale. We know Prime Day is less than two weeks away but we're covering all the essentials well ahead of time, including everything from signing up for Amazon Prime and returning Prime Day purchases to getting Prime Day deals free and using extra Prime perks.

One Big Beautiful Bill & Job Growth Send Stocks To New Highs
Continued job growth and an expected economic boost from the tax cuts in the One Beautiful Big Bill ... More Act (OBBBA) helped push the probability of an economic downturn closer to the lows of the year. President Trump's July 9 tariff deadline looms as the next big hurdle this week. Better-than-expected job growth and the passage of US tax legislation propelled the S&P 500 to all-time highs on Friday. Please note that the tax bill is named the One Beautiful Big Bill Act (OBBBA), so no partisan political views are intended by using its name. One Chart (Still) Tells The Story As the threat of recession has waned, as illustrated by the lower betting odds of recession, stocks have rallied to new highs. At the early April stock lows, the massive US tariffs announced on Liberation Day sent the betting odds of recession soaring to 65%. As the tariff threat eased and some progress was made on trade agreements, stocks have recovered sharply. The resiliency of the labor market and an expected economic boost from the tax cuts in the OBBBA helped push the probability of an economic downturn closer to the lows of the year. Stocks & Recession Odds Lower Economic Risk The more economically sensitive cyclical stocks have outperformed less economically impacted defensives since the stocks bottomed, coinciding with the peak of recession fears. This data bolsters confidence in the view that the macroeconomic situation has been the primary driver of stocks so far this year. Economically-Sensitive Versus Defensive Stocks Recent Market Performance The S&P 500 reached an all-time high in the holiday-shortened week, now resting at 2.2% above its previous mid-February high after having declined by almost 20%. The Magnificent 7, comprising Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META), (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), NVIDIA (NVDA), Alphabet (GOOGL), and Tesla (TSLA), has recovered to only 3.5% below its mid-December level after being as much as 30% under the peak. The strength in US bank stocks remains notable. The Federal Reserve recently revised its methodology, which will result in fewer Stress Capital Buffers (SCBs) being required for banks in the future. All other things being equal, less need for capital means better profitability and the ability to return more capital to shareholders. In addition, banks are economically sensitive, so they typically receive a boost from better economic outlooks. Market Returns Job Growth Employment grew by 147,000 nonfarm jobs, which was above expectations. Previous data was revised slightly higher, which is a positive. The household survey data was solid, with a gain of 93,000 jobs, and the research series, which mirrors the payroll report criteria, rose by 751,000. The significant increase in the research series reverses much of the decline from the previous month. Monthly Job Growth Contrary to expectations, the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.1% from 4.2%. The decline was due to job gains of 93,000 in the household survey and a reduction of 130,000 in the labor force. US Unemployment Rate Wage growth was below expectations at 3.7% year-over-year, down from 3.8% last month. The average workweek hours were lower at 34.2, just above the five-year low of 34.1 in January, hampered by weather and the LA fires. Workweek & Wages Monitoring the employment-to-population ratio among prime-age individuals, aged 25 to 54, should signal when concern about the unemployment rate is warranted. The improvement in the three-month average of the prime-age employment-to-population ratio is evidence that the labor market has been resilient. It should be monitored closely, but it has been able to maintain a steady level so far. Prime-Age Employment-To-Population Ratio Initial weekly filings for unemployment benefits remain benign. However, continuing claims for benefits are above the lows, indicating some slowdown in people being rehired after losing their jobs. Continuing Claims For Unemployment Benefits Bottom line: The details of the jobs report were less impressive than the headline, but job growth was better than expected, and labor market health remains solid. Federal Reserve Markets currently expect two 25-basis-point (0.25%) Fed cuts in 2025, consistent with the median Fed projection. The better jobs data eliminated any chance of a cut in July, but the first move lower in 2025 is still expected in September. Expected Fed Rate Cuts What To Watch This Week Economic data releases are sparse this week. In addition, there are only two companies in the S&P 500 scheduled to report earnings. Now that the One Beautiful Big Bill Act (OBBBA) has been signed into law, President Trump's July 9 tariff deadline should be the focus. While deals with Vietnam and the UK, as well as a détente with China, have been reached, the tariff levels of many large trading partners remain unsettled, barring a trade agreement. President Trump said letters are being sent to the countries notifying them of the effective tariff rate on their exports to the US, effective August 1, unless a trade deal is reached. Market participants will be keen to see if more trade deals are signed or if the possible economic drag from higher tariffs begins to weigh on the US economic outlook again. Conclusions Stocks have reacted favorably to the better economic data and the likely boost from the tax cuts passed last week. The hurdles at these valuation levels are higher, but optimism about future corporate earnings has improved as economic downside risks have receded. Another spike in effective tariff rates around President Trump's July 9 deadline could raise concerns about the economic headwinds increasing again, so increased volatility would not be unexpected.

We look at the price history for that product to make sure no brands are inflating prices to make the discount seem more substantial than it is. Quality reviews and testing are important for any product, including laptops. If you're unhappy the first time you turn it on, the discount wasn't worthwhile. Remaining sale time is a huge part of our vetting process. If a deal seems like it will only be around for a short while or will only be available for the remaining stock, we'll let you know up front so you don't come back to the deal later only to be disappointed.
