The projection for 2025 is equally promising, with a growth of over 30% from the 2024 levels. This upward trend is mainly attributed to Recorlev, or as the company calls it, the “flagship product,” which has a small market of around 10 to 15 million patients per million in the United States, targeted by few. Steve Pieper, the CFO at Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:XERS), made the following comment:
