Apraxia Market Size

ID: MRFR//3444-HCR | 115 Pages | Author: Kinjoll Dey| April 2024

Apraxia is a rare neurological disorder characterized by the inability to perform purposeful movements, despite having the physical ability to do so. The rarity of apraxia directly influences the market dynamics, making it a niche area in the field of neurology and healthcare.
As a result of the small population of persons affected with apraxia, the patient population is limited. Most challenging for pharmaceutical firms in the design of clinical trials and the development of targeted therapies is the fact that there is a short supply of patients as the number of patients involved is not usually high.
The inability to execute voluntary movements when the desire to make specific finger movements is specified does not comprise a single disorder but a type of spectrum with subtypes, such as ideomotor apraxia and ideational apraxia. Isn’t the diversity of types of apraxia a source of complications, for diagnosis and treatment providing the need for a targeted approach to any particular subtype.
There is an increasing need for multidisciplinary team work which includes neurologists, speech therapists and the occupational therapists for diagnosis of apraxia. The market is being shaped by the presence of specific diagnostic devices and the relevant knowledge required for accurate and thorough evaluation.
The commonly used therapies in treating apraxia are the rehabilitative therapies involving speech therapy and occupational therapy. One of the determinants of the market is that demand for a proper therapeutic intervention and providers specialized in apraxia treatment.
Interrelationship between genetic and environmental influences on the course of apraxia implements the market difficulty. The basis of genetics and environmental stimuli is crucial for the directed implementation of therapeutic activities and personal treatment methods.
For such a rare disease as apraxia, the pharmaceutical company may apply some to get the orphan drug designation for various potential therapies. Orphan designation grants some advantages including the financial incentives, and the market exclusivity aim to stimulate research and development and helps them to work on issues.
Various inputs from patient advocacy groups and rising awareness regarding apraxia are central in the market. These initiatives contribute to the population’s education, health professionals’ training, and policymakers’ enlightening; this helps in a better acceptance, identification, diagnosis, and support to individuals with apraxia.
As a matter of fact, creating pharmacological interventions for apraxia is complicated due to the nature of the disorder. However, distinguishing proper drug targets and holding clinical trials with a low patient fund faces challenges for pharmaceutical firms handling to introduce efficient treatment.
Specific regulatory considerations, such as approving rare disease treatments, influence apraxia market dynamics. Navigation through obstacles represented by regulatory issues implies complex cooperation between pharmaceutical companies, regulatory agencies, and advocacy groups to promote treatment innovation and approval.

Apraxia Market Scenario


Apraxia Market is expected to grow USD 3.72  Billion at a CAGR 6.90% during the forcast period 2023 to 2030.Apraxia is a neurological condition. Also, it is known as a motor disorder caused by damage to the brain. In this case, patients who find it difficult or impossible to make certain motor movements, even though their muscles are normal. Apraxia can occur in different forms one of which is orofacial apraxia. In which, patients are unable to voluntarily perform certain movements involving facial muscles. For instance, they may not be able to wink. Another form of apraxia affects a patient’s ability to intentionally move arms and legs.


Whereas in children apraxia of speech (CAS) has a number of possible causes, but in many cases, the cause can't be determined and often don't observe a problem in the brain ischemia of a child with CAS. CAS may be the result of brain (neurological) conditions or injuries, such as a stroke, infections or traumatic brain injury.


The apraxia market growth is majorly attributed to the increasing prevalence of neurological disorders, increasing investment of biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries in R&D, and rising need for the better treatment methods drive the growth of the market. Moreover, favorable reimbursement policies, increased application and significant investments in the development of new technologies for the treatment of various neurological diseases are likely to fuel the Apraxia Market growth during the forecast period.


According to the WHO estimates, neurological disorders are responsible for 4.5%-11% of all illnesses including low or high-income economies. This is far higher as compared to the number of respiratory ailments, gastrointestinal disorders, or cancers, and the burden is expected to increase further over the coming years.


However, the high cost of this treatment procedure may hamper the Apraxia Market growth during the corresponding period.


The global apraxia market is expected to grow at a CAGR of ~ 6.90 % during the forecast period 2023-2030.
