Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia Market Set for Steady Growth Through 2034, Driven by Emerging Therapies and Rising Diagnosis Rates, estimates DelveInsight
Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare, indolent form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal B cells in the bone marrow, leading to excessive production of immunoglobulin M (IgM). This abnormal protein accumulation contributes to many of the disease’s clinical manifestations. In 2023, an estimated 3,190 new WM cases were reported across the seven major markets (7MM), with the United States accounting for nearly 40% of diagnoses, followed by France, highlighting a higher disease burden in developed regions.
WM predominantly affects males and older adults, with around half of all cases diagnosed in individuals over 65 years of age. This demographic trend is attributed to hormonal influences, genetic predisposition, age-related immune decline, and the accumulation of key mutations over time. Among these, the MYD88 L265P mutation—present in more than 85% of WM patients—is a critical diagnostic and pathogenic marker. This mutation leads to continuous activation of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) via interleukin-1 receptor signaling, promoting B-cell survival, proliferation, and disease progression.
Therapeutically, IMBRUVICA (ibrutinib), a BTK inhibitor developed by Janssen/AbbVie, is approved by the US FDA for WM treatment. However, the clinical pipeline remains limited, with only a few emerging therapies such as Sonrotoclax (a BCL-2 inhibitor by BeiGene) and acalabrutinib (ACP-196 by Acerta Pharma) currently in Phase II development, underscoring ongoing unmet needs in WM management.

Key Highlights from the Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia Market Report
- The Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia market is expected to witness steady growth, registering a significant CAGR over the forecast timeframe from 2020 to 2034.
- Among the EU4 countries and the UK, the United Kingdom represented the highest market valuation in 2023 at nearly USD 16.4 million, followed by Germany, while XX accounted for the lowest market share.
- In 2023, approximately 3,190 new cases of Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia were identified across the 7MM, with the United States contributing around 40% of total cases, followed by France.
- IMBRUVICA (ibrutinib), developed by Janssen in collaboration with AbbVie, has secured approval from the US FDA for the treatment of Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia. Despite this milestone, the overall therapeutic pipeline remains relatively sparse, with limited companies advancing late-stage candidates.
- The MYD88 L265P mutation is detected in more than 85% of patients with Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia serves as a key diagnostic marker. This mutation results in sustained BTK pathway activation via the interleukin-1 receptor signaling cascade, influencing malignant B-cell activity and disease advancement.
- Prominent players operating in the Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia market include AbbVie, Cellectar Biosciences, TG Therapeutics, Eli Lilly, Celgene, AstraZeneca, ADC Therapeutics, Amgen, Merck, Onyx Therapeutics, BeiGene, GSK, InnoCare Pharma, Millennium Pharma, Janssen, among others.
