Myasthenia Gravis Market Trends



  • Growing prevalence of myasthenia gravis to propel market growth


The prevalence of myasthenia gravis has considerably increased during the past few decades on a global scale. This rise may be a result of populations in both developing and developed nations becoming more aware of the ailment and receiving diagnoses at a higher rate. The market is expanding as a result of the countries' increasing reimbursement policies for the illness. Also, a study by the National Organization for Rare Diseases (NORD) found that there are probably 50,000 cases of myasthenia gravis in the United States, or 14 to 40 cases per 100,000 people. The prevalence of the illness is also believed to be 15 per 100,000 people in the U.K., and it has grown over time. Thus, this factor is driving the market CAGR for myasthenia gravis.

Furthermore, the age distribution of the population is another aspect that contributes to the market's expansion. In 2020, 20.6% of Europe's population, or more than one in five people, were 65 years of age or older, per the Eurostat study. Between 2010 and 2020, the proportion of people in Europe who are 80 or older is expected to rise significantly, from 5.9% to 14.6%. The incidence of the illness rises progressively with age, according to the MDPI Journal of Clinical Medicine. The age range of 60 to 89 is where the prevalence is highest. As a result, the prevalence of the disorder is increasing along with the population's average life expectancy.


However, as health care expenses and per capita income increase globally, there will likely be a greater demand for pricey therapies like intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy and plasma exchange. Furthermore, governments in developing countries are spending a lot of money to upgrade their healthcare systems, which will probably increase access to healthcare. Cutting-edge medicines, technologies, and treatments will probably become more popular as a result. The market of myasthenia gravis will soon have more opportunity for IVIG and monoclonal antibody therapy. Thus, it is anticipated that this aspect will accelerate myasthenia gravis market revenue globally.
